THERMAL RECEIPT PRINTER-

------------

①

The printing area width is extended to the right up to one line in vertical. In

this case, printing does not exceed the printable area.

②

If the printing area width cannot be extended by one line in vertical, the left

margin is reduced to accommodate one line in vertical.

GS *

GS : (*)

[Name] Start/end macro definition

[Format] ASCII GS :

Hex 1D 3A

Decimal 29 58

[Description] Starts or ends macro definition.

[Details]

•

Macro definition starts when this command is received during normal operation.

Macro definition ends when this command is received during macro definition.

•

When

GS ^

is received during macro definition, the printer ends macro

definition and clears the definition.

•

Macro is not defined when the power is turned on.

•

The defined contents of the macro are not cleared by

ESC @

. Therefore,

ESC @

can be included in the contents of the macro definition.

•

If the printer receives

GS :

again immediately after previously receiving

GS :

the printer remains in the macro undefined state.

•

The contents of the macro can be defined up to 2048 bytes. If the macro

definition exceed 2048 bytes, excess data is not stored.

GS B n (*)

[Name] Turn white/black reverse printing mode

[Format] ASCII GS B n

Hex 1D 42 n

Decimal 29 66 n

[Range] 0

≤

255

[Description] Turns on or off white/black reverse printing mode.

•

When the LSB of n is 0, white/black reverse mode is turned off.

•

When the LSB of n is 1, white/black reverse mode is turned on.

[Details]

•

Only the lowest bit of n is valid.

•

This command is available for built-in characters and user-defined characters.

•

When white/black reverse printing mode is on, it also applied to character

spacing set by

ESC SP

•

This command does not affect bit image, user-defined bit image, bar code, HRI

characters, and spacing skipped by

ESC $

, and

ESC \

•

This command does not affect the space between lines.

•

White/black reverse mode has a higher priority than underline mode. Even if

underline mode is on, it is disabled (but not canceled) when white/black reverse

mode is selected.

[Default] n = 0
