Programming

Text Commands

ESC s n1	data			Send Dot-Line, 203 dpi
1B 73 n1	Data		Hex
27 115 n1	Data		Decimal
	Sends one line of dot data. This command is used to build images, one dot line at a time by the
	printer driver and should not be combined with text commands.
n			Determines the number of bytes. Range: 1-255.
<data>			1 – x bytes, where x is the printhead width in bytes. The printhead width is in the
			spec. of the printer.
		Example • 58 mm printers use 48 bytes
		Example • 80 mm printers use 72 bytes
		Example • 112 mm printers use 104 bytes
		Example • A4 and Letter-size printers use 216 bytes

Caution • Always send the No. of bytes that you specify!

If more than the specified No. of bytes are received, the rest of the bytes will be interpreted as text or commands. This can cause any kind of problems in the printer as graphics data can contain any hex value.

If you specify less data then the actual printhead width, the printer will fill the rest of the dot line with spaces.

Data Compression

The Windows drivers use line based compression to decrease the time it takes to transfer graphics data to the printer.
