27
Notes:
The Y coordinate specification parameter indicates the bottom left edge of the text data to
expand, so when the set font is 24 dots, the minimum value of the Y coordinate specification
value is 23. If the set font is 16 dots, the minimum value of the Y coordinate specification value
is 15.
JP, GP2312 or GB18030, BIG5 and KR models do not use 16 dot fonts.
Notes:
If the print characters are set with overwriting settings of ‘0,’ ‘1’ with the card arrangement
direction specification parameter, the device will write to the same print region. Therefore, the
characters set first with this electronic statement will be invalid, and subsequent set data will
become valid and printed. Spaces between characters are skipped, but when there is a
background image, the image data remains between the characters.
Text data string
• Print text
Print text prints 1-byte characters (single-byte characters) (prints two-byte characters even with 1 byte
data when two-byte ANK characters are specified with the ESC control, only in Japanese
specifications.) and two byte Chinese characters (Japanese specifications: Shift JIS code; Taiwanese
specifications: BIG5; Chinese specifications: GB2312 or GB18030; and Korean specifications:
Hangul).
The two-byte code area of the GB18030 characters can be printed in the GB18030 mode, but USER
AREAs 1, 2 and 3 cannot be printed.
• Line feed control data
This print line feed control LF (0Ah) command line feeds the print coordinate pointer 1 character
space, including spaces between lines, in reverse. The reverse X coordinate is the X coordinate
origin point.
• ESC Sequence
If there is an ESC (1Bh) in the print text data string, this sets the characters size specification,
combined with the next character.
• ESC E/e
Specifies character size.
ESC ‘E’/’e’ next parameter range: ’11,’ ’12,’ ’21,’ ‘22’ 2 digit configuration
ESC “E11” Normal size
ESC “E12” Horizontal double size
ESC “E21” Vertical double size
ESC “E22” Vertical/horizontal double size
• ESC G
This expands a specified 24 dot 2-byte external characters FONT in the print expansion buffer
memory.
ESC ‘G’ next parameter range: ‘0’ to ‘F’ 1 digit configuration
ESC “G0” Expands the 0th 24 dot two-byte external character font
ESC “G1” Expands the 1st 24 dot two-byte external character font
:
:
ESC “G9” Expands the 9th 24 dot two-byte external character font
ESC “GA” Expands the 10th 24 dot two-byte external character font
:
ESC “GE” Expands the 14th 24 dot two-byte external character font
ESC “GF” Expands the 15th 24 dot two-byte external character font
