1. OUTLINE
1.1 Operation Mode
Our printer has ESC/POSTM as control commands.
1.2 Character Set
All print data sent from the host computer to the printer are automatically converted to one-byte alphanumeric or
katakana characters (ANK) or two-byte Kanji corresponding to the characters and symbols.
NOTE: For the contents of character set, refer to Character Code Table of this document.
1.3 Control Commands
1.3.1 Control Command Details
Control Commands are used for controlling the operations of the printer such as starting/stopping of printing, line
feeding, paper feeding, etc. They control all functions related to printing, such as type of characters, enlargement
of characters or setting of format.
1.3.2 How to Send Control Commands
Some methods are available for sending Control Commands from the host computer to the printer. Here, a
method of sending by BASIC programming is explained.
Example 1
Let’s print a character string “CITIZEN” in enlarged (double-height, double-width) and in normal format.
Program coding
The Control Command shows that the command name for setting the size of a character is GS !. Let’s make a
program using this code. An example is shown below.
Program List
Print Result
10 A$="CITIZEN"
20 LPRINT CHR$(&H1D);"!"; CHR$(&H11);
30 LPRINT A$;
40 LPRINT CHR$(&HA); CHR$(&HA);
50 LPRINT CHR$(&H1D);"!"; CHR$(&H00);
60 LPRINT A$;
70 END
CITIZEN
CITIZEN
In lines 20 and 50, setting and canceling of enlarging a character is sent. As a result, lines 30 and 60 print the same
character string but line 30 prints enlarged characters and line 60 cancels the enlargement and prints in normal
format.
* In this document, sample programs are in BASIC. For details of BASIC programming, refer to the manual for
BASIC.

• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculation are corrected with the minimum pitch of the mechanism, and
the remainder is omitted.
• In STANDARD MODE, this command uses the vertical (paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch
(y).
• In PAGE MODE, this command acts differently depending on the start point:
(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom right, the command uses the vertical
(Paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (y).
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom left, the command uses the
horizontal (Perpendicular to the paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (x).
• The maximum settable line feed width is 1016 mm (40 inches). A setting greater than this
maximum is trimmed to the maximum.

[The specification which is common to the model]
Sets the right spacing of character to [n×basic calculation pitch] inches.
[Caution]
• If the horizontal magnification of character is 2 or more, the right spacing increases with the
magnification.
• Does not affect Kanji.
• The right spacing can be set separately for the STANDARD and PAGE MODES.
• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P. Once defined, the right spacing is not changed if the
basic calculation pitch is changed by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculation are corrected with the minimum pitch of the mechanism, and
the remainder is omitted.
• In STANDARD MODE, this command uses the horizontal basic calculation pitch (x).
• In PAGE MODE, the basic calculation pitch used by this command depends on the start point:
(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom right, the command uses the
horizontal basic calculation pitch (x).
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom left, the command uses the vertical
basic calculation pitch (y).
• The maximum right spacing is capable of approximately 31.906 mm (255/203 inches). A setting

• With double height and double width being specified simultaneously, quadruple characters are
created.
• An underline is attached to the full character width, which, however, is not attached to the part
having been skipped by the horizontal tab (HT). Neither is it attached to 90°-right-turned
characters.
• The underline width is as specified by the ESC – command. (The default setting is 1 dot width.)
• Setting by this command is invalid for Kanji except setting and canceling of enhanced printing.
• In case characters with different vertical magnification ratios coexist on the same line, they are
printed on the same base line.
• ESC E, ESC M, ESC –, and GS ! can individually set or cancel the mode but the command
processed last is valid.
• Setting or canceling of enhanced 3rd bit is valid for alphanumeric and kana and kanji. Other print
mode is valid only for alphanumeric and kana characters.

[Caution]
[The specification which is common to the model]
• This command is valid for all characters (alphanumeric, kana, and kanji) except for HRI
characters.
• This command is ignored if either the vertical magnification or horizontal magnification is out of
the defined range.
• In PAGE MODE, the vertical direction means the top-bottom direction of each character. The
horizontal direction means the side-to-side direction of each character. If characters of different
vertical magnification are contained in a line, the baseline of each character is lined up.
• Horizontal and vertical magnification can also be specified/canceled by ESC ! but the setting of
command last processed is valid.
• In STANDARD MODE, the vertical direction is defined as the paper feed direction, and the
horizontal direction is defined as the direction perpendicular to the paper feed.
[The specification which depend on the model]
CT-S280/CT-S300/CT-S2000/CT-S4000/CT-S310
• Setting memory SW 3-7 to ON allows the horizontal and vertical relations to be interchanged

[The specification which is common to the model]
The printing start position is specified by the absolute position from the left margin with the number
of dots divided by 256 and quotient specified as “n2” and remainder as “n1”. Therefore, the printing
start position is designated as n1+n2×256×basic calculation pitch from the left margin.
[Caution]
• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P. After the line feed width is set, if the basic calculation by
GS P leaves a fraction, the fraction is corrected with the minimum pitch of the mechanism, and the
remainder is omitted.
• In STANDARD MODE, this command uses the horizontal (Paper feed direction) basic calculation
pitch (x).
• In PAGE MODE, this command acts differently depending on the start point:
(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom left, the command uses the vertical
(Paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (y).
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom right, the command uses the
horizontal (Perpendicular to the paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (x). Specification
beyond the end of the line is ignored.

• “n” indicates the number of columns from the beginning to the horizontal tab position. Note,
however, that “n = set position – 1”. For example, to set the position at 9th column, n = 8 is to be
specified.
• “k” denotes the number of horizontal tab positions you want to set.
• The tab position is set at a position where it is “character width ×n” from the beginning of a line.
The character width, at this time, includes the space on the right. In double width characters, it is
made double the ordinary case.
• Tab positions that can be specified are maximum 32. Specifying tab positions exceeding this limit
is ignored.
• k, which denotes a setting position, is input in the increasing order and ends at <00> H.
• ESC D clears all the set tab positions. Following clearing, the horizontal tab command is
ignored.
[Caution]
• When the data, k, is equal to or smaller than its preceding data, k-1, it is assumed that
tab setting is finished. If this is the case, the next data onward will be processed as normal data.
• When the data, k, exceeds a 1-line print area, set the horizontal tab position, as “Set column
position = Maximum print columns + 1”.
• The horizontal tab position does not change even if the character width is altered after setting the
horizontal tab position.
[Default]
At the selection of font A, tabs are set every 8 characters (at 9th, 17th, 25th, ...) with right space

• Absolute position setting exceeding the specified print area is ignored.
• Position in horizontal direction of character at the start position of data development is not shifted.
• Start point used as the reference is set by ESC T.
• The following operation occurs at the start point of ESC T.
(1) When start point is set at “upper left” or “lower right”, the absolute position of paper feed
direction (vertical direction of character) is set. In this case, basic calculation pitch (y) of
vertical direction is used.
(2) When start point is set at “upper right” or “lower left”, the absolute position of vertical
direction of paper feed (vertical direction of character) is set. In this case, basic calculation
pitch (x) of horizontal direction is used.
• Basic calculation pitch is set by GS P.
• When fractional number is caused by the calculation, it is corrected by the minimum pitch of
mechanism and the rest is discarded.

(2) If an area for one character cannot be provided as a result of step (1), the print area is
extended toward the left. (So, the left margin is decreased.)
• When mapping non-character data (bit image, downloaded bit image, or bar code), if the print
area specified is narrower than 9-bits, only the line for that data is handled as follows:
(1) The print area is extended toward the left (so, the left margin is decreased) until it is 9-dot

[Outline]
[The specification which is common to the model]
This command is used in PAGE MODE to specify the vertical position of a character in the data
mapping start position, in a relative position with respect to the current position. The next data
mapping start position will be at a point [(nL+nH×256)×basic calculation pitch] inches away from
the current position.
[Caution]
• This command is ignored when PAGE MODE is not selected.
• If a new position is specified for a character located beneath the current position, it should be
specified as positive (+). If it is above the current position, it should be negative (–).
• A negative value is the complement of 65536. For example, to move the position by N pitches up,
specify it as: nL + nH x 256 = 65536 – N
• The specification of a relative position outside the specified print area is ignored.
• Depending on the start point specified by ESC T, this command acts as follows:
(1) If the start point is the top left or bottom right, the command specifies the relative position in
the paper feed direction (the character’s top-bottom direction) using the vertical basic
calculation pitch (y).
(2) If the start point is the top right or bottom left, the command specifies the relative position in
the direction perpendicular to the paper feed (the character’s top-bottom direction) using the
horizontal basic calculation pitch (x).
• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculations are corrected with the minimum pitch of the mechanism, and
the remainder is omitted.

[The specification which is common to the model]
Sets the line feed width per line to [n×basic calculation pitch] inches.
[Caution]
• The line feed width can be set separately for the STANDARD and PAGE MODES.
• The basic calculation pitch is set by GS P. Once defined, the line feed width is not changed if the
basic calculation pitch is changed by GS P.
• Fractions resulting from calculation are corrected with the minimum pitch of the mechanism, and
the remainder is omitted.
• In STANDARD MODE, this command uses the vertical (paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch
(y).
• In PAGE MODE, this command acts differently depending on the start point:
(1) If the start point specified by ESC T is top left or bottom right, the command uses the vertical
(paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (y).
(2) If the start point specified by ESC T is top right or bottom left, the command uses the
horizontal (perpendicular to the paper feed direction) basic calculation pitch (x).
• The maximum settable line feed width is 1016 mm (40 inches). A setting greater than this
maximum is trimmed to the maximum.

[Caution]
[The specification which is common to the model]
• Any of the print modes (character size, emphasis, double strike, inverting, underlining,
back-to-white reversing, etc.) does not affect the raster bit image.
• If the print area specified by GS L and GS W is narrower than a minimum width, the print area for
that line only is extended to the minimum width. The minimum width is one dot in NORMAL
MODE (m = 0, 48) and DOUBLE HEIGHT MODE (m = 2, 50), and 2 dots in DOUBLE WIDTH
MODE (m = 1, 49) and QUADRUPLE SIZE MODE(m = 3, 51).
• Any part of data that is out of the print area is only read and discarded in units of dot.
• The print start position can arbitrarily be specified with HT (horizontal tab), ESC $ (specifying
absolute position), ESC ＼ (specifying relative positions), and GS L (setting left margins). Note that
if the print start position is not a multiple of 8, the printing speed may decrease.
• The setting of ESC a (aligning characters) are also valid for the raster bit image.
• If this command is executed during macro definition, the macro definition is suspended, and the
processing of the command starts. The macro is left undefined.
• “d” denotes defined data. Dots to be printed are specified as “1”, and those not to be printed as
“0”.

• Each status represents the current status. It is 1 byte data.
• The status is transferred without checking whether the host is ready to receive or busy.
• This command is executed even if the printer is in offline state, receive-buffer full state, or error
state.
• This command is dealt with when it is received.
• With serial interface specifications, this command is executed in offline state, receiving buffer full
state, and error state.
• With parallel interface specifications, this command cannot be executed while the printer is in Busy
state.
When memory SW1-3 is ON, the printer does not enter Busy state in the offline state and error
state.
• If ASB (Automatic Status Back) is enabled by GS a, it is necessary to discriminate between the
status due to ASB and the status due to this command
• This command can be executed even if printer setting by ESC = is invalid.
• If another data string of <10>H<04>H (1 n 4) is received, the printer acts the same way as
with this command. Therefore, the user should be reminded of this fact.
[Example 1]
Suppose a command “ESC * m nL nH [d1 ... dk]”, where d1 = <10>H, d2 = <04>H, d3 = <01>H.
• The DLE EOT n command cannot be interleaved into the code string of another command
consisting of 2 bytes or more.
[Example 2]
If the printer sends DLE EOT 3 after the host has sent up to ESC 3 in its attempt to send ESC 3 n,
the printer handles the ESC 3 as ESC 3 <10>H. Thus, the user should be cautious.

[The specification which is common to the model]
• If any status item is enabled, the status is sent to the host when this command is executed. After
that time on, the status is sent each time an enabled status item changes. Because each status
item represents the current condition, status items disabled for ASB may also have changed.
• The ASB function is disabled if all status items are disabled.
• If the ASB function is enabled by default, the host receives the status the first time the printer gets
ready for communication after it is turned on.
• The printer sends 4 bytes of status shown in the tables below, without checking whether the host
is ready to receive or busy. The 4 bytes of status is a continuous string except for XOFF code.
• Because this command is executed when data is mapped in the receive buffer, there may be a
delay between command receiving and status sending depending on the condition of the receive
buffer.
• Even if the printer is excluded from the selection of peripheral equipment ESC =, the 4 bytes of
status is sent to the host whenever status changes.
• When DLE EOT, GS I, or GS r is used, the host must discriminate between the status specified by
these commands and the status due to ASB.

Sends the Paper Sensor status.
Sends the Drawer Kick-out Connector status.
[The specification which is common to the model]
• When the serial interface is used:
For DTR/DSR control:
The printer sends the status after verifying that the host is ready to receive. If the host is not
ready to receive, the printer waits for the host to become ready to receive.
For XON/XOFF control:
The printer sends the status without checking whether the host is ready to receive or busy.
• Because this command is executed when data is mapped in the receive buffer, there may be a
delay between receiving the command and sending the status depending on the condition of the
receive buffer.
• If ASB (Automatic Status Back) is enabled by GS a, the host must discriminate between the status
due to this command and the status due to ASB.
• Whenever the Paper-end Sensor detects a “paper out” state, the printer goes offline, and the
command is not executed. Therefore, the printer never sends a status “No paper in Paper-end
detector (0CH)”.
[The specification which depend on the model]

For (1):
• This command ends with a NULL code.
• For UPC-A or UPC-E, the bar code is printed when 12 bytes of bar code data have been entered,

• For JAN13, the bar code is printed when 13 bytes of bar code data have been entered, and the
subsequent data is handled as normal data.
• For JAN8, the bar code is printed when 8 bytes of bar code data have been entered, and the
subsequent data is handled as normal data.
• The data of ITF bar code must have an even number of columns. Should the data have an odd
number of columns, the last column is ignored.
For (2):
• Numeral “n” indicates the number of data items, and the subsequent “n” bytes of data are
handled as bar code data.
• If “n” is out of the range, the processing of the command is aborted, and the subsequent data is
handled as normal data.
For STANDARD MODE:
• If “d” is out of the range, only a paper feed is executed, and the subsequent data is handled as
normal data.
• If the bar code is wider than the print area for one line, the bar code is not printed, but only a
paper feed is executed.
• The amount of paper feed corresponds to the height of the bar code (including the HRI
characters if HRI character printing is specified), irrespective of the line feed width set by a
command such as ESC 2 or ESC 3.
• This command only works if no data exists in the print buffer. If any data exists in the print
buffer, the data subsequent to “m” is handled as normal data.
• After the bar code is printed, the beginning of the line is taken as the start position for the next
print.
• This command is not affected by any print modes (emphasis, double strike, underline, and
character size), except for the inverted character mode.
For PAGE MODE:
• This command only maps the bar code, without performing a printout. After the bar code is
mapped, the dot next to the last data item of the bar code is taken as the start position for the
next data mapping.
• If “d” is out of the range, the processing of the command is aborted, and the subsequent data is
handled as normal data. In this case, the data mapping start position does not move.
• If the bar code is wider than the print area, the bar code is not printed, but the data mapping
start position is moved to the left end of the non-print area.

[Description of Bar Codes]
UPC-A
This bar code, consisting of numerals only, has a fixed length of 12 columns; a 11- column
number entered from the host or application software plus a check digit (12th column)
automatically calculated inside the printer. If the 12th-column numeral is sent from the host, the
entire bar code will be printed as it is.
UPC-E
This bar code, consisting of numerals only, has a fixed length of 8 columns.
This printer compresses the 11- or 12-digit data (with check digit) entered to 8 digits by
using zero suppression of UPC-E standard and then prints the data.
Indicates an example of data compression based on zero suppression.
*The printer does not print bar code except the following conditions.
Ex.) Original code shall be (0-ABCDE-VWXYZ)…11 digits (with no check digit specified).
Printable patterns are as follows:
1. When V - Y are all “0”: “0-ABCDE-0000Z”⇒“ABCDEZ”.
*Provided only 5 - 9 are applied to Z.
2. When E and VWXY are all “0”: “0-ABCD0-0000Z”⇒“ABCDZ4”.
*The last character 4 indicates that maker codes A and D are not “0”.
3. When DE and VWX are “0”: “0-ABC00-000YZ”⇒“ABCYZ3”.
*The last character 3 indicates that A and C are not “0” and ABC is a number of
3 digits.
4. When DE and VW are “0” and C is “0”, “1”, or “2”:
(1)When C=“0”: “0-AB000-00XYZ”⇒“ABXYZ0”.
(2)When C=“1”: “0-AB100-00XYZ”⇒“ABXYZ1”.
(3)When C=“2”: “0-AB200-00XYZ”⇒“ABXYZ2”.
5. The check digit of 12th column is automatically calculated in the printer.
JAN-13(EAN)
This bar code, consisting of numerals only, has a fixed length of 13 columns; a 12- column
number entered from the host or application software plus a check digit (13th column)
automatically calculated inside the printer. If the 13th-column numeral is sent from the host, the
entire bar code will be printed as it is.
JAN-8(EAN)
This bar code, consisting of numerals only, has a fixed length of 8 columns; a 7- column number
entered from the host or application software plus a check digit (8th column) automatically
calculated inside the printer. If the 8th-column numeral is sent from the host, the entire bar code
will be printed as it is.
CODE39
This bar code, consisting of upper-case alphabetic characters and numerals, has a variable length
of columns. The start/stop code “*” is automatically added by the printer. The available
characters include space and “$ % + – . / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9” and upper-case alphabetic
characters.
ITF
This bar code, consisting of only numerals, has a variable length of even-number columns. If a
code of odd-number columns is sent, the bar code will not be printed.
CODABAR(NW-7) This bar code, consisting of alphanumeric, has a variable length of columns. Available characters
include “0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D $ + – . / :”. A start/stop code is required; any one of A, B, C,
and D is used.
- 108 -
CODE93
This bar code, consisting of alphanumeric and control characters, has a variable length of
columns. The HRI character string is preceded and followed by a “￭” character. HRI characters
for control characters (00H - 1FH, and 7FH) are each printed as a combination of a “￭” character
and an alphabetic character.

CODE128
This bar code consists of 103 bar code characters and three code sets, enabling 128 ASCII code
characters to be printed. It has a variable length of columns.
• Code set A ASCII characters 00H - 5FH can be represented.
• Code set B ASCII characters 20H - 7FH can be represented.
• Code set C Two-digit numbers 00 - 99 can each be represented by one character. In addition to
the above characters, special characters are available:
• Shift character (SHIFT)
When used in code set A, one character next to a Shift character is treated as a character of
code set B. When used in code set B, one character next to a Shift character is treated as a
character of code set A. The Shift character cannot be used in code set C.
• Code set select characters (CODE A, CODE B, CODE C):
The code set following a code set select character is switched to code set A, B, or C.
• Function characters (FNC1, FNC2, FNC3, FNC4):
How the function characters are used depends on each application. In code set C, only FNC1 is
available.
When sending print data, note these points:
(1) Each string of bar code data must begin with a code set select character (CODE A, CODE B, or
CODE C), which selects the first code set to use.
(2) Every special character is specified by a combination of two characters: a brace “{” followed
by one character. A brace “{” itself is sent twice consecutively.

GS k <73><10><7Bh 42h> “No.” <7Bh 43h><12><34><56>
• If the printer finds a string of bar code data that does not begin with a code set select character,
it immediately aborts the command processing and handles the subsequent data as normal
data.
• If the printer received a character that is not available in the currently selected code set, it
immediately aborts the command processing and handles the subsequent data as normal data.
• An HRI character corresponding to either a Shift character or a code select character is not
printed. An HRI character for either a function character or a control character is treated as a
space character.

• “n” denotes the number of the download bit image.

[Caution]
• When the specified NV bit image “n” is undefined, this command is invalid.
• When the STANDARD MODE is selected, this command is valid only when there is no data in the
print buffer.
• This command is invalid when PAGE MODE is selected.
• Any printing modes except the upside-down printing mode (i.e. emphasis, double strike,
underlining, character size, inverted character printing, 90°-right-turned) are not affected.
• When the printing area set by the functions GS L and GS W is not enough for one vertical line of
the download NV bit image, the line alone is dealt with as follows.
One vertical line of the bit image is 1 dot in NORMAL MODE (m = 0, 48) and DOUBLE HEIGHT
MODE (m = 2, 50), and it is 2 dots in double WIDTH MODE (m = 1, 49) and QUADRUPLE SIZE
MODE (m = 3, 51).
(1) The printing area is extended to the right side within the limits of the printing area so that one
vertical line of the download NV bit image can be printed.
(2) When a sufficient printing area cannot be maintained even after executing (1), the printing
area is extended to the left side. (The left margin is reduced.)
• When the size of a bit image exceeds the limits of the printing area, the data within the limits of
the printing area will be printed but the parts exceeding the limit will not be printed.
• Regardless of the amount of line feed set with ESC 2 and ESC 3, NORMAL MODE and DOUBLE
WIDTH MODE execute a paper feed of (height “n” of NV bit image) dots while DOUBLE HEIGHT
MODE and QUADRUPLE SIZE MODE execute a paper feed of (height “n” of NV bit image x2) dots.
• At the completion of the bit image printing, the head of the line will be used for the next printing
position and normal data processing will take place.

[Outline]
[The specification which is common to the model]
This command defines the specified NV bit image.
• “n” denotes the number of bit images to be defined.
• xL and xH denote the horizontal size of one NV bit image as (xL+xH×256)×8 dots.
• yL and yH denote the vertical size of one NV bit image as (yL+yH×256 )×8 dots
[Caution]
• Because all the NV bit images previously defined by this command are deleted, it is not possible to
redefine any one of the previously defined multiple data. All the data must be resent.
• Any mechanical operation such as opening the cover, initializing the printer head position, or using
the paper-feed switch etc can’t execute from the execution of this command until the completion
of the hardware reset,
• When the STANDARD MODE is selected, this command is only valid when it is written at the head
of a line.
• This command is invalid when PAGE MODE is selected.
• This command becomes valid after the 7 bytes of are processed as normal
values.
• When data which exceeds the remaining capacity of the defined area is specified by xL, xH, yL, yH,
outside-defined-area arguments will be processed.
• When outside-defined-area arguments are processed for the first bit image data group, this
command becomes invalid.
• If outside-defined-area arguments are processed for the second or subsequent NV bit image data
groups, the processing of this command is suspended, and a writing process into the non-volatile
memory starts. At this time, the NV bit image being defined becomes invalid (Undefined), but the
preceding NV bit images are valid.
• “d” denotes the definition data. Bits which correspond to dots to be printed are represented as “1”,
and those not to be printed as “0”.
• The definition will start from NV bit image number 01H and n-number bit images will be defined in
ascending order. Therefore, the first data group [xL xH yL yH d1… dk] becomes NV bit image
number 01H, and the last data group [xL xH yL yH d1… dk] becomes NV bit image number 0nH.
These numbers of NV bit images coincide with those specified with FS p.
- 130 -
• The definition data of one NV bit image consists of [xL xH yL yH d1… dk]. Therefore, when only
one NV bit image is defined, n = 1; the data group [xL xH yL yH d1… dk] is manipulated once, and
([Data: (xL + xH x256) x( yL + yH x256 ) x8 ] + [Header: 4]) bytes of non-volatile memory is
used to store it
• The maximum definition area of printer depends on model. Multiple NV bit images can be defined,
but bit images of which total size (Bit image data + Header) exceeds capacity of definition area
can not be defined.
• The printer state will change to BUSY just before the writing operation into the non-volatile
memory begins. Also, the printer state will change to BUSY just before the writing operation
begins regardless of the state of the memory switch even at a printer that have a memory switch
1-3[Busy condition]
• While this command is being executed, it is not possible to send ASB status or to detect the printer
status even when the ASB function is selected.
• If this command is sent while a macro is still being defined, the definition process will be stopped
and the execution of this command will start.
• NV bit images that are defined already are not initialized by using ESC @ command, or by
resetting the printer or turning the power off.
• The command only executes definition of NV bit image, but not start printing. The printing of NV
bit image will be executed by FS p.
• Because frequent writing in the non-volatile memory can destroy the memory, the writing
command should be used less than 10 times a day.
• It may happen that the printer becomes BUSY during the process of writing data into the
non-volatile memory in the execution of this command. When the printer becomes BUSY, it will
stop receiving data. Therefore, sending data from the host (including real time command) is
prohibited.

• When auto cutter disabled is selected
(1)Feeds the printed label to the position to be cut by the manual cutter.
(2)Keeps waiting till cutting is made and FEED SW is pressed while blinking LED.
(3)If FEED SW is pressed, setting the first position of BM paper/label paper is carried
out.
• The printer is in the BUSY state till the processing of (3) is executed. If, however,
FEED SW is not pressed in 3 seconds, the same operation as that with FEED SW is
executed.
• When auto cutter enabled is selected
(1)The printed label is fed to the auto cutter position and full cutting is carried out.
(2)Setting the first position of next BM paper/label paper is carried out.
[Caution]
Valid only if Black mark paper/ label paper is selected.

[Range]

[Outline]
[The specification which is common to the model]
This command sets the leader position of Black mark paper/ label paper in terms of correction value
set for the default position.
“m” denotes the correcting direction.
• “m” is valid only for the lowest bit (m0).
• Control by the lowest bit (m0) is shown as follows:
m0
0
1
Correcting Direction
Corrects the leader position in the forward direction
Corrects the leader position in the reverse direction
• “n” denotes the correction value in units of n/203 inch.
[Caution]
• This command is valid only when Black mark paper/ label paper is chosen.
• This command is ignored except immediately after the execution of a Black mark/ label positioning
command (FF, GS FF, GS A, GS <) or immediately after leader positioning performed on a paper
feed action with the FEED switch, power on, or cover closure.
• The maximum reverse correction span is 0.5 mm. Correction settings exceeding this value are
truncated into the maximum value. The leader position may be deviated due to paper flexure. For
reverse correction, exercise care so the leader position does not step out of the Black mark/ label.
• For forward correction, set the correction span by taking into account the Black mark/ label length
as the printable area changes before and after correction setting.
• In calculating a correction span, use the basic calculation pitch (y) for the vertical direction. The
fractional part contained in the calculation result should be corrected in units of the mechanism’s
minimum pitch, with the remaining fractional part truncated.
