3.12.1 General Description

The printer operates in two print modes: standard mode and page mode which are effective for

the model except for the multilingual model (ANK model). In standard mode, the printer prints and

feeds paper each time it receives print data or paper feed commands. In page mode, all the

received print data and paper feed commands are processed in the specified memory, and the

printer executes no operations. All the data in the memory is then printed when an ESC FF or FF

command is received.

For example, when the printer receives the data "ABCDEF" <LF> in standard mode, it prints

"ABCDEF" and feeds the paper by one line. In page mode, "ABCDEF" is written to the specified

area in memory, and the position in memory for the next print data is shifted by one line.

The ESC L command puts the printer into page mode, and all commands received thereafter are

processed in page mode. Executing an ESC FF command prints the received data collectively,

and executing an FF command restores the printer to standard mode after the received data is

printed collectively. Executing an ESC S command restores the printer to standard mode without

printing the received data in page mode; the received data is cleared from memory instead.
