(ex: When horizontal size is 120 dots, horizontal size is “120” (in hexadecimal:
31H, 32H, and 30H / in decimal: 49, 50, and 48 ), which is 3 bytes of data.)
(*2)”Other information” indicates whether printing of the data in the symbol
storage area is possible or impossible. The “Other information“ is the following.
Other information
Hex Decimal
Condition
30H 48
Printing
is
possible
31H
49
Printing is impossible
3.
Size information indicates size of symbol that is printed by Function 181.
4.
The quiet zone is not included in the size information.
5.
If “other information” is “Printing is impossible“(in decimal: 49), use one of the
solutions shown below.
Cause
Solution
There are data in the print
buffer in the standard mode
Put the printer in the “there is no data in the print
buffer” status by executing
GS T
or print
commands (
LF, CR, ESC J
).
Symbol is bigger than the
current print area.
Expand the print area by
GS W
,
ESC W
,
ESC $
.
Reduce the module size by Function 167.
Lower the error correction level by Function 169.
The data in the symbol
storage area is too large.
Send correct data by Function 180.
Select other model by Function 165
Lower the error correction level by Function 169.
There is no data in the
symbol storage area.
Send data to the symbol storage area by Function
180.

EXPLANATION:
1. This command using the number of dots specified by
x
and
y
x
specifies the number of dots in the horizontal direction.
y
specifies the number of dots in the vertical direction.
2. The number of dots in the horizontal direction is
x
x 8, in the vertical direction it
is
y
x 8.
3. If
x
x
y
is out of the specified range, this command is disabled and printing
data as normal.
