Supplementary explanation

• To print data other than text after printing text, feed a line or page.
• In the page mode, text is printed from the current print position with the base line dot of the characters as the standard. For information on the base line dot, refer to Printer-specific Support Information.
• Fonts not installed on the printer cannot be printed.
• For the character codes and international character set available for printing, refer to the Technical Reference Guide of the printer.
• For information on available fonts, refer to the Technical Reference Guide of the printer.
• If both of the dw attribute and width attribute are specified in a single element, the scaling factor specified with the width attribute is used.
• If both of the dh attribute and height attribute are specified in a single element, the scaling factor specified with the height attribute is used.
• Colors assigned to the first to fourth colors depend on the printer model.
• In the page mode, the “x” attribute works in the same way as <position> to specify the horizontal print position.
• The “y” attribute does not work in the standard mode.
• The “align” and “rotate” attributes do not work in the page mode.
• Specify the align attribute at the "beginning of the line.”
• The align attribute setting in the <text> element also applies to the align attribute in the <image>, <logo>, <barcode>, and <symbol> elements.
• The rotate attribute setting in the <text> element also applies to the rotate attribute in the <barcode> and <symbol> elements.
• Use <direction> to enable text rotation in the page mode.
• For slip, endorsement, or validation printing, an integer from 1 to 2 can be set for the width and height.
• When specifying the lang attribute, specify it at the beginning of the print request.
