MP-2100 TH Commands

This section contains general information regarding the MP-2100 TH commands.

The MP-2100 TH printer has a series of programming commands that may be used in the remote mode. Two types of commands can be sent:

Direct Command

In this mode, a simple ASCII code is enough to command the printer. For example:

ASCII Code:

Decimal:10

Hexadecimal: 0A

This command causes the printer to perform a line feed.

Control Sequence

In this mode, more than one code may be sent to command or program the printer. This “control sequence” always starts with the ASCII code “ESC” or “GS”. For example:

ASCII Code:

ESC

Decimal:27 87 01

Hexadecimal: 1B 57 01

This command switches the printing mode to “expanded”.

Following is a summary of commands accepted by the MP-2100 TH printer.

Using The Command Summary

The following section lists and describes all resident MP-2100 TH commands including command parameters. The command syntax is as follows:

•ESC P is a command without parameters;

•ESC Q n is a command with one parameter only;

•ESC K n1 n2 is a command with two parameters;

•ESC D *! n1n2 b1...bn is a command with a variable number of parameters.

Some commands may be redundant. This is done to maintain compatibility with old command settings or different types of customized command settings.
