TH230/TH230+ Programmers Guide

• When the power is turned off, the printer transmits [header + status +

NUL] to the host.

Power off notice Hex Decimal Data

Header 0x3B 59 1 byte

Status 0x30 48 1 byte

NUL 0x00 0 1 byte

• The power-off notice can be differentiated from other transmission

data. When the data transmitted from the printer is

[Hex=0x3B/Decimal=59], the host should process 3 bytes of data up to

NUL as the notice from the printer. If the second byte is

[Hex=30H/Decimal=48], this is the power off notice. An exception is

described below:

• When the host is communicating with the printer by XON/XOFF

control, an XOFF code might interrupt [Header ~ NUL].

• In iPRINT this command leads to a virtual pressing of the power button.

Depending of the settings in the Operating System the behavior is

different (hibernation, power down, do nothing…). The TH230+ printer

part of the iPRINT system follows the achieved power state.

DC1

Function:

Print raster monochrome graphics

Code ASCII: DC1 n1 … n72 (576 dots, 80 mm paper), or n51 (408 dots, 57.5 mm

paper)

Code HEX:

0x11 n1 … n72 (576 dots for 80 mm paper), or n51 (408 dots for 57.5 mm

paper)

Range: n1 to n72/n51 corresponds to one dot row data for a thermal receipt

printer

Description: This command is identical to command GS 0x82.

DC2

Function: Select Double-Wide Characters

Code ASCII: DC2

Code HEX:

0x12

Description: Prints double-wide characters. The printer is reset to single-wide mode

after a

line has been printed or the Clear Printer (0x10) command is received.

Double-wide characters may be used in the same line with single-wide
