Nothing is set.

[Description]

Sets the paper layout (origin of layout, layout in the vertical direction and horizontal direction) in the NV memory.
  • Sets the origin of layout by sa.
  • sa
    Origin of layout
    Paper type
    48
    None (does not use the layout)
    Receipt (without black mark), continuous label
    49
    Top of a black mark
    Paper with black mark
    64
    Bottom of a label
    Label paper (die-cut label)
  • Sets the layout in the vertical direction by (sb) to (sf). (BM = black mark).
  • (sa = 49)
    (sa = 64)
    sb
    Top of a BM – top of next BM.
    Bottom of a label – bottom of the next label.
    sc
    Top of a BM – bottom of BM.
    Bottom of a label – top of the next label.
    sd
    Top of a BM – print starting position.
    Bottom of a label – the print starting position.
    se
    Top of a BM – cutting position.
    Bottom of a label – cutting position.
    sf
    Print starting position – bottom of the print area.
    Print starting position – bottom of the print area.
  • The print starting position set by sd is top of the print area.
  • The setting unit is 0.1 mm. The relationship between each setting value of the layout of the vertical direction and paper layout is as follows.
  • Graphic
  • Sets the layout in the horizontal direction by sg or sh.
  • (sa = 49)
    (sa = 64)
    sg
    Left of the paper – left of print area.
    Left of the paper – left of print area.
    sh
    Left of the print area – right of print area.
    Left of the print area – right of print area.
  • The setting unit is 0.1 mm. The relationship between each setting value of the layout of the vertical direction and paper layout is as follows.
  • Graphic

[Notes]

  • This function works in user setting mode.
  • The origin of layout can be specified by sa as follows.
  • Graphic
  • When Type B paper specified by sa = 49 is used or sa = 64, notice the setting of print area and cutting position as follows.
    • Specify sd, sf, sg, sh so that the print area is on a label area. Don't specify print area on the liner (backing paper).
    • Specify se so that the cutting position is on the liner (backing paper). Don't specify the cutting position on a label area.
  • Specify sa – sh are converted to character codes corresponding to decimal data, then transmitted from the MSB.
  • Example: When specifying 120, data is "120" (in decimal: 49, 50, 48; it is 3 byte).
  • When you don't change the origin of layout that is specified, sa can be omitted. However, ";" cannot be omitted even if the parameter is omitted.
  • Example (sa is omitted): GS ( E pL pH fn ; sb ; sc ; sd ; se ; sf ; sg ; sh ;
  • In any of the following cases, the parameter after sb can be omitted. However, ";" cannot be omitted even if the parameter is omitted.
    • When the origin of layout is "paper layout is not used" (sa = 48).
    • When the origin of layout (sa) is omitted.
    • When the origin of layout is the same type as currently specified origin of layout.
    • Example (sb, sc, sg, sh is omitted): GS ( E pL pH fn a ; ; ; sd ; se ; sf ; ; ;
  • When "paper layout is not used" is specified as the origin of layout (sa = 48), the setting value of the layout of vertical and horizontal direction is "nothing is set" even if you make those settings with the parameter after sb. ";" cannot be omitted even if the parameter is omitted.
  • The effective value used in the actual print operation is calculated based on the setting value of this function, paper width, limited value of the mechanical structure (mechanical pitch or position of print head and so on). The setting value and effective value can be acquired by Function 50.
  • When you replace roll paper with a new one with another layout, set the new paper layout with this function.
  • Paper layout set is valid until the following operations are executed. They are not initialized by power off or ESC @.
    • Execution of this function or function 48.
    • Execution of GS ( A (m = 48)
    • Execution of automatic setting mode of paper layout by panel operation when the power is turned on.
