SETTING COMMAND

[Description]

[Notes]

Turns parallel printing mode for receipt and journal on or off. When parallel printing mode is turned on, the printer prints the same data on both receipt and journal paper.

When the Least Significant Bit (LSB) of n is 0, turns off parallel printing mode

When the LSB of n is 1, turns on parallel printing mode

Only the lowest bit of n is enabled.

This command is enabled only when input at the beginning of a line.

This command affects printing only when both print sources—journal and receipt—are selected for printing.

When the parallel printing mode is turned off, the printing area can be developed for receipt and journal. The first column in the print buffer is printed on the receipt. The print starting position moves to the first column of the journal in the following case.

When RS is executed

When buffer full is processed at the end of the printing area on the receipt

(The data that causes the buffer full is printed on the first column of the journal)
