8. PRINT CONTROL FUNCTION 8.
8.2 Control Code Details (1) Command for Line Feed After Printing (CR/LF) By entering CR (0DH)/LF (0AH) codes, data in the print buffer is printed followed by a line feed. Without data in the print buffer, only a line feed is performed. This command is ignored just after buffer full in case of 910 emulation. CR and LF are valid in the following conditions.
2. Laterally enlarged letter assignment (SO/RS) command: With SO (0EH)/RS (1EH) codes input in any columns, the data following are printed in prints enlarged double in width. Although standard and enlarged letters can be mixed within one line, automatic (buffer-full) printing takes place when the number of columns reaches 24 (or 40) counted in standard letters. With 910 emulation, laterally enlarged letter assignment is cleared by printing after line feed, followed by SI, US, and DC1.
(4) Inverted Letter Assignment (DC2) Command When data are input with DC2 (12H) attached at the beginning of a line (invalid when attached to any other place), data following are all printed in inverted letters. To cancel this, input either DC2 again or DC1 (initial setting.) (5) Initial Setting (DC1) Command With DC1 (11H) input, various conditions set after power supply are cancelled and the state as at supply of power is restored. Content of the input buffer, however, is held unchanged.
(7) Continuous Paper Feed Assignment (ESC + “B” + n) Command With ESC (1BH) +“B” (42H) + n code input, continuous paper feed at n-dot line is executed. However, n allows continuous paper feed to be executed at even-numbered dot line in the range of 4 ≤ n ≤ 255. If n is specified otherwise, this command is cancelled. When this command is entered, print data, if any, in the input buffer is printed.
(10) Sentence Registration (ESC + “/” + n) Command With input of ESC (1BH) + “/” (2FH) + n + ‘registered sentence’ code, 24 (40)-bytes data following n are registered. Set a numeral of 1~8 to n. With any other numeral having been set, data following are regarded as normal printing data, where no registration takes place and printing conducted. Data cannot exceed one line which should be ended with CR (0DH) or LF (0AH).
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 It is pen Is this a pen ? It is a pen (Printed out with ESC + “!” + 1) (12) Character Registration (ESC + “&”) Command 1. For 24-column model (ESC + “&” + A1 + A2) Individual patterns can be registered by entering the code ESC (1BH) + ”&” (26H) + A1 + A2, then entering the pattern data. A maximum of 224 characters can be registered, and any address in the range of 20H to FFH can be used for the registration.
[Method of data transmission] d-1) Single character registration Select the address to be defined (character code) from among 20H to FFH and designate is as A1. When registering a single character, starting and ending addresses match each other. That is, A1=A2. A 6 × 6 dot matrix full dot pattern is to be registered in address 41H (code for the fixed character “A”. (Numerals are hexadecimal.
2. For 40-column model In 910 emulation (ESC + “&” + C1 + A1 + A2) In 3110 emulation (ESC + “&” + A1 + A2) With ESC (1BH) + ”&” (26H) + {C1} + A1 + A2 code and the pattern data following input, a pattern is registered. Only 910 emulation for { }. Total 224 characters are available for registration into addresses of 20H~FFH. When two pattern data have registered in the same address, those initially registered are cleared and the new data alone are made valid.
In 3110 emulation 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 0 3 4 5 6 * * * * * * 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 41H 22H 55H 08H 41H 00H 41H As this printer takes half-dot printing system, dots cannot be aligned continuously in printing (horizontal) direction. Therefore, even if any pattern is specified at point “*” at the right of point “●” above, it cannot be registered as a pattern. Configuring a double width character by registering the data for 2 characters is also possible.
(13) Registered Letter Valid/Invalid (ESC + “%” + n) Command Whether a registered pattern is valid or invalid is set with ESC (1BH) + ”%” (25H) + n code being input. n = 1 (01H): Registered pattern to be made valid. (Addresses for which no registration change has been conducted are taken as inside fixed characters.) n = 0 (00H): Registered pattern to be made invalid. (Taken as inside fixed character sets.
(14) Bit Image Printing (ESC +“K”+ n1 + n2 + n3) Command With ESC (1BH) + K (4BH) + n1 + n2 + n3 code being input, conversion from Text mode into Bit Image mode takes place. The n1/n2/n3 assigns amount of transmission of bit image data which follows these. Where, n1 represents the no. of bytes in lateral direction and n2 (lowermost)/n3 (uppermost) represent the no. of dot lines in vertical direction. (Relations between data and print-out) n1 1 byte D8 n3 × 256 + n2 No.
(15) ×4 Enlarged Letter Assignment (FS + “W” + 1) Command FS (1CH) + “W” (57H) + 1 (01H) code input, ×4 enlarged letters are assigned. Data following this code are printed vertically and laterally twice enlarged. (16) ×4 Enlargement Cancel (FS + “W” + 0) Command With FS (1CH) + “W” (57H) + 0 (00H) code being input, ×4 enlargement assignment is cancelled.
(18) Change Memory Switch (ESC + “)” + 55 (H) + n1 + n2 + AA(H)) Entering this code allows the contents of the memory switch shown in the table below to be changed. When the printer receives this code, it enters the BUSY mode. After writing to memory switch, reset is carried out and the receive buffer/ print buffer is cleared and the initial value is restored and then the contents of the memory switch is reloaded. n1 0 Function Select international character set 1 Select code page.
