[Notes] • When the DTR/DSR control is selected, the printer only transmits 1 byte (Printer identi-
fication) after it has been given confirmation that the host is ready to receive data. If the
host is not ready, the printer waits until it is.
• When the XON/XOFF control is selected, the printer only transmits 1 byte (Printer iden-
tification) if it has not been given confirmation that the host is ready to receive data.
• This command is carried out once the data has been processed in the reception buffer.
There may therefore be a delay between the moment in which the command is received
and that in which the data is transmitted, depending on the status of the reception buff-
er.

[Notes] • If d is outside the specified range, the printer prints the following message: “BAR CODE
GENERATOR NON OK !” and processes the following data as normal data.
• If the horizontal size exceeds the printing area, the printer only feeds the paper.
• This command feeds as much paper as is required to print the bar code, irrespective of
the line spacing specified by $1B $32 or $1B $33.
• After printing the bar code, this command sets the print position at the beginning of the line.
• This command is not affected by print modes (bold, double strike, underline or character
size), with the exception of upside-down mode and justification.
[Note for ] • This command ends with a $00 code.
• When the bar code used is UPC-A or UPC-E, the printer prints the bar code data after
receiving 11 (without check digit) or 12 ( with check digit) byte bar code data.
• When the bar code system used is EAN13, the printer prints the bar code after receiving
12 (without check digit) or 13 (with check digit) byte bar code data.
• When the system used is EAN8, the printer prints the bar code after receiving 7 (without
check digit) or 8 (with check digit) byte bar code data.
• The number of data for ITF bar code must be even. When an odd number of data is
input, the printer ignores the last received data.
[Note for ] • If n is outside the specified range, the printer stops command processing and process
the following data as normal data.
When to use
CODE93: • The printer prints an HRI character (o) as a start character at the beginning of the HRI
character string.
• The printer prints an HRI character (o) as a stop character at the end of the HRI character
string.
• The printer prints an HRI character (n) as a control character ($00 to $1F and $7F).
When to use
CODE128: • When using the CODE128 in this printer, take the following points into account for data
transmission:
• The top of the bar code data string must be a code set selection character (CODE A ,
CODE B or CODE C) which selects the first code set.
• Special characters are defined by combining two characters “{“ and one character. The
ASCII character “{” is defined by transmitting “{“ twice consecutively.

Decimal 17
[Description] Prints in graphic mode like the DP 24/40.
The command $11 enables the DP24-40 printer graphic mode, i.e. to print in graphic
mode, transmit the command $11 at the beginning of each line. One line for the DP24-40
printer (24 column model) corresponds to 144 horizontal dots divided into 24 6-dot blocks.
For the DP24-40 printer (40-column model) one line corresponds to 240 horizontal dots
divided into 40 6-dot blocks.
[Notes] The size of the graphic dot and the number of dots per line vary depending on the number
of columns.
To obtain a graphic printout, enter the command $11 at the beginning of each line. The
graphic configuration byte format is as follows:
X R P6 P5 P4 P3 P2 P1
D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
where:
X is not utilized (we recommend 0);

R must be set at 1;
P1, P6 are the data of the graphic dots (1 prints, 0 does not print).
The P6 bit of the string of dots transmitted, is printed on the left and the others (P5, P4,
P3, P2, P1) follow from left to right as shown:
1° byte → 2° byte → 3° byte →

P6 P5 P4 P3 P2 P1 P6 P5 P4 P3 P2 P1 P6 P5 P4 P3 P2 P1

33 24 dots double density 24 200 200 (nL + nH x 256) x 3
[Notes] • The commands nL and nH indicate the number of horizontal dots in the graphic image.
The nL and nH indicate the number of dots of the bit image in the horizontal direction.
The number of dots is calculated by nL + nH * 256.
• If the bit image data exceeds the number of dots to be printed on a line, the excess data
is ignored.
• d indicates the bit image data. Set a corresponding bit at 1 to print dot or at 0 not to print dot.
• If the value of m is outside the specified range, nL and the data following are processed
as normal data.
• To print the bit-image, use the commands $0A or $0D.
• After printing a bit image, the printer reverts to normal data processing mode.
• This command is not affected by bold, double strike, underlining (etc.) modes, with the
exception of upside down mode.

[Notes] • When the DTR/DSR control is selected, the printer only transmits 1 byte (Printer identi-
fication) after it has been given confirmation that the host is ready to receive data. If the
host is not ready, the printer waits until it is.
• When the XON/XOFF control is selected, the printer only transmits 1 byte (Printer iden-
tification) if it has not been given confirmation that the host is ready to receive data.

• This command is carried out once the data has been processed in the reception buffer.
There may therefore be a delay between the moment in which the command is received and
that in which the data is transmitted, depending on the status of the reception buffer.

[Description] Executes a macro.
• rspecifies the number of times to execute the macro.
• t specifies the waiting time for executing the macro.
The waiting time is t * 100 msec. for every macro execution.
• m specifies macro executing mode:
When the LSB of m = 0, the macro executes r times continuously at the interval specified t.
When the LSB of m = 1, after waiting for the period specified by t, the LED indicator blinks
and the printer waits for the FEED button to be pressed. After the button is pressed, the
printer executes the macro once. The printer repeats the operation r times.
[Notes] • This command lasts for a period of (t * 100 msec.) after a macro is executed by t.
• If this command is received while a macro is being defined, the macro definition is
aborted and the definitions cleared.
• If the macro is not defined or if r is 0, nothing happens.
• When the macro is executed by pressing the FEED button (m = 1), the paper can not
be fed by using the FEED button.

[Description] Sets the serial counter value in the print buffer and increments or decrements the counter
value.
[Notes] • After setting the current counter value in the print buffer as print data (a character string),
the printer counts up or down based on the count mode set. The counter value in the print
buffer is printed when the printer receives a print command or is in the buffer full state.
• The counter print mode is set by $1D $43 $30.
• The counter mode is set by $1D $43 $31 or $1D $43 $3B.
• In count-up mode, if the counter value set by this command goes out of the counter op-
eration range set by $1D $43 $31 or $1D $43 $3B, it is forced to convert to the minimum
value.
• In count-down mode, if the counter value set by this command goes out of the counter
operation range set by $1D $43 $31 or $1D $43 $3B, it is forced to convert to the maxi-
mum value.

[Notes] • If d is outside the specified range, the printer prints the following message: “BAR CODE
GENERATOR NON OK !” and processes the following data as normal data.
• If the horizontal size exceeds the printing area, the printer only feeds the paper.
• This command feeds as much paper as is required to print the bar code.
• After printing the bar code, this command sets the print position at the beginning of the line.
• This command is not affected by print modes (bold, double strike, underline or character
size), with the exception of upside-down mode and justification.
[Notes for ] • This command ends with a $00 code.
• When the bar code used is UPC-A or UPC-E, the printer prints the bar code data after
receiving 11 (without check digit) or 12 ( with check digit) byte bar code data.
• When the bar code system used is EAN13, the printer prints the bar code after receiving
12 (without check digit) or 13 (with check digit) byte bar code data.
• When the system used is EAN8, the printer prints the bar code after receiving 7 (without
check digit) or 8 (with check digit) byte bar code data.

• The number of data for ITF bar code must be even. When an odd number of data is
input, the printer ignores the last received data.
[Note for ] • If n is outside the specified range, the printer stops command processing and process
the following data as normal data.
When to use
CODE93: • The printer prints an HRI character ( o ) as a start character at the beginning of the HRI
character string.
• The printer prints an HRI character ( o ) as a stop character at the end of the HRI char-
acter string.
• The printer prints an HRI character ( n ) as a control character ($00 to $1F and $7F).
When to use
CODE128: • When using the CODE128 in this printer, take the following points into account for data
transmission:
• The top of the bar code data string must be a code set selection character (CODE A ,
CODE B or CODE C) which selects the first code set.
• Special characters are defined by combining two characters “{“ and one character. The
ASCII character “}” is defined by transmitting “{“ twice consecutively.
