2) Reverse feed commands are disabled.
In page mode, data can be written freely in the specified printing area. Therefore, the following
commands which feeds paper in reverse direction is disabled:
ESC K, and ESC e
3) Up-side down printing mode has no effect in page mode.
In page mode, characters and bit images can be rotated in increments of 90°, and also printing is
available any of four directions. Therefore, the ESC { command which turns on or off up-side down
printing mode has no effect in page mode.
4) Double-strike printing cannot be performed.
In page mode, data written twice to the same area is logically OR'ed before printing. Therefore,
double-strike mode cannot be used to emphasize characters.
5) Underline mode has no effect in page mode.
In page mode, because characters and bit images can be overlapped, underline by ESC ! is not
drawn. But it becomes effective when printer returns to standard mode. In this case, bit images can be
used, instead of underline mode. (Broken line, wavy line, etc. are also available.)
3.9.3 Setting values in standard and page modes
1) The values set by commands are common to both standard and page modes. However, values are
set independently in each mode for ESC SP, ESC 2, and ESC 3.
2) Although the maximum number of printable dots for a bit image is 210 in standard mode, 480 bit-
image dots can be printed in the y direction (paper feeding direction) in page mode. This is possible
only when 480 printable-area dots in the y direction have been specified using ESC W, and the
printing direction value n in the ESC T command is 1 or 3).
3.9.4 Development of print data in the printing area
Development of print data in the printing area is performed as follows:
À The printing area is set using ESC W. When all printing and feeding are complete before the printer
receives the ESC W command, the left side as you face the printer is taken as the origin (x0, y0) of
the printing area. The printing rectangular area is defined by the length (dx dots) extending from
and including the origin (x0, y0) in the x direction (perpendicular to the paper feed direction), and by
the length (dy dots) in the y direction (paper feed direction).
When the printer receives print data after ESC W sets the printing area and ESC T sets the printing
direction, the print data is developed within the printing area so that the highest dot of the print data is
at the beginning of the printing area. (See the ESC * * * * command description in Section 6.2 and
Appendix F)
Since print data containing double-height and quadruple-size characters is developed so that only the
lower 7 dots of these characters are included in the printing area, execute a line feed (LF) before the
print data to allow the remaining higher dots to be printed.
