Page Mode Commands
Here is an example of using page mode:
A typical procedure for transmitting commands in page mode is as follows:
(1) Transmit
ESC L
to enter page mode.
(2) Specify the printable area using ESC W.
(3) Specify the printing direction using ESC T.
(4) Transmit the print data.
(5) Collectively print the data by sending an FF.
(6) After printing, the printer automatically returns to standard mode.
Example:
Sample program in BASIC (assumes transmission to the printer is already possible with file #1
open)
100 PRINT #1,CHR$(&H1B);"L";
110 PRINT #1,CHR$(&H1B);"W";CHR$(0);CHR$(0);CHR$(0);CHR$(0);
120 PRINT #1,CHR$(200);CHR$(0);CHR$(144);CHR$(1);
130 PRINT #1,CHR$(&H1B);"T";CHR$(0);
140 PRINT #1,"Page mode lesson TEST 1"
150 PRINT #1,CHR$(&HC);
In the program, a printable area of 200 X 400 dots starting at (0,0) is set, and characters are printed on
the first line of the area as shown in the figure below. Note that a line feed was inserted between
"lesson" and "TEST 1". This line feed was inserted automatically because there was no room for the
blank " " following the word "lesson" within the horizontal range of the 200
⋅
400 printable area. The feed
amount here is that specified by
ESC 3
. Any number of printable areas can be specified before the
FF
is
executed. If any printable areas overlap, however, the logical sum of the data written to the overlapping
portions is used for the final printing.
