Chapter 3 Programming Overview This chapter includes the information needed to control the LabelWriter SE450 printer correctly using ASCII Escape commands (referred to as ESC commands throughout this reference guide). Both basic and advanced topics are explained so that you understand how the LabelWriter SE450 printer works. Programming the LabelWriter Printer The first step in controlling the LabelWriter SE450 printer is to understand how the printer works.
Programming Overview PRINT #1, “HELLO WORLD” In a nutshell, that’s all there is to controlling the LabelWriter printer. Any formatting or special effect that you may need for your output can be specified simply and easily by sending the appropriate command characters and the data to be printed. The next few sections cover the ins, outs, and general information that you should know before programming the LabelWriter printer. Resetting the Printer Each print job should begin with a printer reset command.
Programming the LabelWriter Printer To allow for longer distances to be specified, two 8-bit characters are used to specify the value, by combining them into one 16-bit character. Though the calculations are all performed within the printer itself, it is important to understand how the characters are handled. The decimal value of the first character that is sent (usually noted as n1) is multiplied by 256. The decimal value of the second character sent (usually noted as n2) is then added to this.
Programming Overview 710 base 10 = 0000001011000110 n1 binary = 00000010 or "2" decimal n2 binary = 11000110 or "198" decimal Font Specifications The table below lists the specifications for the five internal fonts the LabelWriter printer supports. Height and width are expressed in dots. Font Setting Height Width Horizontal cpi Vertical cpi ESC S 16 10 20.3 12.7 ESC P 24 12 16.9 8.4 ESC M 32 16 12.7 6.4 ESC U 32 20 10.2 6.4 ESC T 56 28 7.3 3.
Print Modes a top-of-form hole before this maximum feed distance is reached, it will stop at that point, rather than continuing. This command is only needed when dealing with continuous-feed paper. Raster Mode The LabelWriter SE450 command set includes most of the commands included in the command set for the LabelWriter 450 series printers, as well as the ASCII commands that are included in this Technical Reference.
Programming Overview Certain commands are disabled or work differently while the printer is in portrait mode. Exact details can be found with each command’s description. Landscape Mode By using the set print orientation command (GS V), you can configure the LabelWriter printer for landscape printing. In landscape printing, text characters travel out of the printer from the left side of the character to the right.
Barcode Objects command. While a text object is active, commands that alter text line attributes (such as font and double-height character commands) are ignored. Commands that alter text character attributes (such as double wide and inverse) may be sent at any time. Line attributes include the five basic fonts (ESC S, P, M, U, and T), plus the double-height font command (GS DC2). These commands may not be issued while a text object is active; instead they should be issued before a text object is begun.
Programming Overview parameter specifies whether a fixed amount of data will be sent or whether delimiters will be used. In either case, the data sent must match the parameter setting. If a fixed number of characters are specified, then the exact number of characters specified must be sent. If delimiters are indicated, then matching characters must be sent before and after the barcode data to specify the beginning and end of the data.

Commands GS S Return Printer Status Description Returns a single status byte. The printer status is determined by testing the individual bits within the returned status byte. Only bits that have defined values should be tested. Do not test bits designated as reserved. When polling for the status byte, your program must wait for the status byte to arrive. The printer will take several milliseconds to process the request and then transmit the status byte.
Command Reference GS T Select Line Wrap/Truncate Modes Description Determines how to handle a text wrap condition. A text wrap condition occurs when text extends beyond the end of a line or a page. The default is to wrap at the end of a line and a page.
Commands GS US Cancel Inverse Print Mode Description Cancels the inverse print mode (white on black) and returns text back to its normal attributes for the remainder of the current line. See Also GS RS Expression ASCII GS US Decimal 29 31 Hex 1D 1F Parameters None GS u Set Characters per Line in Portrait Description Creates an internal memory buffer to store portrait text and barcodes. The size of the buffer is determined by n, the number of characters per line.
Command Reference GS V Set Print Orientation Description Causes the LabelWriter printer to print the data stored in the print buffer and then change to the selected orientation.
Commands ASCII GS W Thin Thick Decimal 29 87 Thin Thick Hex 1D 57 Thin Thick Parameters Thin thickness of thin bars Thick thickness of thick bars GS w Set Barcode Module Width Description Selects the horizontal size of a barcode module. The parameter n represents the thickness of the thin bars (in dots). Each dot measures .0049 inches in 203 dpi and .0073 inches in 138 dpi. With Code 3 of 9, Interleaved 2 of 5, and Codabar barcodes, the thick bars will be automatically adjusted to 2 * n.
Command Reference GS * Landscape Mode Graphics Description Prints a graphic image (in landscape mode only).
Commands HT Horizontal Tab Description Moves cursor position to next multiple of eight single-width characters. Note that double-width characters count as two single-width characters. If the HT command causes the cursor to move beyond the printable area, the text will wrap to the next line. Expression ASCII HT Decimal 9 Hex 9 Parameters None LF Line Feed Description Prints the current line of text and advances the text position to the beginning of the next line.
Command Reference Causes all the text that follows the command on the same line to be printed as doublewide characters. Double-wide characters are canceled by a line feed (CR or LF) or the DC4 command. Double wide is a character attribute and is available on a character-by-character basis. Double-wide text can be canceled at any point on the line. Double-wide text is automatically canceled at the end of the line.
The Caret Feature required because this amount exceeds the longest possible string of bitmap data bytes that the LabelWriter printer expects. See Also ESC B ESC D ETB Expression ASCII SYN d1…dn Decimal 22 d1…dn Hex 16 d1…dn Parameters d1 … bytes of bitmap print data (max 56 bytes for LabelWriter dn = SE450 print heads). n The Caret Feature Some computing environments do not allow the user to send the full range of ASCII characters, limiting output to printable characters only (20h - FFh).
Command Reference When using the caret feature, three-digit characters must always follow the caret (^). Also, while the caret feature is enabled, the printer will not work correctly with the LabelWriter Windows or Mac raster print drivers.
