Page 11 C O N F I D E N T I A L more more Tips (Print commands) These are the print commands. All the commands have the same printing result but an operation after printing differs depending on the command. Using the appropriate command enables you to easily make an effective program for issuing a receipt.
Page 12 C O N F I D E N T I A L more more <ESC d: Print and feed n lines> The command is used to feed paper continuously. The printing result is the same as when transmitting LF n times continuously. Using ESC d enables you to feed paper smoothly and to shorten paper feed time, since LF is used for repeating one line paper feed n times.

Page 18 Tips (bar code printing) Some printers such as the TM-T88II and TM-L60II support bar code printing. ESC/POS supports UPC-A, UPC-E, JAN13(EAN13), JAN8(EAN8), CODE39, ITF (interleaved 2 of 5), CODABAR(NW7), CODE93, and CODE128. When the standard mode is selected, a bar code and a character cannot be printed on the same printing line and a ladder bar code cannot be printed.
Page 19 C O N F I D E N T I A L more more Causes for not printing a bar code: 1. The bar code width set by GS w is so large that not all data will fit in the current printing area.
Page 20 C O N F I D E N T I A L more more Page Mode Printing This example illustrates ESC/POS command functions and printing results. The example shows a coupon issue processing and its procedure using page mode function with the TM-T88II. You can use the page mode to rotate data so that you can print characters, bar codes, and bit images that would not fit in the printable area in the standard mode.

Page 25 Tips (standard mode/page mode) Some of the TM printers, such as the TM-T88II and the TM-L60II, support two different print modes: standard mode and page mode. The standard mode is supported by all printers and in this mode, the printers print data in the print buffer by executing the print commands (such as LF, CR, and ESC J) or when the buffer is full.
Page 26 C O N F I D E N T I A L more more Characteristics of the page mode The flexible layout enables you to execute printing which you cannot accomplish in the standard mode. Downloaded bit images or bar codes can be printed on the same line with characters at the same time. Ladder bar code printing is possible.

Page 30 Tips (label printer) Some TM printers, such as the TM-L60II, can print on labels. ESC/POS has label commands for the mechanism control function type, such as ejecting a label or feeding paper to the print starting position and has commands such as a serial number counter that apply to the label printers.
Page 31 C O N F I D E N T I A L Serial number counter Features for the serial number counter function: 1. Operation is possible in the range of the counter values from 1 to 65535. 2. There are two counter modes, count-up and count-down. 3.
