Print zones for 82.5mm paper

Specifications of print zone for 82.5 mm paper:

•640 dots (addressable) @ 8 dots/mm, centered on 82.5mm

•Standard mode: minimum margins: 1.0mm (0.040 inches)

•Top margin to manual tear-off: 17.8mm (0.70 inches)

•Top margin to knife cut: 19.0mm (0.75 inches)

Rotated printing commands

Three commands control the rotation of printing. The table shows the combinations of set/cancel upside down print, set/ cancel rotated print (clockwise), and rotated print (counterclockwise).

Rotated clockwise and rotated counterclockwise print commands are mutually exclusive: the setting of the last received command is effective. Unintended consequences may result when rotated clockwise is mixed with other commands.

The samples of the print show only the normal-size characters. Double-wide and double-high characters are printed in the same orientation. They may also be mixed on the same line.

Upside down	Rotated CW	Rotated CCW
(1B 7B n)	(1B 56 n)	(1B 12)
Canceled	Canceled	Cleared
Canceled	Set	X
Set	Canceled	X
