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 920 emulation. CR and LF are valid in the following conditions. Serial SW1 Switch No.1 OFF ON LF only CR and LF Parallel LF only Serial SW2 Switch No.
(3) Data Cancel (CAN) Command With CAN (18H) code input, print data held within the line before input of the CAN code are all cancelled. [Example of print data] SO 123456 CAN [Results of Printing] ABC CR ABC * As data “123456” are cancelled without the command “SO” cancelled, “ABC” is printed in lateral enlargement.
(7) International Character Select (ESC + “R”) Command By entering the code ESC (1BH) + “R” (52H) + n, characters input hereafter are set to the characters for the following countries. With n other than those specified, the set value for the U.S. is assigned. n 0 Country U.S.A. (USA) n 5 Country Sweden (SWE) n 10 Country Denmark 2 (DEM 2) 1 France (FRA) 6 Italy (ITA) 11 Spain 2 (SPN 2) 2 Germany (GER) 7 Spain (SPA) 12 Latin America ( ) 3 U.K. (U.
(9) Sentence Registration (ESC + “/”) Command With input of ESC (1BH) + “/” (2FH) + n + ‘registered’ + CR (0DH) / LF (0AH) 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 is regarded as print data, where no registration takes place and printing conducted. Data cannot exceed one line and must be ended with CR (0DH) or LF (0AH).
(11) Registered Letter Valid/Invalid (ESC + “%”) 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.
[Method of data transmission] 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 CBM-920 emulation (ESC + “&” + C1 + A1 + A2) In iDP3110 emulation (ESC + “&” + A1 + A2) With ESC (1BH) + ”&” (26H) + {C1} + A1 + A2 code and the pattern data following input, a pattern is registered. Only CBM-920 emulation is specified for { }. Up to 224 characters can be registered into addresses from 20H to FFH. When the same pattern data is registered in the same address, data registered before is cleared and the new data becomes valid.
In iDP3110 emulation 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 0 3 4 * 5 6 * 1 7 * * 2 * * 3 * 4 * 5 6 * * * 7 41H 22H 55H 08H 41H 00H 41H As the 40-column model is of half-dot printing system, continuous dots cannot be arranged in the printing direction (lateral direction). Therefore, even if any pattern is specified at point “*” at the right of point “●” above, it cannot be registered as a pattern.
(13) Bit Image Printing (ESC +“K”) 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.
(14) x4 Enlarged Letter Assignment / Cancel (FS + “W”) Command Specifies/clears double-height, double-width character by the entry of FS (1CH) + “W” (57H) + n code. If double-height, double-width character is specified, character data following this code is printed enlarged by 2 times both vertically and horizontally. n= (00H) : Clears double-height, double-width character. n= (01H) : Specifies double-height, double-width character.
2.iDP3110 emulation In order to reduce power consumption when printer is not in operation, two power down modes triggered by the codes DC2 (12H) and DC3 (13H) are available with this printer. When the printer receives DC2 (12H) or DC3 (13H), it enters the power down mode after all data previously received is printed out. To exit the power down mode, re-enter the printer power or apply the “LOW” signal to the RESET terminal for more than 4 ms.
