3-4) Raster Graphics Command Details
Raster graphics are command types and incidental specifications that enable high speed and high quality printing of
graphics.
The following shows the characteristics and specifications for raster graphics.
• Define the raster mode command as an expansion set for Star Line mode.
Basically no restrictions set for use of conventional STAR line mode.
Not usable with Star Page mode.
• Supports high-speed data transmission
When using IEEE 1284, data transmission rate of 80 to 100 kbytes ensured.
• Supports both fixed lengths and variable length modes.
• Print speed selectable
• Post printing cut operation selectable
• All settings possible by raster commands.
Most settings are possible without DIPSW/memory switch settings.
• Support of printer driver that supports the raster mode.
The following shows the raster command details.
Note that if not specifically noted, the following commands are effective only in raster mode and the commands are
ignored (Four bytes ignored) when other than the raster mode.
The raster image buffer in the command details described below indicate the raster dedicated image buffer, the length
thereof (vertical direction dot count) differing between models.
The following commands are valid only when thermal has been selected. Their use is prohibited when slip and valida-
tion have been selected.
The following commands are valid only when Thermal is selected. Use is prohibited when Slip/Validation is selected.
