COMMAND DETAILS

CODES

(HEX/CONTROL):

<09> / {HT}

NAME:

Horizontal tab

FUNCTION:

Moves the print position to the next horizontal tab

position

EXPLANATION:

1. If all horizontal tab position has been cleared by {ESC} D {NUL}, this command

is ignored.

2. The default setting of the horizontal tab positions are set at every 8th character

(9th, 17th, 25th, …column).

3. If there is no more horizontal tab position set to the right of the print position

within the printing area, this command advances print position to the beginning of

next line.

4. Horizontal tab positions can be set with {ESC} D command. When horizontal tab

positions are set in font A (12 x 24) characters printing mode, switching into font

B (8 x 16) characters mode the tab positions will still align to that in font A

printing.

5. Horizontal tab positions can be reset to default values with {ESC} @.

6. Since the printer executes print buffer-full printing when print data before a {LF}

received exceeds a line’s worth, if this command is received when the printing

position is already at next line the horizontal tab processing is executed from the

beginning of this next line.

CODES

(HEX/CONTROL):

<0A> / {LF}

NAME:

Print and line feed

FUNCTION:

Print data in print buffer and feed one line

PP6000 Command Details - Page 2

EXPLANATION:

1. Print buffer is cleared after data printed. In text mode. When printer receives data

more than a line’s worth before a {LF}, the printer executes print buffer-full

printing.

2. Paper advances by one line based on the current line spacing after print.

3. In page mode the printing and paper feed does not actually occur on receiving this

command. But the data after {LF} will be arranged in next line.

4. This command sets the print position to the beginning of the line after line feed.

CODES

(HEX/CONTROL):

<0C> / {FF}

NAME:

Print and return to text mode in page mode

FUNCTION:

Prints the data in the print buffer collectively and

returns to text mode

EXPLANATION:

1. This command works only in page mode.

2. The buffer data is cleared after being printed.

3. The last printing settings in page mode printing such as underline, character font,

emphasized, double strike, character size and reverse printing remain the same for

text mode printing after this command.

4. The printing area set by {ESC} W in page mode remains the same after this

command.

5. The printer does not execute paper cutting by this command.

6. This command sets the print position to the beginning of line in text mode.

CODES

(HEX/CONTROL):

<0D> / {CR}

NAME:

Carriage return

FUNCTION:

Set the printing position to the beginning of the line

EXPLANATION:

1. When automatic line feed is enabled, this command functions the same as {LF};

PP6000 Command Details - Page 3

when automatic line feed is disabled, this command is ignored.

2. Sets the print starting position to the beginning of the line.

3. This command is ignored in a serial interface model.

4. This command is set according to the DIP switch position 7 of SW 1 is set to On

with a parallel interface model.

CODES

(HEX/CONTROL):

<10> <04> <n> / {DLE} {EOT} n

NAME:

Real-time status transmission

FUNCTION:

Transmits the selected printer status in real time

RNAGE:

1 ≤n ≤4

EXPLANATION:

1. The parameter nspecifies content group of printer status to be transmitted as

below.

n= 1: Transmit printer status

n= 2: Transmit off-line status

n = 3: Transmit error status

n= 4: Transmit paper sensor status

2. The printer transmits the current status as specified by n. Each status is

represented by one-byte data.

3. If the value of nis out of the specified range (1≤n ≤4), This command is ignored.

4. The printer transmits the status regardless of the handshaking condition of the host

computer.

5. The printer executes this command upon receiving it regardless of unprocessed

data in receive buffer.

6. This command executes with a serial interface model even when the printer is off-

line, when the receive buffer is full, or when there is an error status.

7. With a parallel interface model, when DIP switch position 4 (or 1 - 4) is set to

OFF this command can only be executed when the printer is under normal status

(on line, no error, not busy). When DIP switch position 4 (or 1 – 4) is set to ON,

this command can not be executed when the printer is busy but can be executed

when the printer is off-line or there is an error status.

PP6000 Command Details - Page 4

8. The status is transmitted whenever the data sequence of <10>h <04>h <n> (1≤n

≤4) is received even when this sequence is in fact part of data in other command.

However, that command containing this data sequence still works when it takes its

turn in printer processing queue.

Example: In ESC * m nL nH d1…dk, d1=<10>h, d2=<04>h, d3=<01>h

9. This command should not be used when the printer is processing data sequence of

another command that consists of 2 or more bytes.

Example:

If the printer is going to execute {ESC} 3 nby retrieving it from input buffer,

DTR (DSR for the host computer) goes to MARK (busy) before nis retrieved, but

{DLE} {ENQ} 2 interrupts before nis retrieved from input buffer, the code

<10>H for {DEL} {ENQ} 2 is processed as the code for {ESC} 3 <10>h.

10. When Auto Status Back (ASB) is enabled by using the {GS} a command, the

status transmitted by the {DLE} {EOT} command and the ASB status must be

differentiated.

11. Status responses from the printer are regulated in tables below as defined by value

of n.

Bit 3: The auto cutter error together with cover open error, paper near end status,

paper end status and paper jams status are considered as recoverable errors. Because it

is possible to recover to non-errors status by correcting the cause of the error and

executing {DLE} {ENQ} n(1 ≤n ≤2)

Bit 5:if an error due to improperly shut down or a circuit failure (e.g. wire break)

occurs, it is impossible to recover.

Bit 6:When printing is stopped due to high print head temperature until the print head

temperature drops sufficiently or when the paper roll cover is open during printing bit

6 is On.

(HEX/CONTROL):

<10> <05> <n>/ {DLE} {ENQ} n

NAME:

Real-time request to printer

FUNCTION:

Request to printer in real-time

RANGE:

1 ≤n ≤2

EXPLANATION:

1. The parameter nspecifies content according to the printer status as below:

n=1 Recover from an error and restart printing from the line where the error

occurred.

n= 2 Recover from an error aft clearing the receive and print buffers.

2. This command is effective only when an auto-cutter error occurs.

3. This printer starts processing data upon receiving this command.

4. This command executes with a serial interface model even when the printer is off-

line, when the receive buffer is full, or when there is an error status.

5. With a parallel interface model, when DIP switch position 4 (or 1 - 4) is set to

OFF this command can only be executed when the printer is under normal status

(on line, no error, not busy). When DIP switch position 4 (or 1 – 4) is set to ON,

this command can not be executed when the printer is busy but can be executed

when the printer is off-line or there is an error status

PP6000 Command Details - Page 7

6. The status is also transmitted whenever the data sequence of <10>h<05>h<n>(1≤

n ≤2) is received.

Example:

In {ESC} * m nL nH dk, d1= <10>h, d2=<05>h, d3=<01>h

6. This command should not be contained within another command that consists of

two or more bytes.

Example:

If you attempt to transmit {ESC} 3 nto the printer, but DTR (DSR for the host

computer) goes to MARK before nis transmitted, and {DLE} {ENQ} 2 interrupts

before nis received, the code <10>h for {DEL} {ENQ} 2 is processed as the code

for {ESC} 3 <10>h.

7. {DLE}{ENQ} 2 enables the printer to recover from an error after clearing the data

in the receive buffer and the print buffer. The printer retains the settings that were

in effect when the error occurred. The printer can be initialized completely by

using this command and {ESC} @. This command is enabled only for errors that

have the possibility of recovery, except for print head temperature error.

CODES

(HEX/CONTROL):

<18> / {CAN}

NAME:

Cancel print data in page mode

FUNCTION:

In page mode, deletes all the print data in the

printing buffer

EXPLANATION:

1. This command executed only in page mode. It is ignored in text mode.

2. All data in page mode print buffer will be cleared. If a repeatable print has been

performed, the printed data will be cleared from print buffer by this command, but

all printing settings including print position remain. In other words, the starting

position for next printing in Page mode follows last position printed.

CODES

(HEX/CONTROL):

<1B> <0C> / {ESC} {FF}

PP6000 Command Details - Page 8

NAME:

repeatable print data in page mode

FUNCTION:

Repeatable print all buffered data

EXPLANATION:

1. This command works only in page mode.

2. In page mode, this command can repeatable print all buffered data. After printing,

it still in page mode does not return to text mode.

3. After printing, the printer does not clear the buffered data, and all printing settings

including print position remain. In other words, the starting position for next

printing in Page mode follows last position printed.

CODES

(HEX/CONTROL):

<1B> <20> <n>/ {ESC} {SP} n

NAME:

Set right-side character spacing

FUNCTION:

Set right-side character spacing

RANGE:

0 ≤n ≤255

EXPLANATION:

1. Set the character spacing for the right side of the character to (nx horizontal or

vertical motion units).

2. The right-side character spacing for double-width mode is double the normal

value. When characters are enlarged, the right-side character spacing is follows

characters enlarged ntimes for normal value.

3. The underline mode is available in right-side character spacing.

4. If the right-side character spacing exceeds printing area, the printer sets the

printing position to the beginning of next line.

5. This command sets values independently in each mode (text and page modes).

CODES

(HEX/CONTROL):

<1B> <21> <n> / {ESC} ! n

NAME:

Off 00 0 Underline mode not selected7

On 80 128 Underline mode selected

2. When both –height and double-width modes are selected, quadruple size

characters are printed.

3. The printer can underline all characters, but can not underline the space set by

{HT} or 90°clockwise rotated characters.

4. The thickness of the underline is that selected by {ESC} -, regardless of the

character size.

5. When some characters in a line are double or more height, all the characters on the

line are aligned at the baseline.

6. {ESC} E can also turn on or off emphasized mode. However, the setting of the

last received command is effective.

7. {ESC} - can also turn on or off underline mode. However, the setting of the last

received command is effective.

8. {GS} ! can also select character size. However, the setting of the last received

command is effective.

(HEX/CONTROL):

<1B> <24> <nL> <nH> / {ESC} $ nL nH

NAME:

Set absolute print position

FUNCTION:

Sets the distance from the beginning of the line

RANGE:

0 ≤nL ≤255 0 ≤nH ≤255

EXPLANATION:

1. Sets the distance from the beginning of the line to the position at which

subsequent characters are to be printed.

2. The distance from the beginning of the line to the print position is [nL + nH x 256]

x (vertical or horizontal motion unit in inches)].

3. Settings outside the specified printable area the printer set the printing position to

the beginning of next line.

4. If left margin has been set before absolute print position the left margin value

depend on the absolute print position.

5. In text mode, the horizontal motion unit xis used.

6. In page mode, horizontal or vertical motion unit differs depending on the starting

position of the printable area as follows:

1. When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the printable

area using {ESC} T, the horizontal motion unit xis used.

2. When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the printable

area using {ESC} T, the vertical motion unit yis used.
