  • (∗1)
    "Type of information" transmits the value n converted into character data expressed by decimal numbers from the high order end.
    Example:
    When the setting of "Type of information" is (n = 64), it is 2-byte data of "64" [Hex = 36h, 34h / Decimal = 54, 52].
    When the setting of "Type of information" is (n = 80), it is 2-byte data of "80" [Hex = 38h, 30h / Decimal = 56, 48].
    (∗2)
    "Layout information" is transmitted sequentially, converting the character data into decimal data.
    Example:
    When "Layout basis" is "64," it is 2-byte of "64" [Hex = 36h, 34h / Decimal = 54, 52]

  • Setting value (n = 64) is specified as the type of information, transmit data are as follows:
    • (sa – sh) of the layout information corresponds to (sa) and (sb) – (sh) of GS ( E   <Function 49> .
    • "Setting value" means the paper layout information: setting value of GS ( E   <Function 49> and GS ( A ( m = 64), stored in the non-volatile memory.
    • The paper layout information that is not stored in non-volatile memory cannot be transmitted. In this case, only the separator is transmitted.
  • Transmit data when effect value is specified (n = 80) as the type of information are as follows:
    • (sa – sh) of the layout information corresponds to (sa) of GS ( E   <Function 49> and each element (sb) – (sh) of vertical and horizontal layout illustrated in the GS ( E   <Function 49> .
    • "Effect value" means the value used in actual operation, calculated based on the following values (in one dot units.)
      • Paper layout information (setting value of GS ( E   <Function 49> and GS ( A (auto set of the paper layout)), stored in the non-volatile memory.
      • Setting value of the paper width.
      • Regulated value by the mechanical structure (minimum pitch, left and right margin of the print area).
      • The paper layout information that is not used in actual print operation cannot be transmitted. In this case, only the separator is transmitted.
  • The relationship between setting value of vertical layout (sg) and effect value is as follows.
  • Graphic
    A = Edge of the paper – left edge of the printable area
    B = Setting value of paper layout (sg)
    C = Effective value (A-B) of paper layout (sg)
