8-3 Input Data Formats

The data input to the printer is made by the codes listed in the Character Code Table.

(1) Standard Character Print Mode Designation.

US (1F)

DATA

LF (0A)

The printer goes automatically to the standard character mode immediately after power-on initialization or line feed. Therefore, US code can be omitted. In addition, an automatic line feed is carried out after inputting the data for one line (Full Buffer Print).

The same function as US code is performed by using SI code (except for serial 7 bit data use).

(2) Double-Width Character Print Mode Designation

RS (1E)

DATA

LF (0A)

All print data following RS code are printed out in double-width size and this code can be released by US code. It is possible to mix the characters in normal width and double width on one line. However,

because a double-width character requires twice the normal width, take care not to exceed the column capacity of the printer. When the input data become full to fill one line, the Full Buffer Print and one line feed

will be automatically carried out.

RS code will be automatically cancelled after each line feed. The same function as RS is performed by SO code (except for serial 7 bit data use).

(3) Red Color Print Mode Designation

DC (12)

DATA

LF (0A)

All print data including DC2 are printed in red color and it’s not possible to mix the black and red color characters on one line. This command will be automatically canceled after the line feed.

If DC2 commands are used 2 times on the same line by error, the printer will print out all characters in black color.

(4) Paging Designation and Page Length Designation

ESC (1B)

C (43)

n

Input ESC + “C” (1B 43) at the top of the line and next input n, which are integers.

With this code, the length (number of lines) per page can be set, and paging action is started,

and the space of three lines are left at the both top and bottom of the page, n should be;14 ≤ n ≤ 120

Otherwise, it will be 66. The paging can be released by ESC + “0” (1B,4F).
