Page mode
DK-2300
supports page mode. For this mode is needed larger RAM, so it is possible, that some
of the older printers will not support it. You can check this using command
ESC Z
(bit
29.6
will
be set if page mode is supported).
New
13
commands are added in page mode, most of the old command work differently.
In standard mode the device prints the data after receiving new line command (
LF
or
CR
depending on memory switches) or when the line is wider than the defined print area.
In page mode the result of incoming commands is forwarded to a reserved memory area
(page). The page place and size is defined using command
ESC W
. Command
GS T
selects
the print direction in this page. At the end the collected information is printed using one of the
commands, provided for this. Commands
ESC FF
and
GS FF
print only the currently defined
page, but command
ESC Z
prints the area between the first and last line containing at least one
black point.
All commands except
GS L
and
GS W
work in page mode. The centering and right alignment
(command
ESC a
) is working in the currently defined page width.
Ruled lines
New commands are added to make printing tables in standard and page mode easier.
The printer has two line buffers with size the maximum printing width (paper width in standard
mode or the selected page width in page mode). When ruled lines are active, then every
horizontal line of the text line is combined with the selected ruled line buffer. Bit ‘1’ in the ruled
line buffer is a black dot in OR mode and inverts the color of the dot in XOR mode. Two
commands allow the ruled line buffers to be printed without combining with a text line.
When pressing the
FEED
button, no ruled lines buffer is applied.
All ruled lines commands start with symbol
DC3
(ASCII code 13h).
Please see command
DC2 =
, too .
Warning!
The ruled lines print position depends not on
GS L
and
GS W
(left margin and line width)
and is always at the beginning of the line (or at the beginning of the printable area in page
mode). The printed text and graphic change their position according these commands.
When printing 180 degrees rotated lines (command
ESC {
) ruled lines buffers are not
rotated!
