Select your printer model

Parameters are refined by the selected printer.

<batch-begin>

This element allows you to start the batch normal print mode.

Sample program

  • Prints characters [ABCDE] in the batch normal print mode.
  •  
    		 
    <batch-begin>
<text>ABCDE</text>
<batch-end>

Supplementary explanation

  • This element does not work in the page mode.
  • Use the element for batch normal printing (Example: <text>) by enclosing between this element and <batch-end>.
  • Do not use the following elements between this element and <batch-end>.
    • <page>
    • <cut>
    • <pulse>
    • <sound>
  • The data volume that the printer can process in a single batch normal print is as described below.
    • Strings: 80 lines
    • Graphics: 2400 dots
  • When you are using an element (Example: <text>) in the batch normal print mode, you must take care while using certain elements.

  • Element

    Precautions

    <text>
    • If the longitudinal direction is set to triple angle or higher with the height attribute before this element, then this element and the succeeding elements will become double-angled.
    • If the longitudinal direction is set to triple angle or higher with the height attribute after this element, then the specification in the longitudinal direction will be ignored and become single-angled.

    <feed>

    The number of paper feed lines varies depending on the line spacing specified in the linespc attribute. If the line spacing is specified as 30 in the linespc attribute, paper feeding can be performed for eight lines with the maximum value of the unit attribute as 255.

    <image>
    • If the total vertical size of print data exceeds 2400 dots, printing may not be performed as intended. For example, if 500-dot data B is sent to a location in the printer buffer where 2000-dot data A is accumulated, then data B will be accumulated in the printer buffer after data A has been printed.
    • The multi-gradation (16 scales) maximum size is up to 600 dots vertically.
      In the case of multi-gradation (16 scales), a data volume that is four times that of monochrome (2 scales) is required.
    • If the vertical size of one image element exceeds the data volume that can be processed in one go, printing will not be performed.
      Monochrome (2 scales) maximum value: 2400 dots
      Multi-gradation (16 scales) maximum value: 600 dots
