character size and upside-down print mode. 

6. 

In standard mode, this command executes paper feeding for the amount 
needed for printing the symbol, regardless of the paper feed amount set by the 
paper feed setting command. The print position returns to the left side of the 
printable area after printing the symbol, and printer is in the status “beginning 
of the line,” or “there is no data in the print buffer.” 

7. 

In page mode, the printer stores the symbol data in the print buffer without 
executing actual printing. The printer moves print position to the next dot of the 
last data of the symbol. 

8. 

The quiet zone is not included in the printing data. Be sure to include the quiet 
zone when using this function.

NAME: 

QR Code: Transmit the size information of the symbol 

data in the symbol storage area

 

FUNCTION: 

Transmits the size information for the encoded QR 

Code symbol data in the symbol storage area using the process 
of <Function 180>.

 

RANGE: 

pL 

= 4, 

pH = 0, cn= 49, fn=82, m =

EXPLANATION: 

1. 

In standard mode, use this function when the printer is “at the beginning of a 
line,” or “there is no data in the print buffer.” 

2. 

The size information for each data is as follows;

(*1)”Horizontal size” and “vertical size” indicate the number of dots of the 
symbol. The decimal value of the vertical size and horizontal size is converted 
to text data and sent starting from the high order end.
