• 

pL

 and 

pH

 specifies the number of bytes of the parameters (always 4). 

• 

specifies setting values for the positions to start printing and cutting. 

 

Function 

<01>H 

Setting value for the positions to start the printing 

<02>H 

Setting value for the positions to start the cutting 

 
 

• 

m

 specifies the direction of the adjustment. 

 

Function 

<00>H 

Specifies a forward paper feeding direction 

<01>H 

Specifies a backward paper feeding direction 

 

• 

nL

 and 

nH

 specifies the setting value to [(

nL

 + 

nH

 x 256) x 0.125 mm]. 

• 

The adjustment value for the print starting position (

a

 = <01>H) is affected 

with the following commands: 

GS FF 

• 

The adjustment value for the paper cutting position (

a

 = <02>H) is affected 

with the following commands: 

GS V m n 

[Notes] 

The offset for the print starting position is refered to the offset of the 
cutting position, Offset for cutting position is always refered to the 
Optical Mark.

 

[Default]  

By factory default setting, the cutting position is set to 200 forward 
and the printing position is set to 100 backward:

 paper begins exactly 

at the position of the paper optical mark (where the optical mark sensor 
makes the detection). See point

Function 

<01>H 

Specifies the non-divided print head energizing mode. 

<02>H 

Specifies the two-part print head energizing mode. 

 
[Notes] 

When this command sets the two part energized mode (m = <02>H), the maximum 
printing speed (150mm/s) is automatically prohibited.
