1. Overview 1.1 Key Terms Real-time commands: These commands are acted on immediately upon being received by the printer. Page mode: Under this mode, the printer stores all data in storage and thinks it as a virtual page.The printer doesn’t print the page until it receives commands FF or ESC FF. Standard mode: Standard mode is the default mode of printer,namely line mode.Under this mode,the printer prints data and feeds paper when printer line buffer is full,namely data is... -

2. Commands [Name] Horizontal tab [Format] ASCII Decimal Moves the print position to the next horizontal tab position. [Description] This command is ignored unless the next horizontal tab position has been set. [Notes] If the next horizontal tab position exceeds the printing area, the printer sets the printing position to [printing area width + 1]. -
Page 6: Esc ! N
[Notes] When characters are enlarged, the character spacing is n times normal value. This command sets values independently in each mode (standard and page modes). ESC ! n Select print mode(s).

blank space set by HT. When underline mode is on, 90°clock wise rotated characters and characters and white / black reverse characters cannot be underline. When underline mode is off, there is no underline for following characters. Underline width stays the same, default width: one dot width. Character size change has no effects on underline width. -
Page 10: Esc E N
n specifies the column number for setting a horizontal tab position from the beginning of the line. k indicates the total number of horizontal tab positions to be set. [Notes] The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width × n] measured from the beginning of the line. -
Page 11: Esc J N
ESC J n [Name] Print and feed paper. [Format] ASCII Decimal [Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 255 [Description] Prints the data in the print buffer and feeds the paper [n × 0.125 mm (0.0049”)]. [Notes] After printing is completed, this command sets the print starting position to the beginning of the line. -
Page 12: Esc S
ESC S [Name] Select standard mode. [Format] ASCII Decimal [Description] Switches from page mode to standard mode. [Notes] This command is effective only in page mode. Data buffered in page mode is cleared. This command sets the print position to the beginning of the line. The area of page mode is intialized as default value. -
Page 13: Esc D N
Decimal [Range] 0 ≤ n ≤ 2, 48 ≤ n ≤ 50 [Description] Aligns all the data in one line to the specified position. n selects the justification as follows: Justification 0,48 Left justification 1,49 Centering 2,50 Right justification [Notes] The command is enabled only when processed at the beginning of the line in standard mode. -

Page 36: Appendix B:print Mode And Its Transformation
APPENDIX B:Print mode and its transformation B.1 General Description The printer operates in two print modes: standard mode and page mode. In standard mode, the printer prints and feeds paper each time it receives print data or paper feed commands. In page mode, all the received print data and paper feed commands are proce ssed in the specified memory, and the printer executes no operation. - Page 37 direction. If print data for the next line contains extended characters that are higher than double- height characters, bit images taking up two or more lines, or bar codes higher than normal characters, the amount of line feeding may be insufficient, resulting in overlapping of the characters' higher-order dots with the previous line.
