12. COMMAND DESCRIPTION 12.1 Horizontal Control 1) Carriage return—execute (a) Code: CR (b) Compatibility: EPS FX/IBM III/ML (c) Function: Initiate printing action; print data in the print buffer by causing a print block change and set the next printable data’s print position to the left margin. (d) Additional details: • If Auto-LF is activated, a CR will also cause a LF to execute. This action will take place if there is, or if there is not data in the print buffer.
PAGE 44
(d) Details • If a multipass character (ex. double height characters) is in the print buffer, when BS is executed, the paper is reverse feed back to the original printing position of the multipass character, and the character is printed. (Precise printing position is not guaranteed). • If no “printable” data (including “space) has been previously received by the printer, the BS is ignored.
PAGE 45
(e) Out of Range: This command will be ignored if n equals any other values except for the values mentioned above. (f) Additional details: • Short-Line-Seeking is performed in both unidirectional and bidirectional print modes. • When the first thermal threshold of the printhead is sensed, the printer automatically enters unidirectional printing mode.
PAGE 46
(e) Out of range: Any position specified beyond the right margin is ignored. (f) Additional details: • Dot position = (n1 + n2*256)/60 to the right of the left margin. • The position specified as n 1 = n2 = 0 is the left margin. • Physical Upper Limit... Wide chassis ... (n1 + n2*256)/60" < = 13.6 (inches) narrow chassis ... (n1 + n2*256)/ 60" < = 8.0 (inches) • Logical Upper Limit ... • Absolute Position < = Right Margin • No underlines are made in the print line area skipped by the positioning.
PAGE 47
(c) Function: Moves the next print position by a number of dot columns (specified by n1n2n3n4) to the right from the current print position. (d) Variable range: n1 n2 (e) ASCII Decimal Hexadecimal 0 – 9 0 – 9 48 – 57 48 – 57 30H – 39H 30H – 39H n3 0 – 9 48 – 57 30H – 39H n4 0 – 9 48 – 57 30H – 39H Out of range: • If the code for n1n2n3n4 is other than the above, this command is ignored.
PAGE 48
(g) Additional details: • Number n1n2n3n4 is a 4-digit decimal number. Since all digits must be defined, any number that does not use all digits must be padded with leading zeros. EXAMPLE: 25 → 0025 • If n1n2n3n4 = 0000 is specified, this command is ignored and the printer maintains the current print position. • No underlines are printed in the print line areas skipped by this command. • When the printer receives a valid n1n2n3n4 number, it prints out the data stored in the printer buffer.
PAGE 49
(d) Range: • The number n1 is the low byte and n2 is the high byte in the dot position setting code. • The number n1n2 is a decimal number between 0 and 255 (if n1 = n2 = 0 is specified, the printer maintains the current position). • Limit FC40H < = n1 + n2×256 < = 03C0H (ML3320) < F9A0H = n1 + n2×256 < = 0660H (ML3321) (e) Out of range: • The printer ignores this command if the command attempts to set a print position exceeding the left/right margin.
PAGE 50
(e) Out of range: • The printer ignores this command if the command attempts to set a print position exceeding the left/right margin. (f) Additional details: • When the print head moves toward the left margin (reverse) from the current print position, the printer prints out the data stored in the printer buffer. Scores can be added when print head movement toward the right margin (forward) from the current print position is specified while the score mode is set.
PAGE 51
• This command is disregarded while nk-1 ≤ nk or character. A maximum of 32 tab stops can be set. the 29th value of n, this command is disregarded null character. Tab positions set up to the 28th n the printer encounters a null If there is no null character at until the printer encounters a value are enabled. (IBM) Example: If ESC D n1 n2 n4 n3 NUL, n1 < n2 < n3 < n4 → valid n1 – n4.

(f) Logical limitations: XmYmZm represents a 3 digit number where each consecutive XmYmZm number must be greater than the previous one or else Xm Ym Zm is ignored.
PAGE 53
(c) Function: Clear all previously defined H-tabs and define up to 16 new horizontal tab stop positions from the left-most physical print position in units of dot columns. (d) Range: • Variables ASCII Decimal Hexadecimal X1 0 – 9 48 – 57 30 – 39 Y1 Z1 0 – 9 0 – 9 48 – 57 48 – 57 30 – 39 30 – 39 W1 0 – 9 48 – 57 30 – 39 m (number of tabs) = 0–16 • Argument “x1y1z1w1” 10 cpi wide chassis narrow chassis (e) 12 cpi 17.
PAGE 54
21) Horizontal tab—execute (a) Code: HT (b) Compatibility: ML (c) Function: Advance from the current print position to the next Horizontal Tab position. (d) Logical limitations: • An HT can not be executed beyond the right margin. (e) Details: • HT execution will cause an advance to the next tab stop position defined by the “H-TAB by characters” or “H-TAB by columns” definition commands; which ever HT command was most recently defined.
PAGE 55
• The left margin will remain at value set unless reset by some software code or the printer is turned off. • Input of the ESC/ code with a valid left margin parameter causes the horizontal TAB positions previously set to be cleared, and the subsequent horizontal TAB will default to every 8 character positions starting with the new left margin as position 0. • There must be a difference of at least 25 character between the left margin and right margin values for 10 CPI.
PAGE 56
(d) Range: 1< = n1 < = 255 2< = n2 < = 255 • The ranges for n1 and n2 are n1< n2 (e) Out of range: • If n1 or n2 = 0 then the current margin setting is used. • If n2 exceeds the default range n2 shall be converted to the default value. 10CPI 12CPI 15CPI 17.1CPI 20CPI 136 164 204 234 255 80 96 120 138 160 Wide Column Narrow Column (f) Additional details: • The default value of the left margin is the 1st character. • The margin’s positions are absolute.
PAGE 57
• n =3 Full justification puts extra spaces where necessary so that both the left and right margins are aligned. • Full justification (n = 3) is performed when the printer receives (at the time when printing starts) data exceeding 75% of the maximum number of characters to be printed in a line. • Print position will be affected by the commands which set the left/right margin. • This command causes a print block change.
