COMMANDS
ASCII ESC @
Hex 1Bh + 40h
Description Reinitializes the printer
When this command is received, the printer resets and all default parameters are
restored. Equivalent to turning the machine off and then on again.
ASCII ESC *
Hex 1Bh + 2Ah + m + n1 + n2 + data
Description Prints in image mode
Prints a line in image mode. After this command has been received, the machine waits
for the reception of (n2*256)+n1 bytes. The maximum number of dots per line is 210.
A line printed in image mode is 8 dots high. Parameter <m> is a byte included for
eventual future expansion which is not used and can therefore have any value.
Example:
To print a solid line 8 dots high and 210 dots long
<1Bh> <2Ah> <00h> <D2h> <00h> (210 * <FFh>)
ASCII ESC K
Hex 1Bh + 4Bh + n1 + n2 + n3 + n4 + n5 + data
Description Prints a graphic image
This command allows for the printing in image mode of a graphic ((n4*256)+ n3) wide,
n5 lines high and with a border offset of ((n2*256)+n1) dots. The number of dots per
line is 210 and anything over this amount is read but not displayed. Therefore, it is
important to make sure that the margin offset plus line length does not exceed the
maximum allowed.
Example:
To print a square 80*80 dots, 100 dots from the border
<1Bh> <4Bh> <00h><64h> <00h><50h> <0Ah> (800 * <FFh>)
dots offset 80 dots 80/8 data bytes
ASCII ESC r
Hex 1Bh + 72h + n
Description Sets print color ( only in the two-color model )
When this command is received, the ribbon color changes.
The color is determined by n:
length height (len * ht)/8
n = 0 Black
n = 1 Red
