[Notes] • The difference between upside-down command and ESC { n upside-down printing:
this upside-down printing command can print the note in upside-down mode, while
ESC { n can only print the character line in upside-down mode.
• This command is used at the beginning of the upside-down page. The part behind
the command is to be printed. It cannot be printed out immediately, but it is stored in
the buffer. When the printer receives the command to cut paper (GS V) or to exit
upside-down print mode, the data will be printed out in upside-down mode.
• This command can only be used at the beginning of the line, otherwise it will be
ignored.
• This command should cooperate with paper cutting command or exit upside-down
print command; otherwise it will not be able to finish upside-down print.
• The data to be printed in upside-down mode must be smaller than the size of
command buffer (the capacity of buffer can be checked by printing self-test pages).
For pages larger than the size of command buffer:
a)
b)
c)
• Forbidden commands
The following commands are not supported in upside-down print mode. If sending the
following commands in upside-down print mode, the printer may not perform the
expected result.
Note: Although FS q command is not supported in upside-down print mode, FS p
command is supported. If NV bitmap is to be printed upside down, enter upside-down
print mode by command. Before entering upside-down print mode, first send FS q
command to define NV bitmap. Example is as follows:
1C 71 01 (define NV bitmap, ........stands for bitmap data)
1D 28 7A 02 00 30 53 (enter upside-down mode)
1C 70 01 00 (print the bitmap downloaded in FLASH)
1D 28 7A 02 00 30 45 (print NV bitmap and exit upside-down print mode)
• Perform the command immediately
1D 28 7A nL nH 30 53
nH = 0
Printer ignores print data;
If the printer ends with exiting upside-down print mode, it will enter normal print
mode with no action;
If the printer ends with paper cutting command, the printer will enter normal print
mode after the action of cutting paper.
