  • Page 38: Control Code Details

    8.2 Control Code Details (1) Command for Line Feed After Printing (CR/LF) By entering CR (0DH)/LF (0AH) codes, data in the print buffer is printed followed by a line feed. Without data in the print buffer, only a line feed is performed. This command is ignored just after buffer full in case of 910 emulation.
  • Page 39 Laterally enlarged letter assignment (SO/RS) command: With SO (0EH)/RS (1EH) codes input in any columns, the data following are printed in prints enlarged double in width. Although standard and enlarged letters can be mixed within one line, automatic (buffer-full) printing takes place when the number of columns reaches 24 (or 40) counted in standard letters.
  • Page 40 Content of the input buffer, however, is held unchanged. (6) Power Down Function (DC2, DC3) Only when 3110 emulation is selected In order to reduce power consumption when printer is waiting for the operation, 2 power down modes triggered by the codes DC2 and DC3 are incorporated into this product.

  • Page 46 In 3110 emulation As this printer takes half-dot printing system, dots cannot be aligned continuously in printing (horizontal) direction. Therefore, even if any pattern is specified at point “*” at the right of point “G” above, it cannot be registered as a pattern.
  • Page 47 (13) Registered Letter Valid/Invalid (ESC + “%” + n) Command Whether a registered pattern is valid or invalid is set with ESC (1BH) + ”%” (25H) + n code being input. n = 1 (01H): Registered pattern to be made valid. (Addresses for which no registration change has been conducted are taken as inside fixed characters.) n = 0 (00H): Registered pattern to be made invalid.
