![-21- 6. Programmer Manual 6-1. COMMANDS 6-1-1. Command Notation [Name] The name of the command. [Format] The code sequence. [Range] Gives the allowable ranges for the arguments. [Description] Describes the command’s function. [Details] Describes the usage of the command in detail. [Notes] Provides important information on setting and using the printer command, if necessary. [Default] Gives the default values, if any, for the command parameters. [Reference] Lists related commands. [Example] Gives examples of how to use the command. Hex indicates the hexadecimal equivalents. Decimal indicates the decimal equivalents. [ ]k indicates the contents of the [ ] should be repeated k times. 6-1-2. Explanation of Terms (1) Receive buffer The receive buffer is a buffer that stores, as is, the data received from the host (the reception data). The reception data is stored in the receive buffer temporarily, and is then processed sequentially. (2) Print buffer The print buffer is a buffer that stores the image data to be printed. (3) Print buffer full This is the state where the print buffer is full. If new print data is input while the print buffer is full, the data in the print buffer is printed out and a line feed is executed. This is the same operation as the LF operation. (4) Start of line The start of line state satisfies the following condition: • There is no print data (including spaces and portions of data skipped due to bit image data) currently in the print buffer. •There is no print data (including portions of data skipped due to HT) •The print position is not specified by the ESC $ or ESC \ command. (5) Printable area The maximum range within which printing is possible under the printer specifications. The printable area for this printer is as follows: ①The length of the horizontal direction in standard mode: approximately 72.1 mm {576/203"} ②The length of the horizontal direction in page mode:](https://usermanual.wiki/ZIJIANG-ELECTRONICS/ZJ-58LYDD/User-Guide-1891974-Page-21.png)

At this time, NV bit images that haven¡¯t been defined are disabled (undefined), but any NV bit images before that are enabled. · The d indicates the definition data. In data (d) a 1 bit specifies a dot to be printed and a 0 bit specifies a dot not to be printed. · This command defines n as the number of a NV bit image. Numbers rise in order from NV bit image 01H. Therefore, the first data group [xL xH yL yH d1...dk] is NV bit image 01H, and the last data group [xL xH yL yH d1...dk] is NV bit image n. The total agrees with the number of NV bit images specified by command FS p. · A definition data of a NV bit image consists of [xL xH yL yH d1...dk].

![-70- • When the printer model used ZJports GS P, the left-side character spacing is [n1 ╳ horizontal or vertical motion units], and the right-side character spacing is [ n2 ╳ horizontal or vertical motion units]. [Details] • When double-width mode is set, the left- and right-side character spacing is twice the normal value. • The horizontal and vertical motion units are set by GS P. The previously specified character spacing does not change, even if the horizontal or vertical motion unit is changed using GS P. • The value cannot be less than the minimum horizontal movement amount, and must be in even units of the minimum horizontal movement amount. • In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit is used. • In page mode, the horizontal or vertical motion unit differs in page mode, depending on starting position of the printable area as follows: ① When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the printable area using ESC T, the horizontal motion unit ( x) is used. ② When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the printable area using ESC T, the vertical motion unit ( y) is used. ③ The maximum right-side spacing is 255/180 inches for the paper roll and is approximately 35.983 mm {255/150 inches}. Any setting exceeding the maximum is converted to the maximum automatically.
