This command encodes and prints the DataMatrix symbol data stored in the symbol storage area.
Notes
Use this command when the printer is at the beginning of a line, or there is no data in the print buffer.
If the symbol size exceeds the print area, the printer feeds the paper as much as the symbol's height, without printing the
symbol.
The quiet zone (the space at the top, bottom, right, and left of the symbols, which is specified by the DataMatrix standard)
is not included in the printing data. Be sure to include the quiet zone when using this function.
If there is any of the errors described below in the data of the symbol storage area, the barcode will not be printed.
• There is no data.
• When there is a problem with the amount of data saved in the symbol storage area.
• When the data saved in the symbol storage area includes data outside the domain.
Printing of symbol is not affected by print mode (emphasized, double-strike, underline, or font size), except for upside-
down print mode.
The following functions are not supported:
Structured Append Symbols
Macro Character
Reader Programming Character
ECI: Extended Channel Interpretation
Error correction version is ECC 200. Versions ECC 000 – 140 cannot be used.
For ECC 200, the Reed-Solomon Error Detection and Correction algorithm is used for the error correction codewords.
In the Reed-Solomon Error Detection and Correction algorithm, the error correction level (%) is automatically
determined based on the symbol size.
The data sequence: ESC (Hex = 1BH / Decimal = 27) + "1" (Hex = 31H / Decimal = 49) is encoded to FNC1 character.
The data sequence: ESC + ESC is encoded to ESC.
This command executes paper feeding for the amount needed for printing the symbol, regardless of the paper feed amount
set by the paper feed setting command. After the symbol printing, the print postion is moved to left side of the printable
area. Also, the printer is in the status "beginning of the line".
In Page mode, the printer stores the symbol data in the print buffer without executing actual printing. The printer moves
print position to the next dot of the last data of the symbol.
