TM-P60 with Peeler Technical Reference Guide
4.6.2.1 Printing method
Print stored bitmap by DirectIO method.
• *Command : PTR_DI_PRINT_FLASH_BITMAP
Note
NV graphics data shares the domain used by user NV memory record data; therefore, the entire capacity of
the domain to which NV graphics data and user NV memory data are defined is targeted. The TM-P60
with Peeler’s entire capacity is 384 KB.
4.6.2.2 LetterQuality
It is possible to change the speed and quality of a bitmap by using the XXXLetterQuality
property.
RecLetterQuality = TRUE ‘print Receipt’s bitmap in quality mode.
RecLetterQuality = FALSE ‘print Receipt’s bitmap in speed mode.
4.6.2.3 Setting of printing position by escape sequence
POS Printers support escape sequences that can be treated as printing data. The following
commands are the escape sequence command for setting of printing position.
Note1: manner of ”ESC |cA” and “ESC |rA”
Characteristics are reset at the end of each print method or by a “Normal” sequence, so these escape
sequences cannot be used in the following manner.
OPOSPOSPrinter1.PrintNormal PTR_S_RECEIPT, Chr(&H1B) + ”|cA” + ”123”
OPOSPOSPrinter1.PrintNormal PTR_S_RECEIPT, “456” + Chr(13) + Chr(10)
The “123” characters will be printed in the center, but not under “456”. When using a new method to
print characters, it is necessary to add the desired escape sequence again.
Note2 : limitation of ”ESC |cA” and “ESC |rA”
*During rotated printing mode (Left90, right90), these escape sequences will not work.
*These will not work if they are not the first character of a line.
*It is not possible to use these on PrintBitmap method.
