Paper roll Bit-image commands GS Q 0
Ver. 10.0 1 p. 289
[Recommended Functions]
This command is supported only by some printer models and may not be supported by future models.
It is recommended to use graphics function (GS ( L GS 8 L: <Function 50> and <Function 113>). The
graphics functions are better than GS Q 0 for the following reasons:
• Selecting a color for printing is possible.
• Selecting a size in dot units is possible.
[Notes] ■In standard mode, this command is effective only when data is not in the print buffer and the printer is at
the beginning of the line.
■This command processes
k
bytes data of
d1...dk
as a bit image data. Image data (
d) specifies a bit printed
to 1 and not printed to 0.
■If a variable vertical bit image that exceeds the print area for a line is specified, the excess image data is
ignored.
■The scales for width and height of NV bit images are specified by
m
. Therefore, in page mode with 90° or
270° clockwise-rotated NV bit image, the printer applies print area and dot density from [width: direction
of paper feed, height: perpendicular to direction of paper feed].
■Character size and all print modes such as emphasize, underline, 90° clockwise rotation, or upside-down,
do not affect printing of a variable vertical size bit image data.
■This command feeds paper for the amount needed for printing a variable vertical bit image regardless of
the paper feed setting set by paper feed setting commands.
■Do not use this command during macro execution because the command cannot be included in a macro.
■After printing a variable vertical bit-image, normal data processing is started.
The print position is set to the left of the print area. The printer is at the beginning of a line and data is not
in the print buffer.
