1) This command sets the distance from the current position to [(nL + nHx256)] x
vertical or horizontal motion unit inches.
2) This command is ignored unless page mode is selected.
3) When pitch N is specified to the movement downward;
nL + nHx256 = N
When pitch N is specified to the movement upward (the negative direction), use the
complement of 65536.
When pitch N is specified to the movement upward;
nL + nH x 256 = 65536 - N

4) Any setting that exceeds the specified printing area is ignored.
5) This command function as follows, depending on the print
starting position set by ESC T;
When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right
of the printing, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left
of the printing, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used .
6) The horizontal and vertical motion unit are specified by GS P.
7) The GS P command can change the horizontal (and vertical)
motion unit. However, the value cannot be less than the minimum
horizontal movement amount, and it must be in even un its of the
minimum horizontal movement amount.

4) If the bit-image data input exceeds the number of dots to be printed on a line, the
excess data is ignored.
5) d indicates the bit-image data. Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot or to 0 to
not print a dot.
6) If the width of the printing area set by GS L and GS W less than the width
required by the data sent with the ESC * command, the following will be performed
on the line in question (but the printing cannot exceed the maximum printable area):
The width of the printing area is extended to the right to accommodate the amount
of data.
If step does not provide sufficient width for the data, the left margin is reduced to
accommodate the data.
7) After printing a bit image, the printer returns to normal data processing
mode.
8) This command is not affected by print modes (emphasized, doublestrike, underline, character size or White/Black reverse printing), except

[Notes]
1) This command ends with a NUL code.
2) When the bar code system used is UPC-A or UPC-E, the printer prints the bar
code data after receiving 12 bytes bar code data and processes the following data as
normal data.
3) When the bar code system used in EAN13, the printer prints the bar code
after receiving 13 bytes bar code data and processes the following data as normal
data.
4) When the bar code system used in EAN8, the printer prints the bar code
after receiving 8 bytes bar code data and processes following data as normal data.
5) The number of data for ITF bar code must be even numbers.
When an odd number of data is input, the printer ignores the last received data.
6) n indicates the number of bar code data, and the printer processes n bytes from
the next character data as bar code data.
7) If n is outside of the specified range, the printer stops command processing and
http://www.woosim.com

NACK
0x15
ENQ
0x05
Print data

EOF : End of frame (EOF code must be 0xC1)
CHECKSUM : Checksum is necessary in case of the TOF code is 0x44.
DATA : Data is in need of the TOF code is 0x44, 0x05, 0x53.
1. If the code (0xC0, 0xC1, 0x7D) is included on sending data, first insert 0x7D code, then
operate XOR with that code and 0x20.
Example : In case the send data is 0x20 0x7D 0xC1, the sending data will be 0x20 0x7D 0x5D
0x7D 0xE1.
Note : The bolded character is inserted data.
And the underlined character is the data operated XOR with 0x20.
2. If the code 0x7D is included on receiving, first remove 0x7D code, then operate XOR with
next code and 0x20.
Example : In case the received data is 0x20 0x7D 0x5D 0x7D 0xE1, the real data will be 0x20
0x7D 0xC1.
http://www.woosim.com
75
Note : The underlined character is the data operated XOR with 0x20.
7.2. Process of printer status inquiry
1. If there is no response from printer, after fifth times recheck with every 400ms,
then display the error message such as "The printer cannot fined" on your display panel same
like CRT, PDA, etc.
2. Structure of printer status response frame

1. DATA ID : It is made up 1 digit number.
The range is 0 - 9.
The number must be character code.
2. DATA Length : It consists of 4 digit numbers.
The range is 0001 - 9999.
The number must be character code.
Example - If you want to send 4 numbers data to printer, you must send 0x30 0x30 0x30
0x34 codes as data length.
3. CHECKSUM : It is composed of 2 bytes.
1st byte is operated XOR value with odd numbers of data.
And 2nd byte is operated XOR value with even numbers of data
Example - In case of print data is SAMPLE TEST, data length is 0011 (0x30 0x30 0x31
0x31), the 1st byte of checksum is operated XOR value with S, M, L, space, E, T,
and 2nd byte checksum is operated XOR value with A, P, E, T, S.
Note :
1. Do not have time interval over 200ms on transmitting print data.
2. If not receive EOT or NACK frame within 1 second after transmitting print data
completely, jump to the transmitting ENQ frame.
3. If receive EOT frame after print data transmitted, quit the print operation
4. In case of receiving NACK frame, if receive NACK frame more than three times
after transmit print data three times, display CHECK PRINTER STATUS on your
display panel and wait operator's measures.

Appendix
A.MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
1. Printer mechanism handling
1) Do not pull the paper out when the cover is closed.
2) Because the thermal elements of the print head and driver ICs are easy to break, so do not
touch them with any metal objects.
3) Since the areas around the print head become very hot during and just after printing, do not
touch them.
4) Do not use the cover open button except when necessary.
5) Do not touch the surface of the print head because bust and dirt can stick to the surface and
damage the elements.
6) Thermal paper containing Na, K, Cl ions can harm the print head thermal elements.
Therefore, be sure to use only the specified paper.
7) If you want to use label paper, please contact your dealer for assistance.
2. Thermal paper handling
- Notes on using thermal paper
Chemicals and oil on thermal paper may cause discoloration and faded printing.
Therefore, pay attention to the following;
1) Use water paste, starch paste, polyvinyl paste, or CMC paste when gluing thermal paper.
2) Volatile organic solvents such as alcohol, ester, and ketone can cause discoloration.
3) Some adhesive tapes may cause discoloration or faded printing.
4) If thermal paper touches anything which includes phthalic acid ester plasticizer for a long
time, it can reduce the image formation ability of the paper and can cause the printed image to
fade. Therefore, when storing thermal paper in a card case or sample notebook, be sure to use
only products made from polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyester.
5) If thermal paper touches diazo copy paper immediately after copying, the printed surface
may be discolored.
6) Thermal paper must not be stored with the printed surfaces against each
other because the printing may be transferred between the surfaces.
http://www.woosim.com
80
7) If the surface of thermal paper is sc ratched with a hard metal object
such as a nail, the paper may become discolored.
- Notes on thermal paper storage
Since color development begins at 70°
C (158°
F), thermal paper should be protected
from high temperature, humidity, and light, both before and after printing.
1) Store paper away from high temperature and humidity.
Do not store thermal paper near a heater or in enclosed places exposed to direct sunlight.
2) Avoid direct light Extended exposure to direct light may cause discoloration or faded
printing.
3. Others
Because this printer uses plated steel, the manual cutting edge may be subject to rust.
However, this does not affect the printer performance.
