3.12.2 Page mode limitations in slip printing
Page mode in slip printing can be performed only in ANK model.
Page mode in slip printing has the following limitations:
1) Half-dots are not usable
Page mode can handle only normal dots. Therefore, the Font A and B including half-dots,
user-defined characters including half-dots, and bit images cannot be specified. The printer
selects the Font C (5 × 9 dots) including normal dots automatically. Since setting values with
the ESC SP, ESC $, ESC \, ESC 3, ESC D, ESC J, ESC K, and ESC W commands uses
half-dot references, these values must be converted into values referenced to normal dots.
Under these conditions, displacement by one half-dot may occur. Therefore, the following
are invalid in page mode:
• 7 × 9 font specification using ESC ! or ESC M.
• Double-density bit image specification using ESC ∗
∗∗
∗.
• Double-density down-loaded bit image specification using GS /.
2) Double-strike printing is not permitted.
In page mode, data written twice to the same area is logically OR’ed before printing.
Therefore, double-strike mode cannot be used to emphasize characters.
3.12.3 Setting Values in Standard and Page Modes
1) The available commands and parameters are the same for both standard and page modes.
However, these values can be set independently in each mode for the ESC SP, ESC 2, and
ESC 3 commands. For these commands, different settings can be stored for each mode.
2) Although the maximum number of printable dots for a bit image for the paper roll is 512 in
standard mode, 831 bit-image dots can be printed in the y direction (paper feed direction) in
page mode. (This is possible only when the ESC W command has specified 831
printable-area dots in the y direction and the printing direction value of n in the ESC T
command is 1 or 3.)
3) Although the maximum number of printable dots for a bit image is 800 in standard mode,
1804 half-dots can be printed in the y direction (paper feeding direction) in page mode. (This
is possible only when 1804 half-dots in the y direction have been specified using ESC W, and
the printing direction value n in the ESC T command is 1 or 3).
