X: This combination disables the proper printer operation.  
NOTES: 1. Some program versions are not released actually.  
2. Boot programs V1.1A and V2.0A do not support the SNMP function as they are not able to  
download this function. Any other functions than the SNMP function are supported.  
3. As the SNMP function has been included in the main program V5.0, it is not necessary to  
download the SNMP program. Even if it is downloaded by mistake or the printer is used  
with the SNMP program installed, there is no impact on the printer operation.  
4. Firmware V5.0 or greater will not work with the MAIN3-R or earlier PC board. The  
MAIN4-R or greater is required. Be careful of the combination.

READY/BUSY (RTS) Protocol  
c XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3) Protocol  
z When initialized after the power is turned on, this printer becomes ready to receive data  
and sends an XON code (11H). (Transmission or non-transmission of the XON code is  
selectable by means of the parameter setting.)  
z The printer sends an XOFF code (13H) when the blank positions in the receive buffer  
become 10 Kbytes or less.  
z The printer sends an XON code (11H) when the blank positions in the receive buffer  
become 512 Kbytes or more.  
z When there are no blank positions in the receive buffer, the printer discards data received  
exceeding the receive buffer capacity, without storing it in the buffer. (After detecting the  
XOFF code, the host computer must stop transmission before the printer receive buffer  
becomes full.)  
z The printer sends an XOFF code (13H) when the power is off. (Transmission or non-  
transmission of the XOFF code is selectable by means of the parameter setting.)  
z The DTR signal is always “High” (READY).  
z The RTS signal is always “High”.  
d READY/BUSY (DTR) Protocol  
z When initialized after the power is turned on, this printer becomes ready to receive data  
and turns the DTR signal to “High” level (READY).  
z The printer turns the DTR signal to “Low” level (BUSY) when the blank positions in the  
receive buffer become 10 Kbytes or less.  
z The printer turns the DTR signal to “High” level (READY) when the blank positions in the  
receive buffer become 512 Kbytes or more.  
z When there are no blank positions in the receive buffer, the printer discards data received  
exceeding the receive buffer capacity, without storing it in the buffer. (After detecting the  
BUSY signal, the host computer must stop transmission before the printer receive buffer  
becomes full.)

e XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3) Protocol + READY/BUSY (DTR) Protocol  
z When initialized after the power is turned on, this printer becomes ready to receive data  
and turns the DTR signal to “High” level (READY). The printer also sends an XON code  
(11H).  
z When the blank positions in the receive buffer become 10 Kbytes or less, the printer turns  
the DTR signal to “Low” level (BUSY) and sends an XOFF code (13H).  
z When the blank positions in the receive buffer become 512 Kbytes or more, the printer  
turns the DTR signal to “High” level (READY) and sends an XON code (11H).  
z When there are no blank positions in the receive buffer, the printer discards data received  
exceeding the receive buffer capacity, without storing it in the buffer. (After detecting the  
XOFF code or BUSY signal, the host computer must stop transmission before the printer  
receive buffer becomes full.)  
z The printer sends an XOFF code (13H) when the power is off.  
z The RTS signal is always “High”.  
f READY/BUSY (RTS) Protocol  
z When initialized after the power is turned on, this printer turns the RTS signal to “High”  
(READY).  
z The printer turns the RTS signal to “Low” (BUSY) when the blank positions in the receive  
buffer become 10 Kbytes or less.  
z The printer turns the RTS signal to “High” (READY) when the blank positions in the receive  
buffer become 512 Kbytes or more.  
z When there are no blank positions in the receive buffer, the printer discards data received  
exceeding the receive buffer capacity, without storing it in the buffer. (After detecting the  
BUSY signal, the host computer must stop transmission before the printer receive buffer  
becomes full.)  
z The DTR signal is always “High” (READY).  
z The DSR signal from the host must always be “High”.  
* When the flow control is performed with a Windows PC, “READY/BUSY (RTS) protocol”  
should be selected, and “Hardware” should be selected for the flow control in the Windows  
communication port setting.  
NOTE: For “READY/BUSY (DTR) protocol”, data should be sent after 200 ms from when the  
DTR signal is turned to “High” (READY). For “READY/BUSY (RTS) protocol”, data  
should be sent after 200 ms from when the RTS signal is turned to “High” (READY).

(10) Input/Output Signals :  
Compatibility mode  
c Data 1 ~ 8 (Printer Host)  
z Input data signals for the 1st to 8th bits.  
z Logic 1 is “High” level.  
z Min. data pulse width of 2.5 µsec.  
d nStrobe (Printer Host)  
z Synchronizing signal for reading the above data.  
z Normally at “High” level. The data is read at the rise of the Low level pulse.  
z Minimum data pulse width of 0.5 µsec.  
e Busy (Printer Host)  
z This signal indicates that the printer is in a Busy state.  
z When initialized after the power is turned on, the printer becomes ready to receive data  
and turns the signal to “Low” level.  
z The signal turns to “High” level (in a Busy state) when data is set from the host (at the fall  
of the nStrobe signal).  
z The signal turns to “Low” level when the printer reads the data.  
z When the blank positions in the receive buffer become 512 bytes or less, the printer keeps  
the signal at “High” level (in a Busy state) for 10 seconds when data is set from the host, to  
extend the data read interval.  
z When there are no blank positions in the receive buffer, the printer stops reading data.  
Then, it keeps the signal at “High” level (in a Busy state) until there are blank positions in  
the receive buffer when data is set from the host.  
z The signal is kept at “High” level (in a Busy state) until the current state (one of the  
following states) is reset.  
PAUSE state caused by the [PAUSE] key  
Paper end state  
Ribbon end state  
Head open state

Initialization in progress upon receipt of the nInit signal  
f nAck (Printer Host)  
z This signal indicates that the printer has read the data set by the host and is ready to  
receive the next data.  
z The signal is normally at “High”. It is at “Low” for about 5 µsec. after the fall of the BUSY  
signal. The host should usually set data after the ACK signal is turned from “Low” to  
“High”.  
z If the nAck signal is ignored and the next data is set while the nAck signal is Low, the  
“LOW” level continues about further 5 µsec at the fall of the BUSY signal. However, the  
data can be received properly.

g nInit (Printer Host)  
z Reset request signal from the host.  
z Normally at “High” level. A low on this input causes the printer to be initialized in the  
same manner as when the power is turned on.  
* When “Reset process when the nInit signal is ON” is set to “OFF” in the parameter setting  
in the system mode, the printer is not initialized even if it receives a low signal.  
z When the nInit signal is input during printing, the printer completes printing one tag/label  
which is being printed, cancels the next processing, then is initialized in the same manner  
as when the power is turned on.  
* When “Reset process when the nInit signal is ON” is set to “OFF” in the parameter setting  
in the system mode, the next process proceeds without being canceled.  
z Minimum pulse width of 0.5 µsec.  
h Select (Printer Host)  
z This is an output signal which indicates whether the printer is in Pause state or placed  
online. The printer can receive data while placed online.  
z The signal is at “Low” level while the printer is in a Pause state.  
z The signal is kept at “Low” level (in a Pause state) until the current state (one of the  
following states) is reset.

Nibble mode  
c PtrClk (Printer Host)  
z Reverse data transfer phase: It is used for evaluating data sent to the host.  
z Reverse idle phase:  
When the printer changes the signal from Low to High, an  
interrupt informing the host that the data is available, occurs  
d PtrBusy (Printer Host)  
z Reverse data transfer phase: Data bit 3 is used for the first transfer. Data bit 7 is used for  
the second transfer. Indicates the forward channel is in a  
Busy state.  
e AckDataReq (Printer Host)  
z Reverse data transfer phase: Data bit 2 is used for the first transfer. Data bit 6 is used for  
the second transfer.  
z Reverse idle phase:  
This signal is set to high until the data transfer is requested  
by the host. Then, the process is performed according to  
the nDataAvail signal.  
f Xflag (Printer Host)  
z Reverse data transfer phase: Data bit 1 is used for the first transfer. Data bit 5 is used for  
the second transfer.  
g HostBusy (Printer Host)  
z Reverse data transfer phase: It indicates that the host can receive data from the printer by  
setting the signal to low. Then, the host sets the signal to  
high, and sends the Ack indicating that the nibble data is  
received. When the signal is set to low after the reverse  
channel data transfer is performed, the interface phase  
changes to the idle phase. At that time, there is no  
available data on the printer.  
z Reverse idle phase:  
When this signal is set to high according to the low pulse of  
the PtrClk signal, the host enters the reverse data transfer  
phase again. If this signal is set to high when the  
IEEE1284 Active signal is low, the IEEE1284 idle phase  
stops, and the interface enters the Compatibility mode.  
h nDataAvail (Printer Host)  
z Reverse data transfer phase: When the signal is low, it indicates the printer has data to be  
sent to the host. And it is used for sending data bits 0 and  
4.  
z Reverse idle phase:  
It is used for indicating that the data is available.

ECP mode  
c Data 1 ~ 8 (Printer ← → Host)  
z Input/output data signals for the 1st to 8th bits.  
z Logic 1 is “High” level.  
d HostClk (Printer Host)  
z This signal is used with the PeriphAck signal for transferring data information or address  
information from the host to peripheral equipment when a closed loop and handshake are  
executed.  
e PeriphAck (Printer Host)  
z Peripheral equipment controls the forward data transfer using this signal. This signal also  
provides the 9th data bit which is used for determining whether or not command  
information or data information is included in the reverse data signal.  
f PeriphClk (Printer Host)  
z This signal is used with the HostAck signal for transferring data information or address  
information from peripheral equipment to the host when a closed loop and handshake are  
executed.  
g nReverseRequest (Printer Host)  
z The host makes this signal LOW to change channels to the reverse direction.  
z In the ECP mode, only when this signal is LOW and the IEEE1284Active is HIGH,  
peripheral equipment can activate the bidirectional data signal.  
h XFlag (Printer Host)  
z
i nPeriphRequest (Printer Host)  
z In the ECP mode, peripheral equipment can make this signal LOW for requesting  
communications with the host. The request is just only a “Hint” for the host. The host  
ultimately controls the transfer direction.  
This signal provides the peer-to-peer  
communication mechanism. This signal is usually used for generating an interrupt to the  
host. This signal takes effect in both directions forward and reverse.  
j nAckReverse (Printer Host)  
z Peripheral equipment makes this signal LOW, and returns an ACK to the  
nReverseRequest signal. The host is dependent on the nAckReverse signal to determine  
the timing when the host is allowed to activate the data signal.  
k +5 V  
z This is not a signal but a +5 V power supply voltage.  
z The maximum current of 500 mA can be taken out.  
l IEEE1284Active (Printer Host)  
z
11  
HostAck (Printer Host)  
z The host activates this signal to control the reverse data transfer. This signal is used with  
the PeriphClk signal, when an interlocked handshake is performed. This signal also  
provides the 9th data bit which is used for determining whether or not command  
information or data information is included in the forward data signal.

d Receiving data in the Compatibility mode when the blank positions in the receive buffer are  
512 bytes or less:  
z When the blank positions in the receive buffer become 512 bytes or less, the printer stores  
all of the already received data in the receive buffer, continues to be in a Busy state (Busy  
signal at “High” level) for 10 seconds to extend the data read interval when data is set from  
the host, then reads the data 10 seconds later.  
z If the blank positions becomes 513 bytes or more while waiting for reading data, the printer  
will receive the data with the normal data receive timing.  
z When there are no blank positions in the receive buffer, the printer stops reading data.  
Then, it continues to be in a Busy state (Busy signal at “High” level) until there are blank

Notes  
(1) Before changing the label size or type of sensor, the Label Size Set Command  
must first be transmitted.  
(2) The Label Size Set Command is protected in memory (even if the power is turned  
off).  
(3) After sending the Label Size Set Command, one sheet of paper must be fed by  
the Feed Command ([ESC] T) and must be aligned with the first print position prior  
to printing.  
(4) The origin of drawing coordinates, print stop position (head position at stop), and  
cut position are determined according to the parameters of the Label Size Set  
Command as shown in the figure on the preceding page. For the print stop  
position in strip issue mode, refer to the section of the Position Fine Adjust  
Command. The effective print area is centered on the label/tag.  
(5) Printing cannot be performed in the slow up (1 mm) and slow down (1 mm) areas.  
Consequently, [A: Label pitch/Tag pitch] - [H: Effective print length] 2 mm must  
be assumed.  
(6) The origin of drawing coordinates, print stop position (head position at stop), and  
cut position are adjustable by the Fine Adjust Commands and according to the  
fine adjustment settings in the system mode.  
(7) The tag rotation designation of the Issue Command ([ESC] XS) causes the origin  
of drawing coordinates to be origin c in the case of “printing bottom first” and to  
be origin d in the case of “printing top first”, as shown in the figure.  
(8) The parameters must be as shown in the figure and table. Any value or paper  
outside the range results in a failure of printing or an error.  
(9) Where an effective print length within “max. effective print length for on-the-fly” is  
specified, labels even each with different data can be printed continuously without  
stopping every label because printing and drawing of the next label are processed  
at the same time. [On-the-fly issue]  
However, printing may stop every label depending on the quantity of drawing data.  
Also, if the ribbon saving is performed, the On-the-fly issue will not be performed  
regardless of the data quantity.  
(10) The setting for the backing paper width is used for the control of the backing paper  
rewind motor for a strip issue. Therefore, this setting is not effective for any  
mode other than strip issue mode.

Notes  
(1) If the feed value fine adjustment, cut position (or strip position) fine adjustment or  
back feed value fine adjustment has been set in the system mode (key operation  
on the printer), the fine adjustment value will be the sum of the fine adjustment by  
this command and the fine adjustment in the system mode. The max. fine  
adjustment values are as follows. However, the max. feed fine adjustment value  
is limited within the label pitch.  
Feed value fine adjustment.........................................................±50.0 mm  
Cut position (or strip position) fine adjustment............................±50.0 mm  
Back feed value fine adjustment.................................................±9.9 mm  
(2) After changing the fine adjustment value by this command, one label must be fed  
by the Feed Command ([ESC] T) to adjust the first print position.  
(3) Each fine adjustment value is protected in memory (even if the power is turned off).  
(4) If a fine adjustment value is improper, printing will not be performed correctly.  
For example, if the back feed fine adjustment value is not set properly,  
the print positions without cutting and after cutting will be different from  
each other. If the label is fed back excessively, the paper will not be  
fed correctly during printing.  
In the strip issue mode, the print position may differ between the first  
label and the second label. The back feed fine adjustment is used to  
adjust the length so that the label is correctly fed back to the position  
placed before the forward feed is performed.  
(5) The cut position (or the strip position) fine adjustment and the back feed fine  
adjustment are effective only when the printer is in cut issue or strip issue mode.  
(6) Procedure for label having label pitch of less than 38 mm when the swing cutter is  
used:  
The minimum label pitch of the label which can be cut in normal use is 38 mm.  
When a label having a label pitch of less than 38 mm is used (although it is out of  
specifications), the edge of the label is caught by the edge of the thermal head  
during a back feed to the home position after cutting the gap area between labels.  
Therefore, the label may not be fed back to the proper home position. By  
performing either method below, the problem will be solved.  
[Method 1] Lift the head.  
When the following conditions are all met, the cut operation is as follows.  
Head lifted Forward feed to the cut position Head lowered Cut →  
Head lifted Reverse feed to the home position Head lowered  
Conditions: Issue Command, Feed Command, and Eject Command received.  
Label pitch of 38.0 mm or less, cut performed, transmissive sensor  
designated, cut position fine adjustment of ±10.0 mm or less, and  
issue mode “C”  
* The head is lifted/lowered only when the optional ribbon save module is  
attached and the use of the ribbon saving system is set to ON in the parameter  
setting. When the ribbon save module is not installed, use Method 2 since the  
head is not lifted/lowered.

NOTES: 1. If the head is being lifted when the edge of the label which is being  
ejected passes the paper feed roller, the sensor may not be able to  
detect an error even if it occurs (a feed cannot be performed).  
2. If the head-up solenoid temperature is high when a cut issue is  
about to be performed with the head lifted, the head may not be  
lifted.  
[Method 2] Adjust the cut position value.  
When this procedure is used, one or more printed labels are left between the  
head and the cutter. Therefore, these labels should be removed by an issue or  
a label feed.  
(a) Cut position fine adjustment value calculation  
The cut position fine adjustment value can be calculated using the following  
method. If a back feed to the proper home position cannot be performed  
using this value, the cut position should be adjusted with any value.

(7) Procedure for label having less than the minimum label pitch for each issue speed  
when the rotary cutter is used:  
When the following conditions are all met, the cut operation for the last label to be  
cut is as follows.  
Forward feed to the cut position Cut with feeding Feed stops →  
Head lifted Reverse feed to the home position Head lowered  
Conditions: Issue Command, Feed Command, and Eject Command received.  
Label pitch: Less than the minimum label pitch for each issue speed,  
cut performed, transmissive sensor designated, cut position fine  
adjustment of ±10.0 mm or less, and issue mode “C”  
* For the Issue Command, this procedure is effective only for the last label to be  
cut when the next Issue Command is not received.  
* The head is lifted/lowered only when the optional ribbon save module is attached  
and the use of the ribbon saving system is set to ON in the parameter setting.  
When the ribbon save module is not installed, the head-up/down operations are  
not performed. See “NOTES” below.  
NOTES: 1. If the head is being lifted when the edge of the label which is being  
ejected passes the paper feed roller, the sensor may not be able to  
detect an error even if it occurs (a feed cannot be performed more).  
2. If the head-up solenoid temperature is high when a cut issue is  
about to be performed with the head lifted, the head may not be  
lifted.  
(8) There may be cases where a label is not returned to the home position depending  
on the print conditions, even if a backfeed, of which the length is the same as the  
forward feed, is performed. In issues where any paper sensor is used, if the label  
pitch length is almost the same as the distance between the thermal print head and  
the paper sensors (75.5 mm), a label/tag may not be returned to the home position  
when operations with a backfeed (such as cut issues, strip issues, automatic  
forward feed standby) are performed. It may result in an error. In such cases, to  
prevent an error from occurring, the backfeed length should be increased by  
performing the back feed fine adjustment in the + direction.

Explanation  
(1) The print density fine adjustment is performed by adjusting the time that the  
voltage is applied to the thermal head.  
(2) If the print density fine adjustment value has been set in system mode (key  
operation on the printer), the fine adjustment value will be the sum of the fine  
adjustment by this command and the fine adjustment in the system mode. The  
maximum fine adjustment values for thermal transfer/direct thermal print modes  
are each ±10.  
(3) The fine adjustment values in thermal transfer print mode and direct thermal print  
mode can be set independently.  
(4) The Print Density Fine Adjust Command is protected in memory (even if the power  
is turned off).  
(5) The fine adjustment value for both the fine adjust command and the system mode  
fine adjustment is 00 at shipment from the factory.  
(6) The maximum value for each print speed is as follows. When the value exceeds  
the maximum, it is automatically corrected to the max. value, and then the printer  
prints.

6.3.4 RIBBON MOTOR DRIVE VOLTAGE FINE ADJUST COMMAND  
[ESC] RM  
Function  
Format  
Term  
Finely adjusts the drive voltage of the ribbon motor.  
[ESC] RM; abbcdd [LF] [NUL]  
a:  
Fine adjustment direction of the ribbon rewind motor  
-: Negative (The voltage is lowered.)  
bb:  
c:  
Fine adjustment value for the ribbon rewind motor  
00 to 15 (in units of 1 step)  
Fine adjustment direction of the ribbon back tension motor  
-: Negative (The voltage is lowered.)  
dd:  
Fine adjustment value for the ribbon back tension motor  
00 to 15 (in units of 1 step)  
Explanation  
(1) If wrinkles occur on the ribbon, they can be prevented by adjusting the ribbon  
motor drive voltage by this command.  
(2) -1 step corresponds to -5% of the standard drive voltage.  
(3) The ribbon motor drive voltage fine adjustment value is protected in memory (even  
if the power is turned off).  
(4) If the ribbon motor drive voltage fine adjustment value has been set in the system  
mode (key operation on the printer), the fine adjustment value will be the sum of  
the system mode and the ribbon rewind motor adjustments or the system mode  
and the ribbon back tension motor adjustments. The max. fine adjustment values  
are as shown below.

(5) When RAM clear is performed, the fine adjustment values for both fine adjust  
commands (rewind/back tension) and the system mode are 00.  
(6) The fine adjustment values for both fine adjust commands (rewind/back tension)  
and the system mode are 00 at the time of shipment from the factory.  
Example  
To set the value for the ribbon motor (rewind) to -3, and the value for the ribbon motor  
(back tension) to -2.

(9) Check digit to be attached  
When Modulus 10 or Modulus 43 is selected, the check digit of a data row is calculated  
and attached to the data row for drawing. When modulus 10 is designated and the data  
includes any data other than the numerals, the data row will not be drawn. When  
modulus 43 is designated and the data includes any character other than CODE39, the  
drawing is not performed.  
When DBP Modulus 10 is selected, the check digit of a data row is calculated and only  
the check digit is drawn. When the data includes any data other than the numerals,  
drawing is not performed.  
When the font type is “r”, the check digit cannot be added.  
* DBP Modulus 10 is Modulus 10 for Deutsche Bundespost Postdienst only.

(10) Increment/decrement  
Printing is performed while the data is incremented or decremented every time a label is  
issued. Where the data row exceeds the maximum number of digits (40), the data row  
will not be drawn.  
When the font type is r, 51, 52, 53, 54, or 55, the  
incrementing/decrementing cannot be designated. (If it is designated, it is ignored, and  
the printer operates as if there was no designation.)

For the data string, up to 40 digits (including letters, numerals, and symbols) are  
possible. Only the numerals are selected and calculated for incrementing/  
decrementing, and then are returned to the previous position to draw the data.

The leading zero(s) in a data row is replaced by a space(s) according to the designated  
number of digits. However, if the number of digits to be suppressed is greater than the  
data row, the data row will be drawn without zero suppression. Where the data row  
exceeds the maximum number of digits (40), the data row will not be drawn. When the  
font type is r, 51, 52, 53, 54 or 55, zero suppression is not designated. If it is designated,  
it is ignored, and the printer operates as if there was no designation.

If characters are not placed on one line when equal space and automatic line feed is  
designated, the following steps should be performed.  
Decrease the value of the character-to-character space. When characters are not placed  
on one line if the value is set to 0, return the value to its default, and then reduce the  
horizontal magnification for a character by 0.5.  
If characters are still not placed on one line, repeatedly decrease the value of the  
character-to-character space, and then reduce the horizontal magnification. When  
characters are not placed on one line if the character magnification is set to 0.5 and the  
character-to-character space is set to 0, the field is not drawn. (The same previous field  
is not drawn.)  
When “01”, “12”, “23”, or “30” is specified for the rotational angles of a character and  
character string, the alignment setting (Center, Right, Equal space, or Automatic line  
feed) is ignored.  
(13) Data string to be printed  
Drawing data can be programmed by designating the number of digits after the symbol  
“=.” Up to 255 digits can be printed. However, when the font type is “r”, the maximum  
number of digits is 127. If the number of digits exceeds the maximum value, the  
excessive data will be discarded.  
For the character code table, refer to chapter 12 “CHARACTER CODE TABLE”.

(14) Link field No.  
The link field No. can be programmed by designating it after the symbol “;”. After the link

Up to 20 fields can be linked.  
The following shows an example of linked fields on the two continuous labels.

Notes  
(1) The check digit attachment, increment/decrement, and zero suppress processes  
are performed according to the following priority. If any of the conditions are  
improper, no drawing will take place.  
For example, the zero(s) is replaced by a space(s) as a result of zero  
suppression but the modulus 10 designated to be attached cannot be  
calculated.  
Increment/decrement > zero suppression > attachment of check digit  
(2) Up to 32 fields for which incrementing/decrementing has been designated can be  
drawn. If the total bit map font, outline font, and bar code increment/decrement  
fields exceeds 32, drawing will take place without incrementing/decrementing any  
excessive field. The field to be incremented or decremented is incremented or  
decremented until the Image Buffer Clear Command ([ESC] C) is transmitted.  
[Example]  
1) Format Command (Increment character string No. 001 (+1))  
2) Format Command (No incrementing for character string No. 002)  
3) Format Command (Increment character string No. 003 (+2))

Command when transmitted.

(4) When the drawing data is changed per label issue during printing, the drawing  
data field for the previous label is automatically cleared using the character string  
number. Then the next drawing data is printed. Therefore, the character string  
number which differs according to the drawing fields should be designated. Since  
the automatic field clear is not performed between the Clear Command ([ESC] C)  
and Issue Command ([ESC] XS), the fixed data may be drawn using the same  
character string number. In this case, the Format Command and Data Command  
should be sent alternately. (After the Issue Command is sent, the fields with the  
same character string number are automatically cleared until the Clear Command  
is sent.)  
(5) The link field designation can be cleared by omitting the link field designation  
using the same character string No. and reformatting data.  
The link field designation can also be cleared by the Image Buffer Clear  
Command.  
(6) A print data string and the link field No. cannot be programmed at the same time.

spacing/proportional spacing determined for each character. If character-to-  
character space is specified, drawing will take place according to the value  
obtained by adding the character spacing/proportional spacing to the specified  
value. When equal space is selected for the alignment, the character-to-  
character space setting is invalid. (The horizontal spacing/proportional spacing  
are increased or decreased depending on the character size.)

designated and the data includes any data other than the numerals, the data row  
will not be drawn. When modulus 43 is designated and the data includes any  
character other than CODE39, the drawing is not performed.  
When DBP Modulus 10 is selected, the check digit of a data row is calculated and  
only the check digit is drawn. When the data includes any data other than the  
numerals, drawing is not performed.

The leading zero(s) in a data row is replaced by a space(s) according to the designated  
number of digits. However, if the number of digits to be suppressed is greater than the  
data row, the data row will be drawn without zero suppression. Where the data row  
exceeds the maximum number of digits (40), the data row will not be drawn.

If characters are not placed on one line when equal space is designated, the width is  
calculated automatically. When the width is less than the limit value (2 mm) for the  
outline font, the field is not drawn. (The same previous field is not drawn.)  
(12) Data string to be printed  
Drawing data can be programmed by designating the number of digits after the symbol  
“=.” Up to 255 digits can be printed. When the number of digits exceeds the maximum  
value, the excessive data will be discarded. For the character code table, refer to  
chapter 12 “CHARACTER CODE TABLE”.

The link field No. can be programmed by designating it after the symbol “;.” After the link  
field No. is designated using the Format Command, the data strings are linked by the Link  
Field Data Command to draw an image.  
Up to 20 fields can be linked.  
The following shows an example of linked fields on the two continuous labels.

Notes  
(1) The check digit attachment, increment/decrement, and zero suppress processes  
are performed according to the following priority. If any of the conditions are  
improper, no drawing will take place.  
For example, the zero(s) is replaced by a space(s) as a result of zero  
suppression but the modulus 10 designated to be attached cannot be calculated.  
Increment/decrement > zero suppression > attachment of check digit  
(2) Up to 32 fields for which incrementing/decrementing has been designated can be  
drawn. If the total bit map font, outline font, and bar code increment/decrement  
fields exceeds 32, drawing will take place without incrementing/decrementing any  
excessive field. The field to be incremented or decremented is incremented or  
decremented until the Image Buffer Clear Command ([ESC] C) is transmitted.

(4) When the drawing data is changed per label issue during printing, the drawing  
data field for the previous label is automatically cleared using the character string  
number, then the next drawing data is printed. Therefore, the character string  
number which differs according to the drawing fields should be designated.  
Since the automatic field clear is not performed between the Clear Command  
([ESC] C) and Issue Command ([ESC] XS), the fixed data may be drawn using the  
same character string number. In this case, the Format Command and Data  
Command should be sent alternately. (After the Issue Command is sent, the  
fields with the same character string number are automatically cleared until the  
Clear Command is sent.)  
(5) When characters overlap due to the character-to-character space fine adjustment,  
the outline font is not painted properly. Program the fine adjustment value so  
that characters will not overlap. Also, when drawings such as lines or characters  
are on the outline font drawing position, the outline font is not painted properly.  
For font types A and B, the fine adjustment value should be set so that other  
drawings do not overlap the area in which the outline font is to be drawn. For  
font types E, F and G, the fine adjustment value should be set so that other  
drawings do not overlap the area for the designated character width and height.  
(6) The link field designation can be cleared by omitting the link field designation  
using the same character string No. and reformatting data.  
The link field designation can also be cleared by the Image Buffer Clear  
Command.  
(7) A print data string and the link field No. cannot be programmed at the same time.

Explanation  
(1) The parameter, “Number of bytes to be read”, is effective only when RFID read  
mode is set to 1 or 3, as this parameter is intended for reading user data. When  
reading tag ID, this parameter is ignored.  
(2) When the value exceeding the maximum number of bytes storable in a tag is  
designated for “Number of bytes to be read”, a read error results.  
(3) With RFID (data read) being specified by this command, when an RFID data read  
failed, the printer will retry to read data after sending a void pattern printing end  
status (60H) or result in an error and stop after sending an RFID write error status  
(61H).

c Where no check digit is attached, the bar code of the data row will be drawn.  
d In the case of the check digit check, if each check digit checked according to  
the type of bar code is normal, the bar code will be drawn. If the check digit  
not meeting the requirement is designated, the bar code will not be drawn.  
e In the case of the check digit auto attachment, each check digit is attached  
according to the type of bar code and the bar code is drawn.  
f If the type of bar code is CODE93, CODE128 (with auto code selection), or  
UCC/EAN128, the check digit will always be attached regardless of the  
designation of the type of check digit.  
g If the type of bar code is JAN, EAN, or UPC, the designation of no check digit  
attachment automatically assumes the check digit check.

(5) Bar width, space width, and character-to-character space  
Designate the bar, space, and character-to-character space widths according to  
the type of bar code. Note that the designated proper value differs according to  
the rotational angle of bar code, type, number of digits, print speed, paper used,  
etc. Examples of such designations are listed below. (1 dot = 1/12 mm)  
In the case of JAN, EAN, UPC, CODE93, CODE128, UCC/EAN128, PDF417, or  
MicroPDF417, a 2 to 6-module width is automatically calculated when a 1-module  
width is designated.

Letters and numerals for increment/decrement  
For CODE39 (standard), CODE39 (full ASCII), NW-7, CODE93, CODE128, if a data  
string other than numerals are included in the data, increment/decrement is  
performed. If any code which does not exist in each bar code table is contained in  
the data, increment/decrement is not performed.  
Up to 40 digits (including letters, numerals, and symbols) are possible. Only the  
numerals are selected and calculated for incrementing/decrementing, and then are  
returned to the previous position to draw the data.

Example of increment/decrement of data including the special codes of CODE128  
Increment/decrement calculation starts from the last digit in the data strings. When  
the data string to be calculated is numeric, and the next (upper) digit is “>”, the data is  
a special code (shown with underline below). The next digit is calculated without  
incrementing/decrementing these two digits.

The leading zero(s) in a data row is replaced by a space(s) according to the designated  
number of digits. However, if the number of digits to be suppressed is greater than the  
data row, the data row will be drawn without zero suppression. Where the data row  
exceeds the maximum number of digits (40), the data row will not be drawn.  
When the print data including start/stop codes are sent to sending print data, the  
start/stop codes are also counted as a digit each. When the bar code type is JAN, EAN,  
UPC, or UCC/EAN 128, the data will be drawn without zero suppression.  
(13) Data string to be printed  
Drawing data can be programmed by designating the number of digits after the symbol  
“=.” The maximum number of digits to be printed varies according to the types of bar  
codes. For codes, refer chapter 13 “BAR CODE TABLE”.  
(14) Link field No.  
The link field No. can be programmed by designating it after the symbol “;.” After the link  
field No. is designated using the Format Command, the data string are linked by the Link  
Field Data Command to draw an image.  
Up to 20 fields can be linked.  
The following shows an example of linked fields on the two continuous labels.

(15) Explanation for Data Matrix  
c ECC type  
Data Matrix contains a function to correct a code reading error using an error  
correction code (ECC) and restore normal data. Since there are several ECCs.  
ECC should be designated according to usage. The general correction ability is as  
follows. However, it may vary according to the error conditions.

d Format ID  
Data Matrix can handle all codes including alphanumerics, symbols and Kanji. Since  
data compression rate varies according to codes, a code to be used is designated  
using the format ID.

f Connection setting  
The connection setting is used to comprise data with a set of two-dimensional codes  
when the data cannot be expressed with a two-dimensional code. When three two-  
dimensional codes are used to comprise data, identification information of 1/3, 2/3,  
and 3/3 is inserted into each two-dimensional code. The ID number is programmed  
to include a proper combination of two-dimensional codes when one label contains  
plural connecting symbols. For example, when there are two kinds of data  
containing identification information for 1/2 and 2/2 in the same label, combination of  
two-dimensional codes is unclear. By adding the ID number, the combination is  
made clearer.

(16) Explanation for the PDF417 and MicroPDF417  
c Security level  
The PDF417 contains a function to correct a code reading error using an error  
correcting code word and restore normal data. The security level should be  
designated according to usage to perform the error correction function.  
For the MicroPDF417, the printer sets the security level automatically.

d No. of columns (strings)  
The number of rows are variable in the PDF417. The row length (No. of data strings)  
is also variable. Therefore, a symbol can be created in a form that can be easily  
printed, by changing the proportion of the height and width.  
The number of columns (data strings) is varied between 1 and 30.  
If the number of columns is too small when th data amount is large and the security  
level is high, drawing may not be performed. This is because the number of rows  
exceeds 90 when the number of columns becomes small. (When the PDF417 is  
used, the number of rows of symbols is limited from 3 to 90.)  
For the MicroPDF417, not only the number of columns (data strings) but also the  
number of rows (data lines) can be designated. When these are to be designated,  
see the table on page 100. Note that the max. number of digits for the set parameter  
(gg) varies according to the character type. If data over the max. number of digits for  
the set parameter (gg) is set, the bar code is not printed. The number of columns  
(data strings) is varied from 1 to 4.  
However, the max. number of lines, which is 44, depends on the number of columns.  
(17) Explanation for QR code  
c Error correction level  
The QR code contains functions to detect and correct an error. If one of the data  
characters is damaged, the information can be restored when this code is read.  
There are 4 levels that can be designated. The level should be specified according  
to usage. The general correction ability is as follows.

d 1-cell width  
1-cell width  
1-cell width  
When the 1-cell width is 0, a two-dimensional code is not drawn. However, the two-  
dimensional code printed on the previous label is cleared.  
e Selection of mode  
All codes including alphanumerics, symbols, and Kanji can be used in one QR code.  
Manual mode or automatic mode can be selected to perform the operation.  
f Selection of model  
Model 1: Original specification  
Model 2: Extended specification which enhances the function of position correction  
and can contain a large amount of data.  
g Mask number  
To be sure the QR code is read, it is preferable that white and black modules are  
arranged in this symbol in a balanced manner. This prevents the bit pattern  
“1011101”, which is characteristically seen in the position detecting pattern, from  
appearing in the symbol as much as possible.  
The mask number is 0 to 7. The pattern is determined by placing each masking  
pattern for the mask number upon the module pattern. When the mask number is set  
to 8, masking is not performed. When the parameter is omitted, the most appropriate  
mask number is automatically selected to perform masking.  
h Connection setting  
For QR code, data can be divided into several codes. Even though there is only a  
narrow print space, the code can be entered in the space by dividing the code. The  
data can be divided into a max. of 16 codes. Parity data is obtained by XORing all  
input data in units of bytes before dividing. The input data is calculated based on  
shift JIS for Kanji, or on JIS 8 for others. Examples are shown below:  
“0123456789  
” is divided into “0123”, “4567”, and “89  
”.  
Code No. 1  
Code No. 2  
Code No. 3  
No. of divided codes: 3  
Parity data: 84

Parity data: 84  
Data “0123”  
Data “4567”  
Data “89  
No. of divided codes: 3  
No. of divided codes: 3  
* The parity data is the XORed value for “0123456789  
”.

(19) Explanation for CP code  
c ECC (Error Correction Code) level  
The CP code contains a function to correct a code reading error using an error  
correcting code word and restore normal data. The error correction level should be  
selected according to usage to perform the error correction function.  
The higher the percentage of the error correcting code word is, the higher the error  
correcting ability is.  
For the CP code, the program is designed so that all remaining areas are used for  
correcting errors when the number of code characters is specified by a user. When  
the number of code characters is specified, “0” (No designation) can be used.  
When the number of code characters is not specified by the user, a value from 10 to  
50% must be selected. The printer automatically determines the number of code  
characters so that the error correcting code word exceeds the percentage specified by  
the user.  
d The number of bits per character  
Data is compressed by using the 8-bit compression method. If “0” is specified, the  
data is compressed in the same way.  
Character set for 8 bits  
8 bits: ISO 00H to FFH (for Kanji)  
e The number of code characters  
For the CP code, a 3×3 cell is used for one block, and the block set forms the CP  
code.  
The numbers of characters in the X and Y directions can be set by the user.  
If “0” is specified, the printer automatically sets the smallest code size in which data  
set by the user can be contained.  
The rectangular code can be specified. The value for the Y direction must be smaller  
than the X direction.  
The number of cells for the code is as follows.  
(No. of code characters) × 3 + 2  
(20) Explanation for RFID  
c The number of bytes to be written  
.The number of bytes to be written on the tag depends on the type of tag.  
d Sequence of writing data on the RFID tag  
Data is written on the RFID tag prior to printing. When +3-mm or more feed, or a –3-  
mm or less feed has been set in the @003 command, the printer performs a  
forward/reverse feed before printing, according to the command setting.  
When writing data onto the RFID tag succeeds, the printer feeds the paper in the  
direction opposite to the feed performed before data write, and then starts printing.  
If writing data fails, and when the parameter of RFID adjustment for retry has been set  
to +3mm or more, or –3mm or less in the system mode, the printer performs a  
forward/reverse feed again and retries to write data.  
If writing data failed again, the printer prints the void pattern on that paper to abandon  
it, and retries the next tag up to the max. number of RFID issue retries.

e Writing binary data on RFID tags  
When writing binary data on RFID tags, the data is specified by attaching a ‘>’. Or,  
the data is converted to binary format when “conversion to binary” is designated for  
the data type, and converted to hexadecimal format when “conversion to  
hexadecimal” is designated for the data type. In the case of binary format, only ‘0’  
and ‘1’ are used. In the case of hexadecimal format, ‘0’ to ‘F’ are used.  
(Example) To specify “00H01H02H”  
No conversion:  
>@>A>B  
Conversion to binary:  
Conversion to hexadecimal:  
000000000000000100000010  
000102  
For details, refer to Chapter 13 BAR CODE TABLE.  
f On-the-fly issue  
When “On-the-fly issue” is enabled for RFID write, a data write time depends on the  
start point, the end point, and the print speed. If that time is shorter than the time  
required to write data onto an RFID tag (300 msec.), the printer will not perform the  
on-the-fly issue. When a write error occurs during the on-the-fly issue, the printer will  
feed the paper backward and print the void pattern on it. When the printer has no  
ribbon saving module, the RFID tag paper may be jammed at the print head during a  
reverse feed. Even if the printer includes a ribbon saving module, care must be  
taken not to cause a paper jam during strip issue.  
Success rate of data write onto RFID tags is high when the print speed is as slow as 3  
inches/sec. Even if the on-the-fly issue is enabled, it may take much time to issue  
RFID tag paper because the printer will feed the paper backward when an error  
occurs. Therefore, the total throughput could be higher when the print condition is  
set so that the on-the-fly issue is not performed, RFID data is written prior to printing  
and print speed is 10 inches/sec.  
g U-Code V1.19 and EPC format  
When U-Code V1.19 or EPC format is designated, data will be written onto an RFID  
tag in the format of its own.  
Data is all specified with numbers, and no partitions are inserted between the fields.  
When U-Code V1.19 and EPC format are designated and both designations are  
incorrect, U-Code V1.19 takes precedence over the EPC format.  
When U-Code V1.19 or EPC format is designated and the number of input digits of  
print data string is different from the size of the data to be formatted for the designated  
format, only the input data of designated size is formatted.  
When a format is designated and data other than the one supported by the format,  
which has designated data string to be printed, is designated, a variable value is  
written.  
h Data type  
When “conversion to binary” or “conversion to hexadecimal” is designated for the data  
type and the number of digits of print data string is less than that for the data type  
designated, the remaining digits are filled with “0”, then an RFID write is performed.  
This also applies when a link field is designated. Each field must designate 1-byte  
data. If data of less than 1 byte is designated, shortfall of data must be filled with “0”  
and an RFID write is performed.

i Designation of access password registration and kill password registration  
When registration of access password or kill password fails, a registration error will  
result and the printer prints the void pattern.  
This setting is effective only for the EPC Class 1 Generation 2 tag type and is ignored  
for other tag types. This setting may not be effective for some of the EPC Class 1  
Generation 2 tags.  
j Lock/unlock setting  
This setting is effective only for the EPC Class 1 Generation 2 tag type and is ignored  
for other tag types. This setting may not be effective for some of the EPC Class 1  
Generation 2 tags.  
k Access to the password-protected tags  
When “Access to the password-protected tags” is designated for an RFID write, the  
printer prints the void pattern if an access password for the RFID write does not match  
with the access password designated. Note that data can be written even onto  
password-protected tags when a designation of “Access to the password-protected  
tags” is omitted, but an access password cannot be registered when “Access to the  
password-protected tags” is designated.  
This setting is effective only for the EPC Class 1 Generation 2 tag type and is ignored  
for other tag types. This setting may not be effective for some of the EPC Class 1  
Generation 2 tags.

Notes  
(1) The check digit attachment, increment/decrement, and zero suppress processes are  
performed according to the following priority. If any of the conditions is improper, no  
drawing will take place.  
For example, the zero(s) is replaced by a space(s) as a result of zero suppression but  
the modulus 10 designated to be attached cannot be calculated.  
Increment/decrement > zero suppression > attachment of check digit  
(2) Up to 32 fields for which incrementing/decrementing has been designated can be drawn. If  
the total bit map font, outline font, and bar code increment/decrement fields exceeds 32,  
drawing will take place without incrementing/decrementing any excessive field. The field to  
be incremented or decremented is incremented or decremented until the Image Buffer Clear  
Command ([ESC] C) is transmitted.  
[Example]  
c Format Command (Increment bar code No. 01 (+1))  
d Format Command (Increment bar code No. 02 (+2))

B02; 0350, 0150, 3, 1, 02, 02, 06, 06, 02, 0, 0150 [LF] [NUL]  
(4) When the drawing data is changed per label issue during printing, the field of the drawing  
data for the previous label is automatically cleared using the bar code number, then the next  
drawing data is printed. Therefore, the bar code number which differs according to the  
drawing fields should be designated. Since the automatic field clear is not performed  
between the Clear Command ([ESC] C) and Issue Command ([ESC] XS), the fixed data  
may be drawn using the same bar code number. In this case, the Format Command and  
Data Command should be sent alternately. (After the Issue Command is sent, the fields  
with the same bar code number are automatically cleared until the Clear Command is sent.)  
(5) The link field designation is cleared by omitting the link field designation using the same bar  
code No. and reformatting data.  
The link field designation can also be cleared by the Image Buffer Clear Command.  
(6) A print data string and the link field No. cannot be programmed at the same time.

Note:If the Bit Map Font Data Command is sent without entering any data string for the  
specified character string number (e.g. [ESC]RC00;[LF][NUL]), the previous data  
string of the same character string number (No. 00 in the case of the above  
example) is deleted.  
Explanation  
(1) Link field data string  
• After the link field No. is designated in the Format Command, data strings are  
linked using the Link Field Data Command to draw an image.  
• Up to 255 digits of data strings can be linked. However, when the font type is  
r, 51, 52, 53, 54, or 55, only up to 127 digits can be linked.  
When the number of digits exceeds the maximum value, excess data will be  
discarded.  
• Up to 99 data strings can be linked.  
• Up to 2048 bytes can be used as the command length ([ESC] to [NUL]) of the  
Link Field Data Command.  
• When the data string is omitted in the Link Field Data Command, the following  
process is performed:  
c No process will be performed for the field which contains no print data due  
to the omission.  
d When the field partially loses print data due to the omission, the only  
remaining data will be processed as print data.  
• The Link Field Data Command can be used for the bit map font fields, outline  
font fields, and bar code fields.  
(The same result is obtained when any of the “RC,” “RV” or “RB” command  
code is designated.)

Character string number  
00 to 99  
bbb ------ bbb: Data string to be printed  
Max. 255 digits  
Any excess data will be discarded.  
For the character codes, refer to chapter 12 “CHARACTER CODE  
TABLE”.  
ccc ------ ccc: Data string of link field No. 1  
ddd ------ ddd: Data string of link field No. 2  
to  
xxx ------ xxx: Data string of link field No. 99  
Note:If the Outline Font Data Command is sent without entering any data string for the  
specified character string number (e.g. [ESC]RV00;[LF][NUL]), the previous data  
string of the same character string number (No. 00 in the case of the above  
example) is deleted.  
Explanation  
(1) Link field data string  
• After the link field No. is designated in the Format Command, data strings are  
linked using the Link Field Data Command to draw an image.  
• Up to 255 digits of data strings can be linked. Data exceeding the max.  
number of digits will be discarded.  
• Up to 99 data strings can be linked.  
• Up to 2048 bytes can be used as the command length ([ESC] to [NUL]) of the  
Link Field Data Command.  
• When the data string is omitted in the Link Field Data Command, the following  
process is performed:  
c No process will be performed for the field which contains no print data due to  
the omission.  
d When the field partially loses print data due to the omission, the only  
remaining data will be processed as print data.  
• The Link Field Data Command can be used for the bit map font fields, outline  
font fields, and bar code fields.  
(The same result is obtained when any of the “RC,” “RV” or “RB” command  
code is designated.)

6.3.13 BAR CODE DATA COMMAND  
[ESC] RB  
Function  
Format  
Provides data for the bar code.  
c [ESC] RBaa; bbb ------ bbb [LF] [NUL]  
d Link Field Data Command  
[ESC] RB; ccc ------ ccc [LF] ddd ------ ddd [LF] ------ [LF] xxx ------ xxx [LF] [NUL]  
Term  
aa:  
Bar code number  
00 to 31  
bbb ------ bbb: Data string to be printed  
The maximum number of digits varies according to the type of bar code.  
ccc ------ ccc: Data string of link field No. 1  
ddd ------ ddd: Data string of link field No. 2  
to  
xxx ------ xxx: Data string of link field No. 99  
The Data Command for the MaxiCode is described later.  
Explanation  
(1) Data check  
If there is data in the data row, which does not meet the type of bar code, the bar  
code will not be drawn. If wrong code selection takes place in the data row of  
CODE128 (without auto code selection), the bar code will not be drawn.  
If there is data different from the one designated using the format ID when Data  
Matrix is used, the symbol is not drawn.  
If the Bar Code Data Command is sent without entering any data string for the  
specified bar code number (e.g. [ESC]RB00;[LF][NUL]), the previous data string of  
the same bar code number (No. 00 in the case of the above example) is deleted.  
In the case of the bar code type of which data length is specified (e.g. Binary mode  
of QR code), the previously drawn bar code cannot be deleted just by setting the  
data length to zero. To delete the previous bar code, be sure to send the  
command without entering any data string.  
(2) No. of digits of data  
When data exceeding the maximum number of digits is sent, the excess data will  
be discarded. For the maximum number of digits for each bar code, see below.  
Data Matrix, PDF417, QR code:  
CP code:  
2000 digits  
473 digits  
366 digits  
93 digits  
MicroPDF417:  
MaxiCode:  
Customer bar code:  
Highest priority customer bar code:  
POSTNET:  
20 digits  
19 digits  
5, 9, 11 digits  
ROYAL MAIL 4 STATE CUSTOMER CODE: 12 digits  
KIX CODE:  
18 digits  
Bar codes other than the above  
126 digits  
When the number of digits does not correspond to the bar code type, the bar code  
is not drawn.  
For the MaxiCode, the maximum number of digits varies according to the mode.  
In mode 2 or 3 and mode 4 or 6, the maximum number of digits is 84 and 93,  
respectively.

The maximum number of digits for Data Matrix varies according to the settings for  
ECC type, format ID, and the cell size. In the case of Kanji, the maximum number  
of digits is half those of the values described below since a Kanji character  
occupies 2 bytes.

When PDF417 or MicroPDF417 is used, the number of symbol characters called  
code words is limited to 928 or less. Moreover, the data compression rate varies  
according to the contents of data. Therefore, the maximum number of digits  
according to modes is as follows.  
When letters and numerics are mixed in data in EXC mode, for example, the  
maximum values become smaller than the values below, since the internal mode  
selection code is used.  
To correct a reading error by designating the security level, the maximum value  
becomes smaller, since the error correction code words below are used.  
When the number of the code words exceeds 928, or when the number of rows  
exceeds 90, the symbols are not drawn.  
For the MicroPDF417, the numbers of rows and columns can be specified.  
The maximum number of digits varies according to the setting.  
In the case of PDF417  
• Extended Alphanumeric Compaction (EXC) mode: 1850 digits  
• Binary/ASCII Plus mode:  
• Numeric compaction mode:  
1108 digits  
2000 digits  
In the case of MicroPDF417  
• Binary mode:  
150 digits  
250 digits  
366 digits  
• Upper case letter/space mode:  
• Numeric compaction mode:  
For the MicroPDF417, the printer  
sets the security level automatically.

(3) CODE128 code selection  
In the case of CODE128 (with auto code selection), code selection is performed in  
the following manner. (Conforming to USS-128 APPENDIX-G)  
c Determining the start character  
(a) If the data begins with four or more consecutive numerals, the start code  
to be used is (CODE C).  
(b) In any case other than (a) in c, if a control character appears before a  
small letter (see f.) or four or more consecutive numerals, the start code  
is (CODE A).  
(c) In none of the above cases, the start code is (CODE B).  
d If the data begins with an odd number of digits in (a), c:  
(a) Insert the (CODE A) or (CODE B) character just before the last numeric  
data. When (FNC1), if found in the number, breaks a pair of digits in the  
number, insert the (CODE A) or (CODE B) character before the numeric  
data preceding the (FNC1). Selection of (CODE A) or (CODE B) should  
conform to (b) and (c) in c.  
e If four or more digits of numeric data continue in (CODE A) or (CODE B).  
(a) When the numeric data is an even number of digits, insert the (CODE C)  
character just before the first numeric data.  
(b) When the numeric data is an odd number of digits, insert the (CODE C)  
character immediately after the first numeric data.  
f If a control character appears in (CODE B):  
(a) In the subsequent data, when a small letter appears before the next  
control character or four or more consecutive digits, insert the (SHIFT)  
character before the first control character.  
(b) When not so, insert the (CODE B) character just before the first control  
character.  
g If a small letter appears in (CODE A):  
(a) In the subsequent data, when a control character appears before the next  
small letter or four or more consecutive digits, insert the (SHIFT)  
character before the first small letter.  
(b) When not so, insert the (CODE B) character just before the first small  
letter.  
h If any data other than the numerals appears in (CODE C):  
(a) Insert the (CODE A) or (CODE B) character just before the data other  
than the numerals. Selection of (CODE A) or (CODE B) should conform  
to (b) and (c) in c.

(4) CODE128 code selection check  
Check if selection of (CODE A), (CODE B), or (CODE C) of CODE128 has been  
set correctly. If an error is found, the bar code will not be drawn.  
[Conditions causing an error]  
c No start code is designated.  
d A small letter (including { , | , } , ~, _ ) is found in (CODE A).  
e A control character is found in (CODE B).  
f Any data other than the numerals, (FNC1), (CODE A), and (CODE B) is found  
in (CODE C).  
g There are two or more consecutive (SHIFT) characters.  
h The number in (CODE C) is an odd number of digits.  
i (SHIFT) is followed by (CODE A), (CODE B) or (CODE C).  
(5) Kanji code selection  
• In the case of Data Matrix, PDF417, and QR code, Kanji codes can be printed.  
Shift JIS, JIS hexadecimal, JIS 8 codes can be mixed.  
(6) Link field data string  
• After the link field No. is designated in the Format Command, data strings are  
linked using the Link Field Data Command to draw an image.  
• Up to 2000 digits of data strings of Data Matrix and PDF417 can be linked.  
For other bar codes, up to 126 digits can be linked. (The value varies  
according to the type of bar code.)  
When the number of digits exceeds the maximum value, excess data will be  
discarded.  
• Up to 99 data strings can be linked.  
• Up to 2048 bytes can be used as the command length ([ESC] to [NUL]) of the  
Link Field Data Command.  
• When the data string is omitted in the Link Field Data Command, the following  
process is performed:  
c No process will be performed for the field which contains no print data due to  
the omission.  
d When the field partially loses print data due to the omission, the only  
remaining data will be processed as print data.  
• The Link Field Data Command can be used for the bit map font fields, outline  
font fields, and bar code fields.  
(The same result is obtained when any of the “RC,” “RV”, or “RB” command  
code is designated.)

NOTES: 1. When anything other than numerics is included in the data string of zip  
code (mode 2), zip code extension, class of service, or country code, a  
MaxiCode is not drawn.  
2. If the message data is less than 84 digits when mode 2 or 3 is selected,  
the printer adds a CR (000000) at the end of the data, and the remaining  
digits will be padded with FSs (011100).  
When message data  
exceeding 84 digits is received, the excess data will be discarded before  
drawing a MaxiCode.  
3. If the message data is less than 93 digits (9 digits + 84 digits) when  
mode 4 or 6 is selected, the printer adds a CR (000000) at the end of the  
data, and the remaining digits will be padded with FSs (011100). When  
message data exceeding 93 digits is received, the excess data will be  
discarded before drawing a MaxiCode.  
4. Mode 6 should not be used for usual operation since it is used for  
scanner programming.  
5. When “TYPE2: Special specification” is set for MaxiCode specification  
setting in the system mode and when Mode 2 is selected, the country  
code must be 840. Otherwise, a MaxiCode will not be printed.  
6. When “TYPE2: Special specification” is set for MaxiCode specification  
setting in the system mode and when Mode 3 is selected, the country  
code must be other than 840. Otherwise, a MaxiCode will not be  
printed.

Explanation  
(1) Number of labels to be issued  
c If increment/decrement is not specified, the designated number of pieces with  
the same drawing data will be issued.  
d If increment/decrement is specified, the designated number of pieces will be  
issued while incrementing/decrementing the piece of the designated drawing  
area.  
* The increment/decrement designation is valid until the Image Buffer Clear  
Command ([ESC] C) is transmitted.  
(2) Cut interval  
The cut interval is valid only when the cutter has been installed and the issue  
mode is “C”. If an error occurs during an issue after the cut interval is  
designated, and then printing is restarted, the printer ejects the printed paper, then  
resumes printing on the paper where the error occurred.  
If no subsequent command is received from the PC for 1 second after issuing the  
last label, the printer automatically performs an approximately 13.7-mm forward  
feed. However, if the label pitch length is 20 mm or less, the edge of the label is  
caught on the head, when the label is fed back to the home position. Therefore,  
even if the automatic forward feed standby is specified, a forward feed is not  
performed.  
When receiving the Issue Command during the automatic forward feed standby,  
the printer starts an issue after a reverse feed to the original position.  
If any command is sent and processed after the Issue Command is sent, the  
automatic forward feed is not performed. Therefore, a command should not be  
sent after the Issue Command is sent. The power should not be turned off then  
on, or the printer should not be placed in a pause/reset state before the automatic  
forward feed, since the automatic forward feed is not performed when the paper is  
fed by turning the power off then on, or by pressing the [FEED] key of the printer  
in the pause/reset state.  
If the paper is fed by pressing the [FEED] key of the printer during the forward  
feed standby, the printer feeds one label, cuts, performs the automatic forward  
feed then stops.  
When writing data onto the RFID tag failed and the void pattern is printed, the  
paper including the void one is cut at the specified cut interval.  
(3) Type of sensor  
c No sensor: Printing takes place according to the parameter designated by the  
Label Size Set Command.  
d Reflective sensor:  
Printing takes place according to the parameter designated by the Label Size  
Set Command. However, the black mark provided on the back side of the  
tag paper is automatically sensed by the reflective sensor and the paper  
position is finely adjusted for every piece.  
e Transmissive sensor (when using normal labels):  
Printing takes place according to the parameter designated by the Label Size  
Set Command. However, the label-to-label gap is automatically sensed by  
the transmissive sensor and the paper position is finely adjusted for every  
piece.  
f Transmissive sensor (when using preprinted labels):  
Printing takes place according to the parameter designated by the Label Size  
Set Command. However, the label-to-label gap is automatically sensed by  
the transmissive sensor and the paper position is finely adjusted for every  
piece according to the value set by the threshold setting operation (key  
operation).

g Reflective sensor (when using a manual threshold value)  
Printing takes place according to the parameters designated by the Label Size  
Set Command. However, the black mark provided on the back of the tag  
paper is automatically sensed by the reflective sensor and the paper position  
is finely adjusted for every piece, according to the value set by the threshold

(5) Issue speed  
• Printing takes place at the designated speed.  
However, the back feed speed in cut mode and strip mode is 3 ips. This back  
feed speed can be changed from 3 ips to 2 ips in the system mode.  
• For B-SX4T, the print speed “10 ips” is not supported for printing with the rotary  
cutter. If “10 ips” is specified when the rotary cutter has been installed, the  
print speed is corrected from 10 ips to 6 ips, regardless of the cut designation.  
• The possible issue speed varies according to types and sizes of the paper  
supply. For details, refer to the Supply Specification.

(6) With/without ribbon  
Without ribbon: Use direct thermal paper.  
With ribbon: Use thermal transfer ribbon.  
With ribbon saving:  
• When there is a non-print area (in the feed direction) of 20 mm or more (30 mm  
or more at 10 ips for the B-SX4T) in the batch mode, cut mode or strip mode,  
ribbon saving is performed automatically.  
• The minimum print area (in the feed direction) in ribbon saving issue is 8 mm.  
If the print area is less than 8 mm, printing is performed by automatically  
assuming the minimum print area of 8 mm.  
• Ribbon saving is performed for up to 4 fields (Max: 4 printing fields + 4 ribbon  
saving fields).  
• When the parameter in the Issue Command is set to “Without ribbon saving  
function”, or the ribbon saving system is set in the system mode so that it is not  
used, no ribbon saving will take place.  
NOTES: 1. To use the ribbon saving function, it is necessary to select the parameter  
depending on the head lever position. This selection is performed by the  
parameter settings in the system mode.  
Head lever position is “TAG”:  
Select “RBN SAVE ON(TAG)”  
Head lever position is “LABEL”: Select “RBN SAVE ON(LBL)”  
Incorrect selection may disable the proper ribbon saving function.  
When the head lever position is “TAG” and solenoid type is TYPE1, the  
thermal head is pulled up with strong power. So, depending on the area in  
which the ribbon is saved and the number of fields, the head-up solenoid  
temperature may be raised and the ribbon saving function may not be able to  
work. Therefore, when the area in which the ribbon is to be saved exceeds  
the specified value, the ribbon saving length is automatically shortened, as  
described on the following page, to prevent the temperature from being raised,  
even if the above conditions are satisfied.  
2. If the ribbon saving module has not been installed, when the parameter in the  
Issue Command is set to “With ribbon saving function”, or the ribbon saving  
system is set in the system mode so that it is used, the ribbon will sag during  
printing.  
Without ribbon (with head up function): Use direct thermal paper. When there  
is a non-print area, the print head is raised in the same way with the ribbon save  
function.

(8) Status response  
When the option with status response has been selected, a status response is  
made at the end of printing or if an error occurs.  
In the batch mode and the cut mode, the print end status response is made after  
printing on the designated number of labels.  
In the strip mode, the status response is made after printing one label.  
* Do not change the parameter for status response/no status response during  
printing. Otherwise the status response may not be performed properly.

(2) Cut/non-cut  
This option is valid in the batch feed mode only. (Non-cut is selected in the strip  
mode.) If no subsequent command is received from the PC for 1 second when  
the automatic forward feed is set to ON, the printer automatically performs an  
approximately 13.7-mm forward feed.  
When the Feed Command is received in the forward feed standby state, the  
printer performs a reverse feed to the original position.  
* For notes, refer to the section regarding the Issue Command.

(2) The parameter of the Feed Command is protected in memory (even if the power is  
turned off).  
(3) When “status response made” is selected in the Issue Command parameter  
setting, a status response is made after the end of feed or when an error occurs.  
(4) For explanation about the process to stop the label at the home position, refer to  
the section regarding the Issue Command.  
(5) If no subsequent command is received from the PC for 1 second after the last  
label has been fed, the printer automatically performs an approximately 13.7-mm  
forward feed when “Automatic forward feed standby” is set to ON in the system  
mode. When the Feed Command is received during the forward feed standby,  
the printer feeds the label in reverse to the original position, and then ejects it.

0: Head up function is not performed.  
1: Head up function is performed.  
Notes  
(1) When the [FEED] key is pressed on the printer, one label is fed, and then fed by  
the forward feed value automatically if the Forward Feed Command has already  
been transmitted.  
(2) The Forward/Reverse Feed Command is protected in memory (even if the power is  
turned off).  
(3) The Forward/Reverse Feed Command is ignored in the strip mode and the cut  
issue mode.  
(4) The Forward/Reverse Feed Command feeds the label without ribbon saving even  
if the ribbon saving issue is designated.  
(5) The forward feed is performed at the speed designated by the Issue Command or  
Feed Command. The reverse feed is performed at 3 ips. This reverse feed  
speed can be changed from 3 ips to 2 ips in the system mode.  
(6) There may be cases, where a specified length of a reverse feed is not performed,  
depending on the print conditions. In issues where any paper sensor is used, if  
the label pitch length is almost the same as the distance between the thermal print  
head and the paper sensors (75.5 mm), a label/tag may not be returned to the first  
print position, even when the same value is specified for both a forward feed and a  
reverse feed. It may result in an error. In such cases, to prevent an error from  
occurring, the reverse feed length should be set to a value larger than the forward  
feed value.

6.3.18 STORAGE AREA ALLOCATE COMMAND  
[ESC] XF  
For the firmware before V5.0  
Function  
Format  
Term  
Allocates the storage area in flash ROM on the CPU board.  
[ESC] XF; aa, bb, cc [LF] [NUL]  
aa: Size of the TrueType font storage area  
00 to 14 (0 KB to 896 KB)  
(in units of 64 KB)  
bb: Size of bit map writable character storage area  
00 to 14 (0 KB to 896 KB)  
(in units of 64 KB)  
cc: Size of BASIC file storage area  
00 to 14 (0 KB to 896 KB)  
(in units of 64 KB)  
AA: The current BASIC file storage area and contents are retained.  
Explanation  
(1) The storage area in flash ROM has a total capacity of 896 KB.  
In case that the size of BASIC file storage area is set in a range of “00” to “14”:  
(2) When this command is received, the entire area in flash ROM on the CPU board is  
cleared.  
(3) If this command is not sent, the storage area in flash ROM on the CPU board  
cannot be used.  
(4) The storage areas are allocated in the following order of precedence – the  
TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the  
BASIC file storage area. After these storage areas are allocated, the remaining  
area is used for the PC save area.  
(5) If the sum of the TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character  
storage area, and the BASIC file storage area, specified by this command, is 896  
KB, the TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area,  
and the BASIC file storage area are allocated as specified, respectively. In this  
case, however, there is no PC save area.  
(6) If the sum of TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage  
area, and the BASIC file storage area, specified by this command, exceeds 896  
KB, the TrueType font storage area is allocated as specified with the highest  
priority. Then, the remaining area is allocated to the bit map writable character  
storage area. If there is still remaining area after the TrueType font storage area  
and the bit map writable character storage area are allocated, it is used for the  
BASIC file storage area. There is no PC save area.  
(7) When “00” (0 KB) is specified for each of the TrueType font storage area, the bit  
map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area, the storage  
area is not allocated.  
(8) When “14” (896 KB) is specified for any of the TrueType font storage area, the bit  
map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area, the entire  
storage areas are occupied by that area. For example, if “14” is specified for the  
TrueType Font storage area, the entire storage areas are used for the TrueType  
Font storage area. The bit map writable character storage area, the BASIC file  
storage area, and the PC save area cannot be allocated.

In case that the size of BASIC file storage area is set to “AA”:  
(9) When this command is received, the BASIC file storage area is reserved and the  
other areas in flash ROM on the CPU board are cleared.  
(10) If this command is not sent, the storage area in flash ROM on the CPU board  
cannot be used.  
If “AA” is set for the size of the BASIC file storage area with the BASIC file storage  
area being unallocated, the BASIC file storage area remains unallocated.  
(11) The storage areas except for the BASIC file storage area are allocated in the  
following order of precedence – the TrueType font storage area, and the bit map  
writable character storage area. After these storage areas are allocated, the  
remaining area is used for the PC save area.  
(12) If the sum of the TrueType font storage area and the bit map writable character  
storage area, specified by this command, is the size of ‘896 KB minus the BASIC  
file storage area size’, the TrueType font storage area and the bit map writable  
character storage area are allocated as specified. In this case, however, there is  
no PC save area.  
(13) If the sum of TrueType font storage area and the bit map writable character  
storage area, specified by this command, exceeds the size of ‘896 KB minus the  
BASIC file storage area size’, the TrueType font storage area is allocated as  
specified with the highest priority. Then, the remaining area is allocated to the bit  
map writable character storage area. There is no PC save area.  
(14) When “00” (0 KB) is specified for each of the TrueType font storage area and the  
bit map writable character storage area, the storage area is not allocated.  
(15) If the size of ‘896 KB minus the BASIC file storage area size’ or more is specified  
for either the TrueType font storage area or the bit map writable character storage  
area, each area other than the BASIC file storage area is allocated as specified.  
For example, when setting “10” or “11” for the size of the TrueType font storage  
area while the BASIC file storage area secures “4” (256KB), the entire storage  
areas except the BASIC file storage area are allocated to the TrueType font  
storage area. There is no bit map writable character storage area or PC save  
area.

Explanation  
(1) The storage area in flash ROM has a total capacity of 3072 KB.  
In case that the size of BASIC file storage area is set in a range of “00” to “48”:  
(2) When this command is received, the entire area in flash ROM on the CPU board is  
cleared.  
(3) If this command is not sent, the storage area in flash ROM on the CPU board  
cannot be used.  
(4) The storage areas are allocated in the following order of precedence – the  
TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area, and the  
BASIC file storage area. After these storage areas are allocated, the remaining  
area is used for the PC save area.  
(5) If the sum of the TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character  
storage area, and the BASIC file storage area, specified by this command, is 3072  
KB, the TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage area,  
and the BASIC file storage area are allocated as specified, respectively. In this  
case, however, there is no PC save area.  
(6) If the sum of TrueType font storage area, the bit map writable character storage  
area, and the BASIC file storage area, specified by this command, exceeds 3072  
KB, the TrueType font storage area is allocated as specified with the highest  
priority. Then, the remaining area is allocated to the bit map writable character  
storage area. If there is still remaining area after the TrueType font storage area  
and the bit map writable character storage area are allocated, it is used for the  
BASIC file storage area. There is no PC save area.  
(7) When “00” (0 KB) is specified for each of the TrueType font storage area, the bit  
map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area, the storage  
area is not allocated.  
(8) When “48” (3072 KB) is specified for any of the TrueType font storage area, the bit  
map writable character storage area, and the BASIC file storage area, the entire  
storage areas are occupied by that area. For example, if “48” is specified for the  
TrueType Font storage area, the entire storage areas are used for the TrueType  
Font storage area. The bit map writable character storage area, the BASIC file  
storage area, and the PC save area cannot be allocated.

In case that the size of BASIC file storage area is set to “AA”:  
(9) When this command is received, the BASIC file storage area is reserved and the  
other areas in flash ROM on the CPU board are cleared.  
(10) If this command is not sent, the storage area in flash ROM on the CPU board  
cannot be used.  
If “AA” is set for the size of the BASIC file storage area with the BASIC file storage  
area being unallocated, the BASIC file storage area remains unallocated.  
(11) The storage areas except for the BASIC file storage area are allocated in the  
following order of precedence – the TrueType font storage area, and the bit map  
writable character storage area. After these storage areas are allocated, the  
remaining area is used for the PC save area.  
(12) If the sum of the TrueType font storage area and the bit map writable character  
storage area, specified by this command, is the size of ‘3072 KB minus the BASIC  
file storage area size’, the TrueType font storage area and the bit map writable  
character storage area are allocated as specified. In this case, however, there is  
no PC save area.  
(13) If the sum of TrueType font storage area and the bit map writable character  
storage area, specified by this command, exceeds the size of ‘3072 KB minus the  
BASIC file storage area size’, the TrueType font storage area is allocated as  
specified with the highest priority. Then, the remaining area is allocated to the bit  
map writable character storage area. There is no PC save area.  
(14) When “00” (0 KB) is specified for each of the TrueType font storage area and the  
bit map writable character storage area, the storage area is not allocated.  
(15) If the size of ‘3072 KB minus the BASIC file storage area size’ or more is specified  
for either the TrueType font storage area or the bit map writable character storage  
area, each area other than the BASIC file storage area is allocated as specified.  
For example, when setting “10” or “11” for the size of the TrueType font storage  
area while the BASIC file storage area secures “4” (256KB), the entire storage  
areas except the BASIC file storage area are allocated to the TrueType font  
storage area. There is no bit map writable character storage area or PC save

2: Slot 2 on the PCMCIA board (Option)  
Explanation  
(1) Only a 4-MB flash memory card can be formatted.  
(2) The flash memory card can be roughly divided into the PC save area and the  
writable character storage area. They can be formatted (initialized) either  
separately or at the same time.  
(3) When using a new flash memory card, the area to be used must be formatted  
(initialized) before the PC interface command is saved or writable characters are  
stored.  
(4) After the flash memory card is formatted, the remaining memory is the PC save  
area (895 Kbytes) and writable character storage area (3147 Kbytes). The  
remaining memory is displayed on the LCD.  
(5) When the flash memory card is used and the already stored data (PC interface  
commands, writable characters, logos) is stored again, memory is consumed with  
every storing unless the Flash Memory Format Command ([ESC] J1) is  
transmitted.  
(6) When the label issue operation is performed after the Flash Memory Format  
Command is sent, the image buffer is automatically cleared.  
(7) When storing of writable characters, logos, or PC interface commands is not  
continued, the printer automatically enters the online mode (label issue operation)  
after about 10 seconds. In this case, the image buffer is automatically cleared.

First character code for each range  
2020 to FFFF (Indicates the hex. data in ASCII code.)  
No. of characters for each range  
0001 to 4000 (Indicates the hex. data in ASCII code.)  
Explanation  
(1) For a 2-byte character code such as Kanji, the character code range may be  
divided into two or more. The control information area for the unnecessary  
codes can be deleted by designating the character code range, and the capacity  
of flash memory is not wasted.  
(2) The total number of characters for each range must not exceed 0x4000 (16384  
characters).  
(3) Up to 2700 can be designated for the range.  
(4) A character code which is not appropriate for the setting for this command cannot  
be stored.  
(5) The first character code for each area to be set,p should be sent in the ascending  
order. Each area must not overlap. If these are not satisfied, the operation is  
not guaranteed.

Explanation  
(1) Type of writable character  
Up to 44 and 49 writable character sets can be stored for the flash card and the  
ATA card, respectively. However, the maximum number of characters varies  
depending on the writable character size and number of characters because of  
the limited memory capacity. For writable character sets 41 to 44, each writable  
character size is fixed.  
(2) Character code  
Up to 224 characters can be stored per character set. The maximum number of  
characters are 40 sets × 224 characters = 8960 characters. It varies depending  
on the writable character size and the number of characters because of the limited  
memory capacity. For character sets 41 to 44, a character code consisting of 1  
byte is stored. However, when the character code is called up, F0H is added to  
the upper digit of it, and consists of 2 bytes. In this case, up to 188 characters  
can be stored per character set.  
(3) Only a 4-MB flash memory card can be used for storing a writable character.  
(4) The configuration of the writable character file stored in the ATA card is as follows.  
1st byte  
2nd byte  
3rd byte  
4th byte  
5th byte  
6th byte  
7th byte  
8th byte  
9th byte  
10th byte  
11th byte  
No. of dots for left offset  
(from upper to lower)  
No. of dots for top offset  
(from upper to lower)  
No. of dots for character height  
(from upper to lower)  
No. of dots for character width  
(from upper to lower)  
No. of dots for horizontal spacing/proportional spacing  
(from upper to lower)  
Writable character data (Hex. data)  
(If it is stored in the nibble mode, data is 8 bits/byte.)  
(5) When writable characters are stored in the ATA card, the “GAIJI” directory is  
created, and then the directory for each writable character set is created under the  
“GAIJI” directory level as shown on the next page. One writable character file is  
created in the writable character set directory per writable character.

Notes  
(1) With the same writable character set designated, character width and character height can be  
designated for each writable character code. In other words, character size can be changed  
for each character, thus saving memory.  
(2) Proportional spacing and descending characters are possible depending on the parameters  
of horizontal spacing/proportional spacing, left offset, and top offset.  
(3) When top offset is 000, the reference coordinates are at the above left when drawing because  
the base line is at the top. (Coordinate setting is facilitated for logos.)

Notes  
(1) No matter what character set or character code is selected, no memory will be  
wasted.  
(2) When a new writable character is stored, the Flash Memory Format Command  
([ESC] J1) or the ATA Card Format Command ([ESC] JA) must be transmitted.  
(3) A character code already stored can be stored in the flash memory card again if  
the Bit Map Writable Character Store Command ([ESC] XD) is transmitted, but  
memory will be consumed with every storage. Memory can be efficiently used by  
sending the Flash Memory Format Command ([ESC] J1) before storing.  
(4) If a flash memory card is used, and a label issue operation is performed after  
sending the Bit Map Writable Character Command ([ESC] XD), the image buffer is  
cleared automatically.  
(5) When the storing operation is not continued after storing the writable character  
and logos, the printer automatically enters the online mode (label issue operation)  
after about 10 seconds. In this case, when the flash memory card is used, the  
image buffer will be cleared automatically.  
(6) Only a 4-MB flash memory card manufactured by Maxell can be used for storing a  
writable character.

[When the printer driver compression mode is selected]  
(1) For the [ESC] SG0; -- command, only “A: Printer driver compression mode” can be selected  
for the type of graphic data. The parameter for the data count is attached after the  
parameter for the type of graphic data. When the total number of data cannot be provided  
by the printer driver, “00H, 00H, 00H, 00H” should be specified for the number of graphic  
data. However, in this case, the printer diver cannot support printing through a serial  
interface (RS-232C).  
(2) How to compress data  
Compression is performed for every data of one line specified for the number of graphic  
width dots.  
The data is made up in units of 8 dots. A repeated value is encoded in 2 bytes. The first  
byte is a numeric value n indicating that a value is repeated (-n + 1) times.  
The range is between -127 and -1. The second byte is the repeated value.  
If a value is not repeated, the first byte is the numeric value m. The length of the values is  
indicated in (m+1). The range of “m” is between 0 and 126. The length of the repetition of  
the value “n” and ”m” should not exceed 127 and 126, respectively.  
If it exceeds the range, it should be divided into blocks of repetition.  
When the same contents as the data for 1 line appear repeatedly in the next line and after,  
the number of lines in which the same contents appear is encoded in 2 bytes. The first byte  
is fixed as 127. The second byte indicates “N” times that the same contents are repeated.  
Its range is between 1 and 255. “N” should not exceed 255. If it exceeds the range, the  
data for the excess number of times should be compressed as the new data of 1 line, and  
the remaining number of repetitions should be encoded.

Notes  
(1) The print origin of coordinates must be set so that the result of drawing the  
graphic data will be within the effective print area set by the Label Size Set  
Command ([ESC] D).  
(2) The number of graphic width dots and the number of graphic height dots must  
also be set so that the result of drawing the graphic data will be within the effective  
print area set by the Label Size Set Command ([ESC] D) in the same manner as  
the above.  
(3) Both width and height are 8 dots/mm and 12 dots/mm for the B-SX4T and the B-  
SX5T, respectively.  
(4) The actual result of drawing may deviate within ±0.5 mm and ±0.33 mm for the B-  
SX4T and the B-SX5T, respectively, in the X direction with respect to the  
designated print origin of the X-coordinate.  
To draw the received graphic data at high speed, the data is directly  
developed in the image buffer without applying correction to each bit with  
respect to the designated X-coordinate. Consequently, an error of up to 4  
bits occurs.

6.3.30 HEAD BROKEN DOTS CHECK COMMAND  
[ESC] HD  
Function  
Format  
Checks the thermal head for broken dots.  
[ESC] HD001 (, a) [LF] [NUL].................All broken dots check  
[ESC] HD003, s1s1s1s1, e1e1e1e1, s2s2s2s2, e2e2e2e2,--- s8s8s8s8, e8e8e8e8 (, a) [LF] [NUL]  
.......................................................  
Partial broken dots check  
Term  
a: Check result status response (Omissible)  
A: Status response made  
(If omitted, the check result status response is not made.)  
s1s1s1s1 --- s8s8s8s8: Start coordinate of partition Fixed as 4 digits (in units of 0.1 mm)  
e1e1e1e1 --- e8e8e8e8: End coordinate of partition Fixed as 4 digits (in units of 0.1 mm)  
Explanation  
(1) The Head Broken Dots Check Command is subject to batch processing. If the  
Label Issue Command for 100 labels is transmitted, followed by the Head Broken  
Dots Check Command, the head broken dots check will be executed after issuing  
100 labels.  
(2) For the all broken dots check, the head broken dots check will be made on all the  
heater elements of the thermal head.  
(3) If the check result is found to be normal when the check result status response is set  
so that it is not made, the next command is processed. If the check result is found  
to be abnormal, an error occurs. Whether or not the status is sent when an error  
occurs is determined according to the setting for the status response specified by  
the Issue Command.  
If the check result is found to be normal when the check result status response is  
set, a head broken dots check normal end status is sent, and then the next  
command is processed. If the check result is found to be abnormal, the head  
broken dots error status is sent, and then the printer stops.  
Status for normal end  
[SOH] [STX] “0020000” [EXT] [EOT] [CR] [LF]  
Status for head broken dots error  
[SOH] [STX] “1720000” [EXT] [EOT] [CR] [LF]  
(4) All broken dots check takes approx. 1 second.  
(5) Partial broken dots check:  
• Up to 8 positions for the range can be designated. However, the range is  
omissible, if it is less than 8 positions.  
• When the value set for the start coordinate is larger than the value set for the end  
coordinate, the end coordinate is recognized and processed as the start  
coordinate, and the start coordinate is recognized and processed as the end  
coordinate.  
• Plural coordinates specifying the range can be designated at the same time.  
• If a coordinate beyond the head width is specified, it is processed the same as  
when the max. value is designated. Therefore, a command error does not  
occur.

6.3.31 MESSAGE DISPLAY COMMAND  
[ESC] XJ  
Function  
Format  
Displays the message on the upper line of the LCD.  
[ESC] XJ; aaa ------ aaa [LF] [NUL]  
Term  
aaa ------ aaa: Display data (16 digits)  
Explanation  
When the printer receives the Message Display Command, it displays the message on  
the upper line of the LCD then enters a pause state after processing the received data  
(after completing the label issue, if the Issue Command has been sent).  
The pause state is cleared by pressing the [RESTART] key and the LCD displays the  
normal message. After the pause state is cleared, the printer resumes processing the  
received data following the Message Display Command.  
Notes  
(1) 16 characters are displayed. When the display data is less than 16 characters,  
the blank data is processed as spaces. When the display data exceeds 16  
characters, the excess data is discarded.  
(2) During a pause, a halt due to an error, or a head open state, the Message Display  
Command is not processed even if it is received. In this case, the command is  
processed after the above state is cleared.  
(3) The following data can be displayed.  
If a code other than the following data is received, “?” is displayed or a command  
error results.

6.3.32 RESET COMMAND  
[ESC] WR  
Function  
Format  
Returns the printer to its initial state.  
[ESC] WR [LF] [NUL]  
Explanation  
The printer is returned to the same state as when the power is turned on. When the  
printer receives this command during printing, it returns to its initial state after issuing  
the label which is being printed. The next command must not be sent while the printer  
is performing initial processing after this command is transmitted.  
Notes  
(1) When the printer receives a command in the system mode, only the Reset  
Command can be processed and any other commands cannot be processed.  
(2) If a command error or communication error occurs when receiving the Reset  
Command, the error message is displayed in the online mode. However, it is not  
displayed in the system mode.  
(3) After the code of the Bit Map Writable Character Command ([ESC] XD) or the  
Graphic Command ([ESC] SG) is received, the Reset Command is not processed  
until the printer receives the data specified for the type of data.

6.3.33 STATUS REQUEST COMMAND  
[ESC] WS  
Function  
Format  
Sends the printer status to the host computer.  
[ESC] WS [LF] [NUL]  
Explanation  
This command makes the printer send its status regardless of the setting of “status  
response/no status response.” The status to be transmitted is the current printer  
status, and indicates the latest status only. The remaining count indicates the  
remaining count of the batch currently being printed. No remaining count of the batch  
waiting to be printed is transmitted.  
Notes  
(1) This command is available for the RS-232C, USB, Centronics interfaces, and  
socket communications. However, when SPP mode of Centronics is selected,  
the printer returns a status to the Nibble mode negotiation immediately after this  
command is received. When ECP mode of Centronics is selected, the printer  
returns a status to the reverse request immediately after this command is  
received.  
(2) The status is returned only to the interface which sent this command.  
(3) After the code of the Bit Map Writable Character Command ([ESC] XD) or Graphic  
Command ([ESC] SG) is received, the Status Request Command is not  
processed until the printer receives the data specified for the type of data.  
(4) A max. delay of 20 msec may occur until the printer sends the status after  
receiving the Status Request Command.  
(5) The interval from when the Status Request Command is sent to when the next  
Status Request Command is sent should be 20 msec or more. If the interval is  
less than 20 msec, the printer may fail to receive the Status Request Command.

6.3.34 RECEIVE BUFFER FREE SPACE STATUS REQUEST COMMAND  
[ESC] WB  
Function  
Sends information on the printer status and the free space of the receive buffer to the  
host.  
Format  
[ESC] WB [LF] [NUL]  
Explanation  
(1) This command makes the printer send information on its status and free space of  
the receive buffer regardless of the setting of “status response/no status  
response.” The status to be transmitted is the current printer status, and  
indicates the latest status only. The remaining count indicates the remaining  
count of the batch currently being printed. No remaining count of the batch  
waiting to be printed is transmitted. Free space of the receive buffer for the  
interface which sent this command, is returned to the host.  
Notes  
(1) This command is available for the RS-232C, USB, Centronics interfaces, and  
socket communications. However, when SPP mode of Centronics is selected,  
the printer returns a status to the Nibble mode negotiation immediately after this  
command is received. When ECP mode of Centronics is selected, the printer  
returns a status to the reverse request immediately after this command is  
received.  
(2) The printer returns the status only for the interface which sent this command to  
the host.  
(3) After the code of the Bit Map Writable Character Command ([ESC] XD) or Graphic

6.5 EXPLANATION OF THE RFID RELATED COMMANDS  
6.5.1 RFID TAG POSITION ADJUSTMENT COMMAND  
[ESC] @003  
Function  
Sets the feed amount to adjust the RFID tag position before writing data onto it.  
If the RFID tag is not positioned just above the RFID antenna when the paper is at the  
print start position, the printer automatically feeds the paper forward or backward by the  
specified amount to write data onto the RFID tag prior to printing.  
Also, specifies the offset printing function which enables printing and writing data on  
short-pitch tags at the same time.  
Format  
Term  
[ESC] @003; abbbb(, c) [LF] [NUL]  
a:  
Feed direction  
+: Backward  
: Forward  
bbbb: Feed amount  
0000 to 9999 (In units of 0.1 mm)  
c:  
Offset printing (Omissible)  
0: Offset printing is not performed (normal operation). (Default)  
1: Offset printing is performed without a reverse feed of the first label.  
2: Offset printing is performed with a reverse feed of the first label.  
Explanation  
(1) The printer automatically feeds paper forward or backward before writing data onto  
the RFID tag as specified in this command. After that, the printer returns the  
paper to the print start position for printing.  
(2) Only the value of 30 or less, or +30 or more becomes effective.  
(3) When the head up function has been enabled, it will be performed when the feed  
amount is set to 50 or less, or +50 or more .  
(4) Transmitting the Image Buffer Clear Command clears the settings of this  
command.  
(5) This command is ignored for on-the-fly issues.  
(6) The offset printing is a function that the printer prints on a label while writing data  
onto the tag of a next label. This is useful to continuously issue multiple RFID  
labels.  
When using approx. 20-mm pitch labels, for example, a next label (Label 2) is  
supposed to be positioned just above the antenna when the previous label (Label  
1) is at the print position. In this case, enabling the offset printing eliminates a  
need for a reverse feed to the tag write position, causing the total throughput to  
increase.

When print data for several labels is transmitted to the printer, how the printer  
performs printing and data write is explained for each of the offset printing  
parameter options using the above illustration, as follows.  
[0:Offset printing is not performed. (Normal operation)] (When two labels are issued.)  
(1) The printer feeds the labels in the reverse direction for the amount specified by @003 command.  
The feed amount should be the distance between the print start position and the antenna position.  
(2) Data is written onto the tag of Label 1.  
(3) The printer feeds the labels in the forward direction for the same amount as Step (1) to return Label  
1 to the print start position.  
(4) Label 1 is printed. If a data write to Label 1 failed, the void patter is printed on Label 1.  
(5) The printer feeds the labels in the reverse direction for the amount specified by @003 command.  
(6) Data is written onto the tag of Label 2.  
(7) The printer feeds the labels in the forward direction for the same amount as Step (5) to return Label  
2 to the print start position.  
(8) Label 2 is printed. If a data write to Label 2 failed, the void pattern is printed on Label 2.  
[1:Offset printing is performed without a reverse feed of the first label.] (When two labels are issued.)  
(1) The printer feeds the labels in the forward/reverse direction for the amount specified by @003  
command. This feed is to adjust the position of Label 2 so that it is positioned just above the  
antenna when Label 1 is at the print start position. When the feed amount is set to 0, the printer  
does not feed the labels.  
(2) Data is written onto the tag of Label 2.  
(3) The printer feeds one label in the forward direction.  
(4) Data is written onto the tag of Label 3.  
(5) The printer feeds the labels in the forward/reverse direction for the same amount as Step (1) to  
return Label 2 to the print start position.  
(6) Label 2 is printed. If a data write to Label 2 failed, the void patter is printed on Label 2.  
(7) Label 3 is printed. If a data write to Label 3 failed, the void pattern is printed on Label 3.  
Note: This mode wastes Label 1.  
[2:Offset printing is performed with a reverse feed of the first label.] (When two labels are issued.  
(1) The printer feeds the labels in the reverse direction for the amount specified by @003 command  
plus one label pitch so that Label 1 is positioned just above the antenna.  
(2) Data is written onto the tag of Label 1.  
(3) The printer feeds one label in the forward direction.  
(4) Data is written onto the tag of Label 2.  
(5) The printer feeds the labels in the forward direction for the same amount as Step (1) to return Label  
1 to the print start position.  
(6) Label 1 is printed. If a data write to Label 1 failed, the void pattern is printed on Label 1.  
(7) Label 2 is printed. If a data write to Label 2 failed, the void pattern is printed on Label 2.

Supplemental explanation of parameter “I”  
When Gen2 tag is used, options for the parameter “I” are as follows:  
I1: TID & User area data  
I2: EPC data  
I3: EPC data + TID & User area data  
As the readability of the TID & User area differs depending on the tag manufacturers,  
refer to the memory map of each tag.  
Example)  
In the case of OMRON’s Gen2 tag  
4-byte TID area is readable, and the user area is read/write protected.  
In the case of HITACHI’s Gen2 tag (Hibiki)  
8-byte TID area is readable/writable and 30-byte user area is readable/writable.

6.5.3 RFID VOID PATTERN PRINT COMMAND  
[ESC] @006  
Function  
Format  
Prints the void pattern to indicate an RFID tag error.  
[ESC] @006 [LF] [NUL]  
Explanation  
(1) The void patter is printed according to the currently set label size.  
(2) After the void pattern is printed, the print data image is still retained.  
(3) This void pattern is printed when data cannot be written onto the RIFD tag properly  
due to breakage of RFID chip or some other reasons. The void pattern visually  
indicates that the RFID tag is faulty.  
(4) Usually, the void pattern is automatically printed if writing data onto the RFID tag  
results in an error, therefore, this command does not need to be transmitted.  
This command is intended to be used if writing data onto the RFID tag failed while  
the BASIC interpreter or the Pass Through Command is used and the RFID  
module is manually controlled to issue RFID labels.  
(5) The paper printed by this command is cut one by one.  
(6) The status indicating the end of the void pattern printing caused by this command  
is 60 (end of the void pattern printing).  
(7) Even when an image buffer clear command is sent after this command, void  
pattern image is not cleared and the printer prints the void pattern.

7. CONTROL CODE SELECTION  
(1) Automatic Selection  
This printer automatically selects [ESC] (1BH). [LF] (0AH). [NUL] (00H) or {(7BH). | (7CH).} (7DH)  
as an interface command control code. After the power is turned on, the program checks the data  
from the host for [ESC] and { and assumes the data whichever has been sent first to be a control  
code.  
For example, if [ESC] is sent first after the power is turned on, [ESC]. [LF]. [NUL] becomes a  
control code, and if { is sent first, { . | . } becomes a control code. Control code selection is made  
for every command. If the first command is [ESC] ~ [LF] [NUL], followed by [ESC], the control  
code becomes [ESC]. [LF]. [NUL], and if it is followed by { , the control code for the next command  
becomes { . | . }. When { . | . } is a control code, the data of 00H to 1FH in { ~ | } is ignored.  
However, the data of 00H to 1FH becomes valid while processing the Graphic Command or the Bit  
Map Writable Character Command in hexadecimal mode. When { . | . } is the control code, { . | . }  
cannot be used in the data of the Data Command or the Message Display Command.

Command processing  
(2) Manual Selection (ESC. LF. NUL)  
The control code of the command is [ESC] (1BH). [LF] (0AH). [NUL] (00H), and the control code  
selection is not performed.  
(3) Manual Selection ({ . | . })  
The control code of the command is {(7BH). | (7CH).} (7DH), and the control code selection is not  
performed. Data of 00H to 1FH is ignored and discarded in this mode. However, data of 00H to  
1FH becomes valid while processing the Graphic Command or the Bit Map Writable Character  
Command in hexadecimal mode. When { . | . } is used as the control code, { . | . } cannot be used  
in the data of the Data Command or the Message Display Command.  
(4) Manual Selection (Any set code)  
The control code of the command is the code set in the system mode, and the control code  
selection is not performed. The code used in each command should not be set as the control  
code.  
In the Data Command or the Message Display Command, the code set as the control code cannot  
be used.

8. ERROR PROCESSING  
If the printer detects any of the following errors, it will display the error message (LCD, LED), makes  
status response (serial interface, parallel interface), and stops its operation.  
8.1 COMMUNICATION ERRORS  
(1) Command Errors  
An error results if a command length error, command transmission sequence error, command  
format error, or parameter designation error is found in analyzing the command. An error results  
if the Format Command of a field is not transmitted and its Data Command is transmitted. When  
attempting to call a PC Save Command of a save identifier which is not saved, an error results.  
An undefined command is not detected as an error, and data is discarded until [ESC] or [{] is  
received.  
(2) Hardware Errors  
An error results if a framing error or parity error is found during data reception when using the  
serial interface (RS-232C).  
* At the moment when a command error or hardware error occurs, the printer shows the error  
message and makes status response before stopping. The Status Request Command and  
Reset Command only can be processed and other commands are not processed. When the  
printer is restored by the [RESTART] key, the printer enters the initial state which is obtained  
after the power is turned on.  
8.2 ERRORS IN ISSUING OR FEEDING  
(1) Paper Jam  
c When the relation between the programmed label (or tag) pitch (A) and the label (or tag) pitch  
detected by the sensor (B) is not indicated by the following formula, an error will result:  
(A) × 50% (B) (A) × 150%  
• A paper jam has occurred during paper feed.  
• The paper is not placed properly.  
• The actual label does not match the type of the sensor.  
• The sensor position is not aligned with the black mark.  
• The actual label size does not meet the designated label length.  
• No label-to-label gap is detected due to preprint.  
• The sensor is not thoroughly adjusted.  
(The sensor is not adjusted for the label to be used.)  
d If the stripped label does not cover the strip sensor when printing or feeding is completed in  
the strip mode, an error will result.

(2) Cutter Error  
• Rotary cutter  
When the cutter does not move from the cutter home position 40 msec or more after the cutter  
solenoid is driven, an error will result.  
The cutter moves from the home position, however, it does not return to the home position after  
150 msec.  
• Swing cutter  
When the cutter home position sensor does not detect 1.5 sec or more after the cutter motor is  
driven, an error will result.  
• A paper jam has occurred at the cutter. (The cutter does not return to the home position.)  
• The cutter does not move from the home position.  
• The cutter cover is open.  
(3) Label End  
Error processing differs depending on the setting of label end/ribbon end process in the system  
mode.  
When TYP1 is selected. (default):  
c When the transmissive sensor or the reflective sensor detects a continuous 3-mm long label  
end state, an error will result.  
d When an issue, a feed, or an ejection is attempted in a printer stop state while the  
transmissive sensor or the reflective sensor detects the label end state, an error will result.  
When TYP2 is selected. (effective only when the ribbon saving function is not used.):  
c When the transmissive sensor or the reflective sensor detects a continuous 3-mm long label  
end state, the printer completes the printing of half-finished label, and then an error will result  
when the next label is at the home position.  
d When an issue, a feed, or an ejection is attempted in a printer stop state while the  
transmissive sensor or the reflective sensor detects the label end state, an error will result.  
(4) Ribbon End  
Error processing differs depending on the setting of label end/ribbon end process in the system  
mode.  
When TYP1 is selected. (default):  
c With the ribbon being selected, when the ribbon end sensor detects a continuous 5-mm long  
ribbon end state, an error will result.  
d With the ribbon being selected, when an issue, a feed, or an ejection is attempted in a printer  
stop state while the ribbon end sensor detects the ribbon end state, an error will result.  
When TYP2 is selected. (effective only when the ribbon saving function is not used.)  
c With the ribbon being selected, when the ribbon end sensor detects a continuous 5-mm long  
ribbon end state, the following process depends on the unfinished label length as follows.  
When unfinished label length is 30 mm or more, an error results after the printer prints  
the label for 20 mm.  
When unfinished label length is less than 30 mm, the printer completes the half-finished  
label and stops printing when the next label is at the home position.  
d With the ribbon being selected, when an issue, a feed, or an ejection is attempted in a printer  
stop state while the ribbon end sensor detects the ribbon end state, an error will result.

(5)  
Head Open Error  
c If the head open sensor detects the open state in 5 mm continuously, an error will result.  
d If the head open sensor detects the open state when an issue, a feed, or an ejection is  
attempted in a printer stop state, an error will result.  
e If the head-up sensor detects the head-up state in 5 mm continuously, an error will result.  
f If the head-up sensor detects the head-up state when an issue, a feed, or an ejection is  
attempted in a printer stop state, an error will result.  
However, the feeding by the [FEED] key on the printer and the issuing and feeding by the  
expansion I/O are not included.  
(6) Thermal Head Error  
c A broken dot error has occurred in the thermal head.  
d An error has occurred in the thermal head driver.  
(7) Thermal Head Excessive Temperature  
c When the open-air temperature detection thermistor detects an excessively high temperature  
(61 °C or more), an error will result.  
d When the thermal head temperature detection thermistor detects an excessively high  
temperature (80 °C or more), an error will result.  
e When the heat sink sensor detects an excessively high temperature (91 °C or more), an error  
will result.  
(8) Ribbon Error  
c When the ribbon rewind motor sensor and ribbon back tension motor sensor do not perform  
detection if twice the prescribed time has passed, an error will result.  
• An abnormal condition has occurred in the sensor for determining the torque for the ribbon  
motor.  
• A ribbon jam has occurred.  
• The ribbon has run out.  
• The ribbon has not been installed.  
(9) Rewinder Overflow  
c If the rewinder overflow sensor detects the overflow state in 5 mm continuously when the strip  
function or the built-in rewinder is specified, an error will result.  
d If the overflow sensor detects an overflow state when an issue, a feed, or an ejection is  
attempted in a printer stop state after the strip function or the built-in rewinder is specified, an  
error will result.  
* At the moment an error occurs, the printer shows the error message, makes a status response,  
and then stops. Only the Status Request Command and the Reset Command can be  
processed. Other commands are not processed. Restoration using the [RESTART] key is  
possible except in the case of a thermal head excessive temperature error. (The printer  
resumes printing a label at which the error had occurred.)

9. STATUS RESPONSE  
9.1 FUNCTIONS  
There are three kinds of status response functions.  
(1) Status transmission function at the end of a normal transmission and the occurrence of an error  
(auto status transmission)  
This function is available for the RS-232C interface and for the mail function.  
If the option for “status response” has been selected, the printer sends the status to the host  
computer when the printer performs a feed or completes an issue normally (For the batch/cut  
mode: after the designated number of labels is printed, For the strip mode: after one label is  
printed). In the online mode, the head up/down status is sent to the host computer.  
When each error occurs, the status is sent to the host computer.  
The remaining count in the status response indicates the remaining count of the batch currently  
being printed. No remaining count of the batch waiting to be printed is transmitted.  
(2) Status transmission function by status request (Status Request Command)  
This function is available for the RS-232C, USB, Centronics interfaces, and socket  
communications.  
Upon request to send status by the Status Request Command, the printer sends the latest status  
indicating its current state to the host computer, regardless of the option for “status response/no  
status response” . The remaining count indicates the remaining count of the batch currently  
being printed. No remaining count of the batch waiting to be printed is transmitted. This  
command is not stored in the receive buffer and executed immediately when it is received.  
(3) Receive buffer free space status transmission function by status request (Receive Buffer Free  
Space Status Request Command)  
This function is available for the RS-232C, USB, Centronics interfaces, and socket  
communications.  
Upon request to send status by the Receive Buffer Free Space Status Request Command, the  
printer sends the latest status indicating its current state to the host computer, regardless of the  
option for “status response/no status response” . The remaining count indicates the remaining  
count of the batch currently being printed. No remaining count of the batch waiting to be printed  
is transmitted. This command is not stored in the receive buffer and executed immediately when  
it is received.  
Peel-off wait status  
The peel-off wait status (05H) returned by the Status Request Command depends on the  
system mode setting.  
When the peel-off wait status is set to “OFF” in the system mode:  
If the Status Request Command is sent when a label is on the strip shaft (for example,  
while idling, after feeding a label, after printing all labels), the printer returns (00H) to the  
host.  
When the peel-off wait status is set to “ON” in the system mode:  
If the Status Request Command is sent when a label is on the strip shaft (for example,  
while idling, after feeding a label, after printing all labels), the printer returns (05H) to the  
host.  
If the Status Request Command is sent while a label is being printed or issued, the peel-off
