Unit 1: Introduction ABOUT THIS MANUAL This manual is laid out consistent with the product discussed and provides all of the information required for printer programming. This manual also incorporates the use of special information boxes. Examples of these boxes and the type of information provided in each, are below.
Page 15: Print Area Calculation
Unit 1: Introduction PRINT AREA CALCULATION Many print applications may not require labels that fill the entire printable area of the printer. Therefore it is important to understand how to calculate print size so that the printed image does not exceed the label size. There are two axis to consider when calculating for print position;...

Page 18: Programming Language
A programming language for a printer is a familiar concept to most programmers. It is a group of commands that are designed to use the internal intelligence of the printer. The commands, which are referred to as SATO Command Codes, contain non-printable ASCII characters (such as <STX>, <ETX>, <ESC>) and printable characters.
Page 19: Selecting Protocol Codes
Unit 2: Programming Concepts SELECTING PROTOCOL CODES Protocol codes are the special control characters that prepare the printer to receive instructions. For example, the <ESC> character tells the printer that a command code will follow and the <ENQ> character asks for the printer status.
Page 20: Using Basic
Sends an “<ESC>A” command code to the LPT1 parallel port 40 LPRINT E$;"H400";E$;"V100";E$;"XL1SATO"; Sends the data “SATO” to be to be placed 400 dots horizontally and 100 dots vertically on the label and printed in the “XL” font. 50 LPRINT E$;"Q1";...
Page 21 Sends an “<ESC>A” command code to Print Port #1 opened by statement 20 above. 60 PRINT#1, E$; "H400"; E$; "V100"; Sends the data “SATO” to be placed 400 dots horizontally "XL1SATO" and 100 dots vertically on the label and printed in the“XL”...
Page 22: Print Position Commands
Unit 2: Programming Concepts PRINT POSITION COMMANDS There are three methods using command codes to properly orient print images on a label. They are as follows: MEDIA SIZE COMMAND The Media Size Command (<ESC>A1) allows specification of the label width and length so the printer may autmatically adjust itself relative to the command entry.
Page 23 Base Reference Point command description. EXAMPLE: <ESC>A <ESC>H0050<ESC>V0100<ESC>L0303<ESC>XMSATO <ESC>H0050<ESC>V0200<ESC>B103100*SATO* <ESC>H0070<ESC>V0310<ESC>L0101<ESC>XUSATO <ESC>Q1<ESC>Z If using a 2 inch wide label, the entire image may not appear on the label. By adding the following Base Reference Point command to the second line of the data stream, the base reference point will be changed, causing the image to shift toward the inside of the printer where it can be printed on the narrower label.

Page 220: Receive Buffer
Unit 6: Bi-Directional Communications INTRODUCTION Bi-Directional communications is a two-way communications protocol between the host and the printer enabling the host to monitor and control the printer’s operational status. The Bi-Com 5 protocol only works in the Multi-Job Buffer mode. GENERAL CONFIGURATION Refer to Appendix: Reference Table 40 for printer configuration commands.
Page 221: Enquire & Response
Unit 6: Bi-Directional Communications ENQUIRE & RESPONSE ENQUIRE (ENQ) Upon receipt of an ENQ command, the printer responds with status information bounded by an STX/ETX pair. The status information is defined as follows: <STX>{ # Byte ID }{ # Status Byte }{ # Byte Label Remaining }{ # Byte Job Name }<ETX> Identifies the current print job ID.
Page 222: Obtain History Data (Lw)
Unit 6: Bi-Directional Communications OBTAIN HISTORY DATA (LW) This command enables the printer to send 500-items at a time of CR/LF history data to the host. Avoid any transmission to the printer while history data is being sent to the host. Also avoid the inclusion and use of this command in the print data.

Unit 7: Appendix CUSTOM PROTOCOL CODES This chapter contains information on creating custom Protocol Command Codes. The Protocol Command Codes tell the printer that a specific type of information is being transmitted to it. As an example, the Standard Protocol Command Code specifies the use of an <ESC>character to tell the printer that the following character(s) will represent a specific command.
