7167 Owner's Manual
If the Set Horizontal and Vertical Minimum Motion Units command (1D 50) is used to
change the horizontal and vertical minimum motion unit, the parameters of this command
(Set Relative Print Position) will be interpreted accordingly. For more information, see the
description of the Set Horizontal and Vertical Minimum Motion Units command (1D 50)
in this document.
Compatibility Information (7167 receipt vs. 7156 receipt)
There is a difference in the normal behavior of this command in 7158 Native Mode/7167
Native Mode as compared to the original 7156. The difference exists when the command is
used to move to the left. The 7156 processes the whole print string prior to putting it in the
buffer for the print head. This method of processing allows the 7156 to backup in the print
string and replace characters and their associated attributes when a "Set Relative Print
Position" command instructs the printer to move the print position to the left.
In order to improve the speed of printing, the 7167 moves the data into a buffer for the
print head when it receives it. When the "Set Relative Print Position" command contains a
move to the left, this causes the new data to overstrike the previous data. This behavior
can be used to an application's advantage to provide the ability to create compound
characters on the receipt station.
