Introduction The Datamax-O’Neil Quick Reference Programming Guide is a reference guide for DatamaxO’Neil printers. This programming guide documents the functions and features of the printer's programming language. Note: The commands documented in this programming guide are available based upon which version of firmware is installed on your printer and which printer you are using. To determine which version of the firmware you are using, print a selftest.

Using Line Printer Mode Overview Line printer mode is the simplest protocol supported by the Datamax-O’Neil thermal printers. Using Line Printer mode, you can send a line of text as a sequence of characters to the printer followed by a carriage return (0x0D), and/or a line feed (0x0A), or a form feed (0x0C) and the printer prints that line of text.

Used to print user-generated bitmap graphics across the width of the printhead. After receipt of this command, the printer dumps the binary data directly to the printhead.
Datamax-O’Neil Quick Reference Programming Using Line Printer Mode Esc B, ESC E Accept Compressed Graphics Format ESC B ESC E Dec 27 66 27 69 Hex 1B 42 1B 45 Function Accepts compressed graphics. The printer decompresses and prints the graphic. Each compressed dotline (using a run-length encoding scheme) is preceded by an uppercase G. Each uncompressed dotline is preceded by an uppercase U.
Datamax-O’Neil Quick Reference Programming Using Line Printer Mode FF Form Feed Format FF Dec 12 Hex 0C Function Prints the current line, then advances the paper to top of form (TOF). LF Line Feed Format LF Dec 10 Hex 0A Function Prints the current line and advances the paper. CR Carriage Return Format CR Dec 13 Hex 0D Function Prints the current line and advances the paper to top of form (TOF). The CR command is similar to LF — both commands are provided for your convenience.
Datamax-O’Neil Quick Reference Programming Using Line Printer Mode Note: Use the following Easy Print command to return to Line Printer mode while in Easy Print mode. {LP} is not a Line Printer command. If you mistakenly use {LP} while in Line Printer mode, {LP} prints on your receipt or label. Format: {LP} ESC Hn Heighten Font n Times Format ESC Hn Dec 27 72 n Hex 1B 48 n Function Multiplies the height of the font by n. Must apply to the entire line.
Datamax-O’Neil Quick Reference Programming Using Line Printer Mode ESC EZ Go to Easy Print Mode Format ESC EZ Dec 27 69 90 Hex 1B 45 5A Function Puts the printer in Easy Print Mode. You must use uppercase letters EZ. To turn ON MPCL, send the configuration request in Easy Print {CL:EMM1} followed by {COMMIT}. To turn ON this new extended CPCL, send the configuration request in Easy Print {CL:EMZ4} followed by {COMMIT}. ESC D n Format ESC D n Function Increases the darkness.
Using Easy Print Mode Overview The Easy Print protocol is much more than just a printing protocol. In its most basic form, Easy Print mode allows the user to send and execute commands. As part of the command execution, the printer may return data to the host. In addition to printing, commands also allow paper motion, configuring, and control of peripherals such as the magnetic and smart card readers.
Datamax-O’Neil Quick Reference Programming Using Easy Print Mode You can use Easy Print mode to design custom receipts, tickets, or reports with borders, lines, stored graphics, logos, bar codes, and text. For example, you can create a receipt with your company logo at the top, an identifying bar code in the middle, and a signature line at the bottom. Easy Print mode also allows you to use stored graphics, thus increasing your print speed.
