Section 4-3
Note The differences between LPRT, EKPRT and NKPRT are shown in the follow-
ing table.
Note When the Super ESC/P printer control code is used, both NKPRT and EKPRT
are supported.
PC-PR: Printer control code used by NEC’s PC-PR xx Series.
ESC/P: Printer control code supported by EPSON. Used in most print-
ers.
Super ESC/P: Printer control code that automatically switches between ESC/
P and PC-PR.
4-3 Sending Data
4-3-1 PRINT# Command
The PRINT# command sends data through the designated communication
port. For example, it can send command frames originally stored in variables,
print variables to the printer, and display data from variables on the screen.
Note The following apply when the device symbol is TERM, LPRT, or SCRN:
• If delimited with commas, output is divided into 9-character fields.
• If delimited with semi-colons or spaces, output is continuous.
• If there is no semi-colon at the end, then a new line is inserted after the
transmission has ended.
• In a numerical format, one space is placed at the start and finish. (The
first space is for the minus sign.)

LPRT When not outputting Chinese-
derived characters (Kanji) No conversion from Shift JIS code to JIS code.

characters, the printer control code
is “PC-PR” printer Shift JIS code is converted to JIS code and
KI (Kanji In): [ESC]K (1B4B Hex)
KO (Kanji Out): [ESC]H (1B48 Hex)
are added.
EKPRT When outputting Chinese-derived
characters, the printer control code
is “ESC/P” printer Shift JIS code is converted to JIS code and
KI (Kanji In): [FS]&(1C26 Hex)
