Page Mode

The printer can operate in two modes: Standard mode and Page mode. In standard mode, the printer prints

data as it is received and feeding paper as the various paper feed commands are received. Page mode is

different in that it

processes or prepares the data as a ”page” in memory before it prints it. The “page” is

printed using either an

ESC FF

command.

For example, when the printer receives the data "ABCDEF" <

> in standard mode, it prints "ABCDEF" and

feeds the paper by one line. In page mode, "ABCDEF" is written to the specified printing area in memory,

and the position in memory for the next print data is shifted by one line.

The

ESC L

command puts the printer into page mode, and all commands received thereafter are processed

in page mode. Sending an

ESC FF

command prints the received data collectively, and sending an

command restores the printer to standard mode after the received data is printed collectively. Executing an

ESC S

command restores the printer to standard mode without printing the received data in page mode; the

received data is cleared from memory instead.

Figure 3.12.1 Shifting Between Standard Mode and Page Mode

Setting Values in Standard and Page Modes

1) The available commands and parameters are the same for both standard and page modes. However,

these values can be set independently in each mode for the

ESC SP

ESC 2

ESC 3

, and

FS S

commands. For these commands, different settings can be stored for each mode.

2) Although the maximum number of printable dots for a bit image, when the paper roll is selected as the

print sheet, is 512 in standard mode, 831 bit-image dots can be printed in the y direction (paper feed

direction) in page mode. (This is possible only when the

ESC W

command has specified 831

printable-area dots in the y direction and the printing direction value of

in the

ESC T

command is 1 or

3.)
