(*1)”Horizontal size” and “vertical size” indicate the number of dots of the symbol.
(*2)”Other information” indicates whether printing of the data in the symbol storage area is possible or
impossible. The “Other information“ is the following.
<Other information>
■The decimal value of the vertical size and horizontal size is converted to text data and sent starting from
the high order end.
(ex: When horizontal size is 120 dots, horizontal size is “120” (in hexadecimal: 31H, 32H, and 30H / in
decimal: 49, 50, and 48 ) which is 3 bytes of data.)
■Size information indicates size of symbol that is printed by Function 081.
■The quiet zone is not included in the size information.
■If “other information” is “Printing is impossible“(in decimal: 49), use one of the following solutions:
Hex Decimal Condition
30H 48 Printing is possible
31H 49 Printing is impossible
Cause Solution
There are data in the print buffer
in the standard mode
Put the printer in the state “there is no data in the
print buffer” by executing GS T or print commands
(LF, CR, ESC J).
Symbol is bigger than the current
print area.
Expand the print area by GS W, ESC W, ESC $.
Reduce the module width by Function 067.
Reduce the module height by Function 068.
Lower the error correction level by Function 069.
