15 5. ESC/POS PRINTING COMMAND SET 5.1 Command Detail Print Commands The TECHNICAL MANUAL supports the following commands for printing characters and advancing paper. When executing printing with the standard mode selected, the printer executes paper feed. When the page mode is selected, except for FF and ESC FF, only the data development position is moved and actual printing and paper feeding are not executed. Command LF ESC J ESC d Name Print and line feed Print and feed paper Print and feed n lines LF Print and line feed [Format] ASCII LF Hex 0A Decimal 10 LF prints the data in the print buffer and feeds one line. The amount of paper fed per line is based on the value set using the line spacing command. The default setting is 1/6 inch. Print Sample PRINT #1, "AAAAA"; CHR$(&HA); PRINT #1, "BBBBB";CHR$(&HA); AAAAA BBBBB Rev

16 ESC J n Print and feed paper [Format] ASCII ESC J n [Range] 0 n 255 Hex 1B 4A n Decimal n ESC J n prints the data in the print buffer and feeds the paper n(vertical or horizontal motion unit). This command is used to temporarily feed a specific length without changing the line spacing set by other commands. The maximum paper feed amount is 40 inches. When standard mode is selected, the vertical motion unit set by GS P is used. When page mode is selected, the vertical or horizontal motion unit set by GS P is used for the print direction set by ESC T. Print Sample PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1D);"P";CHR$(180);CHR$(180); PRINT #1, "AAAAA"; CHR$(&HA); PRINT #1, "BBBBB"; CHR$(&H1B);"J";CHR$(100); PRINT #1, "CCCCC"; CHR$(&HA); PRINT #1, "DDDDD"; CHR$(&HA); AAAAA BBBBB CCCCC DDDDD ESC J used to print one line and advance the paper by 100/180 inch ESC d n Print and feed n lines [Format] ASCII ESC d n Hex 1B 64 n Decimal n [Range] 0 n 255 Rev

17 ESC d n prints the data in the print buffer and feeds n lines. The amount of paper fed per line is based on the value set using the line spacing command. The maximum paper feed amount is 40 inches. The default setting of the paper feed amount is 1/6 inch. Print Sample PRINT #1, "AAAAA"; CHR$(&HA); PRINT #1, "BBBBB";CHR$(&H1B);"d";CHR$(6); PRINT #1, "CCCCC"; CHR$(&HA); AAAAA BBBBB ESC d used to print one line and advance the paper by six lines CCCCC Rev

18 Line Spacing Commands The TECHNICAL MANUAL supports the following commands for setting line spacing. These commands only set the line spacing; they do not actually advance the paper. The line spacing can be set independently in standard mode and in page mode. The line spacing set using these commands affects the results of LF and ESC d and paper feeding by using the FEED button. Command ESC 2 ESC 3 Name Select default line spacing Set line spacing ESC 2 Select default line spacing [Format] ASCII ESC 2 Hex 1B 32 Decimal ESC 3 n Set line spacing [Format] ASCII ESC 3 n [Range] 0 n 255 Hex 1B 33 n Decimal n ESC 2 sets the line spacing to 1/6 inch. This is equivalent to 30 dots. ESC 3 n sets the line spacing to n (vertical or horizontal motion unit). The default setting of the paper feed amount is 1/6 inch (n=60). The maximum line spacing amount is 40 inches. When standard mode is selected, the vertical motion unit set by GS P is used. When page mode is selected, the vertical or horizontal motion unit set by GS P is used for the print direction set by ESC T. The line spacing can be set independently in standard mode and in page mode. PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1D);"P";CHR$(180);CHR$(180); FOR n=25 TO 50 STEP 5 PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1B);"3";CHR$(n); NEXT n PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1B);"2"; Set the default PRINT #1, "BBBBB";CHR$(&HA); PRINT #1, "CCCCC"; CHR$(&HA); Set line spacing Print Sample AAAAA AAAAA 25/180-inch line spacing AAAAA AAAAA AAAAA AAAAA BBBBB CCCCC 30/180-inch line spacing 35/180-inch line spacing 40/180-inch line spacing 45/180-inch line spacing 50/180-inch line spacing 1/6-inch line spacing Rev

19 Character Commands The TECHNICAL MANUAL supports the following commands for setting character font and size: Command ESC SP ESC % ESC & ESC? ESC! ESC ESC E Name Set right-side character spacing Select/cancel user-defined character set Define user-defined characters Cancel user-defined characters Select print mode(s) Turn underline mode on/off Turn emphasized mode on/off ESC G ESC { ESC V GS! GS B GS b Turn double-strike mode on/off Turn upside-down printing mode on/off Turn 90 clockwise rotation mode on/off Select character size Turn white/black reverse printing mode on/off Turn smoothing mode on/off ESC SP n Set right-side character spacing [Format] ASCII ESC SP n [Range] 0 n 255 Hex 1B 20 n Decimal n ESC SP n sets the right-side character spacing to n (horizontal or vertical motion unit). It is used to change the spacing between characters. The default setting is n=0. When standard mode is selected, the horizontal motion unit set by GS P is used. When page mode is selected, the vertical or horizontal motion unit set by GS P is used for the print direction set by ESC T. This command is effective for all characters (except for HRI characters). Rev

20 The right-side character spacing can be set independently in standard mode and in page mode.

21 ESC? n Cancel user-defined characters [Format] ASCII ESC? n [Range] Hex 1B 3F n Decimal n 32 n 126 ESC % n selects or cancels the user-defined character set. When the LSB (least significant bit) of n is 1, the user-defined character set is selected. When it is 0, the internal character set is selected; this is the default setting. Rev

22 ESC & y c1 c2 [x1 d1... d(y x1)]... [xk d1... d(y xk)] defines user-defined characters from character code c1 to c2. y and x are the configuration of a user-defined character. y specifies the number of bytes in the vertical direction. x specifies the number of dots in the horizontal direction. Character codes from the alphanumeric characters (20H (decimal 32) to 7EH (decimal 126)) can be defined by c1 and c2. Data (d) specifies a bit printed to 1 and not printed to 0. As the default, user-defined characters are not defined and the internal character set is printed. Once the user-defined characters have been defined, they are available until ESC?, or GS is executed; the user-defined characters are redefined; the power is turned off; or the printer is reset. When this command is executed, the downloaded bit image is canceled. ESC? n cancels the user-defined characters defined for the character code n. After the userdefined characters are canceled, the internal character set is printed.

42 ESC v Transmit paper sensor status [Format] ASCII ESC v Hex 1B 76 Decimal ESC v transmits the status of a paper sensor as 1 byte of data. GS r is preferred for checking the status because ESC v is not a recommended command. When the paper roll end sensor detects a paper-end, the printer goes off-line and does not execute this command. Therefore, bits 2 and 3 do not transmit paper-end status. The status to be transmitted is shown in the table below. This command is supported only by TECHNICAL MANUAL.

For TECHNICAL MANUAL, when m=0 or 48, the printer executes a full cut. When using this command, there is a gap between the auto-cutter position and the print position. Rev

49 When m=66 in GS V m n, the printer feeds the paper to (cutting position + n vertical motion unit) and executes a partial cut (one point left uncut). For TECHNICAL MANUAL, when m=65, the printer feeds the paper to (cutting position + n vertical motion unit) and executes a full cut. The vertical motion unit is specified by GS P. The default setting of the vertical motion unit is 1/360 inch. The value of m selects the mode for GS V m and GS V m n as follows: m Print Mode 0, 48 Full cut (cuts the paper completely) 1, 49 Partial cut (one point left uncut) ESC i executes a partial cut of the paper with one point left uncut. ESC i operates in the same way as GS V when m=1 or 49. GS V is preferred for cutting paper because ESC i is not a recommended command. ESC i is supported only by TECHNICAL MANUAL.
