3.12.1General Description

The printer operates in two print modes only when the paper roll is selected as the print sheet: standard mode and page mode. In standard mode, the printer prints and feeds paper each time it receives print data or paper feed commands. In page mode, all the received print data and paper feed commands are processed in the specified memory, and the printer executes no operations. All the data in the memory is then printed when an ESC FF or FF command is received.

For example, when the printer receives the data "ABCDEF" <LF> in standard mode, it prints "ABCDEF" and feeds the paper by one line. In page mode, "ABCDEF" is written to the specified printing area in memory, and the position in memory for the next print data is shifted by one line.

The ESC L command puts the printer into page mode, and all commands received thereafter are processed in page mode. Executing an ESC FF command prints the received data collectively, and executing an FF command restores the printer to standard mode after the received data is printed collectively. Executing an ESC S command restores the printer to standard mode without printing the received data in page mode; the received data is cleared from memory instead.

3.12.2 Setting Values in Standard and Page Modes

1)The available commands and parameters are the same for both standard and page modes. However, these values can be set independently in each mode for the ESC SP, ESC 2, ESC 3, and FS S commands. For these commands, different settings can be stored for each mode.

2)Although the maximum number of printable dots for a bit image when the paper roll is selected as the print sheet is 512 in standard mode, 831 bit-image dots can be printed in the y direction (paper feed direction) in page mode. (This is possible only when the ESC W command has specified 831 printable-area dots in the y direction and the printing direction value of n in the ESC T command is 1 or 3.)
