6.1.4.User-defined pattern command

Esc*c#W [ data ] (27)(42)(99)#(87) <1Bh><2Ah><63h>#<57h>

•# should be in the range 0 ~ 32767.

•# stands for the number of pattern data bytes.

•User defined patterns can be defined by binary data or an 8 byte pattern descriptor.

•The formats for the pattern descriptor are listed below.

<For 300 dpi>
MSB		LSB
0 - 1	Format (0)	Continuation (0)
2 - 3	Pixel Encoding (1)	Reserved (0)
4 - 5	Height in Pixels
6 - 7	Width in Pixels
8 -	Pattern Image

MSB		LSB
0 - 1	Format (20)	Continuation (0)
2 - 3	Pixel Encoding (1)	Reserved (0)
4 - 5	Height in Pixels
6 - 7	Width in Pixels
8 - 9	X resolution
10 - 11	Y resolution	X=Y: 300 or 600
12 -	Pattern Image

•A pattern which is defined at 600 dpi cannot be converted to one at 300 dpi.

•Format - set to 0 or 20.

•Continuation - set to 0.

•Pixel Encoding - set to 1.

•Height in Pixels - specifies the pattern height by the number of rows.

•Width in Pixels - specifies the pattern width by the number of pixels.

•Pattern Image - consists of the raster data for the pattern.

•X resolution - specifies the resolution in the X scan direction.

•Y resolution - specifies the resolution in the Y scan direction.

6.1.5.Set pattern reference point

Esc*p#R (27)(42)(112)#(82) <1Bh><2Ah><70h>#<52h>

•This command sets the pattern reference point to the current cursor position.

•# specifies whether the pattern rotates with the print direction or remains fixed.

•The Pattern reference point should be placed on a physical page and the base pattern is positioned at the pattern reference point for tiling.
