Emulation Command Set Reference
2.1.59
ESC+[F0]+[01]+[n]+[d0]+[dn]
[Name]
Sets target print speed
[Function]
This extended command sets the target printing speed.
[Code]
[1B]
[27]
[Description]
1.
The "ESC [F0]+[01]+[n]+[d0]+[dn]" command sets the target printing speed in mm/sec.
2.
Print speed may be lower depending upon other settings (dot history, multi-strobe, etc.), available
voltage, etc.
3.
The end-of-page command should precede the printing speed command to ensure that all data in
the print buffer is flushed before the print speed change becomes effective.
4.
When the same printing speed as the current printing speed is specified with this command, no
change occurs.
5.
Parameter [n] defines the number of bytes that will contain the target print speed. Permissible
values for [n] are "1" and "2". A value of n = "1" may be used for print speeds up to 255 mm/sec.
A value of n = "2" may be used for print speeds from 60 mm/sec up to 350 mm/sec.
6.
Parameters [d0] and [dn] define the target printing speed in mm/s.
If [n] = "1", then only [dn] should be sent. If [n] = "1", the range for parameter [dn] is [60]
10
[250]
.
If [n] = "2", both [d0] and [dn] must be sent. Note that [d0] is the MSB and [dn] is the LSB. If [n] =
"2", the range for parameter [d0] is "0" to "1". The range for parameter [dn] is [0]
Please note that if [n] = "2", any print speed from 60 mm/sec to 350 mm/sec may be sent by
setting [d0] = "0" for values under 256 mm/sec.
7.
Printers designed for 24 VDC operation can have a maximum print speed of 350 mm/sec;
however, if the printer has been purchased with a maximum print speed of 130 mm/s, values of
[n] over 130 mm/s will result in a maximum print speed of 130 mm/s. Printers designed for 12
VDC or 10-36 VDC operation cannot print faster than 130 mm/sec regardless of this setting.
8.
The default printing speed is 130 mm/sec.
9.
Note that there may be some print quality degradation at print speeds over 250 mm/sec.
10. Examples:
For 250 mm/sec, send [1B] [F0] [01] [01] [FA] or [1B] [F0] [01] [02] [00] [FA].
For 350 mm/sec, send [1B] [F0] [01] [02] [01] [5E].
