(*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 281.
■The quiet zone is not included in the size information.
■If “other information” cannot be printed, use one of the solutions shown below.
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 $ etc.)
When mode 2 or 3 is selected, incorrect
data exists in Primary Message.
Send correct data by Function 280.
The data in the symbol storage area is too
large.
Send correct data by Function 280.
There is no data in the symbol storage
area.
Send data to the symbol storage area by Function 280.
