(2) Data processing in page mode
1. Setting of the mapping start position
Characters, bit images, and barcodes are mapped based on the mapping start position. Specify the
mapping start position with the "Specify Vertical Absolute Position in Page Mode" command (GS '$')
before sending the printing contents. When mapping characters and bit images, the mapping start
position will be shifted automatically.
2. Mapping of character and image data
• Character
The reference point of a character is lower left. The next mapping start position shifts horizontally
the width of the character (including the right and left spaces).
• Bit image
The reference point of a bit image is lower left. The next mapping start position shifts horizontally
the width of the image.
• Downloaded bit image, NV graphics
The reference point of a downloaded bit image and NV graphics is lower left. The next mapping
start position shifts horizontally the width of the image.
• Graphics data stored in print buffer
The reference point of the graphics data stored in the print buffer is lower left. The next mapping
start position does not shift.
• Barcode
The reference point of a barcode is lower left. The next mapping start position shifts horizontally
the width of the barcode.
• Raster bit image
The reference point of a raster bit image is its upper left. The next mapping start position shifts
horizontally the width of the image.
Operation
Selects the page mode.
Sets the print area.
Specifies the print start point and print
direction.
Maps the data in the set print area.
Prints all data of the page mode
collectively.
Repeats Step 5 [number of reprinting -
1] times.
Returns to standard mode.
Needs to be in standard mode and at
the beginning of the line.
If not set, the maximum print area will
be set.
If not specified,
the print start point will be upper left,
the print direction will be left to right.
The data of the page mode is retained.
To change a part of the print data,
execute Step 2 to Step 5.
