VERSAJET Introduction Programming Reference Thank you for choosing Cino VersaJet Mobile Printer. The VersaJet mobile printer is designed with rugged yet lightweight architecture, delivering the ultimate convenience of mobility to meet your on-demand labels and receipts printing requirements. Besides RS232 communication interfaces, the VersaJet is compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled devices by incorporating Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology.
PAGE 11
VERSAJET Communication Session Programming Reference Initially, RS232, USB, Bluetooth, IRDA and Wi-Fi interfaces are all enabled by default. You can enable your desired one or more interfaces by using US ` SOH. However, the data transmission can only be processed through one of them at a time.
PAGE 12
VERSAJET JCL Command Sets Programming Reference ESC/POS (Epson Standard Code for Point of Sales) is one of the most world-popular command sets, which was designed to provide the expandability and universal applicability demanded by the market. The JCL (Job Control Language) is the proprietary printer language of Cino mobile printer supporting ESC/POS emulation. This not only shortens user’s learning cycle, but also minimizes the system integration efforts.

VERSAJET Command Overview Programming Reference This chapter covers following topics to present the supported commands that are used with VersaJet: Command Notation Explanations of Terms Supported Commands 11
PAGE 21
VERSAJET Programming Reference Command Notation [Name] The name of the command. [Format] The code sequence. [Range] Gives the allowable ranges for the arguments. [Default] Gives the default values, if any, for the command parameters. [Description] Describes the command’s function. [Notes] Provides important information on setting and using the printer command, if necessary. Hex indicates the hexadecimal equivalents. Decimal indicates the decimal equivalents.
PAGE 22
VERSAJET Explanation of Terms Programming Reference (1) Receive buffer The receive buffer is a buffer that stores, as is, the data received from the host (the reception data). The reception data is stored in the receive buffer temporarily, and is then processed sequentially. (2) Print buffer The print buffer is a buffer that stores the image data to be printed. (3) Print buffer full This is the state where the print buffer is full.
PAGE 23
VERSAJET Programming Reference (5) Printable area The maximum range within which printing is possible under the printer specifications. The printable area for this printer is as follows: The length of the horizontal direction in standard mode: approximately 48 mm {1.89 “} The length of the vertical direction in page mode: approximately 320 mm {12.6“} (6) Printing area Printing range is set by the command. It must be printing area ≤ printable area.
PAGE 24
VERSAJET Programming Reference (9) LSB Least Significant Bit (10) MBCS Multi-Byte character set (MBCS) are an alternative to Unicode for supporting character sets, like Japanese and Chinese that cannot be represented in a single byte. For example: BIG5, GB2312, Shift JIS are MBCS, they use double bytes to represent one character. (11) Base line Standard position when character data is stored in the print buffer.

VERSAJET Programming Reference If [horizontal logical origin + printing area width] exceeds the printable area, the printing area width is automatically set to [horizontal printable area – horizontal logical origin]. If [vertical logical origin + printing area height] exceeds the printable area, the printing area height is automatically set to [vertical printable area – vertical logical origin]. The printing area and the logical origin set by this command are effective only in page mode.

VERSAJET Programming Reference [Notes] When both double-height and double-width modes are selected (including right- and left-side character spacing), quadruple size characters are printed. The printer can underline all characters (including right – and left –side character spacing), but cannot underline the space set by HT or 90° clockwise-rotated characters. The thickness of the underline is that selected by FS -, regardless of the character size.

PAGE 89
VERSAJET Programming Reference In page mode, the horizontal or vertical motion unit differs in page mode, depending on starting position of the printable area as follows: When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the printable area using ESC T, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used. When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the printable area using ESC T, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.

VERSAJET Programming Reference [Notes] NV bit image means a bit image which is defined in a non-volatile memory. The NV bit image defined is effective until the next NV bit image is defined. In standard mode, this command is effective only when processed at the beginning of the line. k bytes data of d1...dk is processed as a defined data of a NV bit image. The defined data (d) specifies a bit printed to 1 and not printed to 0. All NV bit images previously defined are canceled.
PAGE 94
VERSAJET Programming Reference Data is written to the non-volatile memory by this command. Note the following when using this command. The printer is BUSY when writing the data to the non-volatile memory. In this case, be sure not to transmit data from the host because the printer does not receive data. Excessive use of this function may destroy the non-volatile memory. As a guideline, do not use any this command more than 10 times per day for writing data to the non-volatile memory.
