TM-H6000II Technical Reference Guide
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.

If a 16 color or a 256-color bitmap file is supplied, the image may be printed using 2 colors. If the
original file is a 2-color bitmap, it will be printed in monochrome. The halftone method may be
set using the device specific setting dialog. To print as image using 2 colors, 2-color thermal
paper must be selected in the device specific settings and 2-color thermal receipt paper must be
installed in the printer.
