[Description]

Saves line data in the print buffer when Page mode is selected.
  • x1L, x1H, y1L, y1H set the line drawing start coordinate [X start position, Y start position] as the start position reference.
    • X start position: [(x1L + x1H × 256) × horizontal and vertical motion units]
    • Y start position: [(y1L + y1H × 256) × horizontal and vertical motion units]
  • x2L, x2H, y2L, y2H set the line drawing end coordinate [X end position, Y end position] as the start position reference.
    • X end position: [(x2L + x2H × 256) × horizontal and vertical motion units]
    • Y end position: [(y2L + y2H × 256) × horizontal and vertical motion units]
  • m1 sets the type of line. The line width differs according to the model (refer to the model information).

[Notes]

  • This function can be used when Page mode is selected. Select Page modewith ESC L.
  • You cannot specify a start coordinate [X start position, Y start position] and end coordinate [X end position, Y end position] that exceed the printing area set with ESC W.
  • You cannot specify a start coordinate [X start position, Y start position] and end coordinate [X end position, Y end position] that are the same coordinate.
  • Lines that can be drawn are lines horizontal in relation to characters (Y start position = Y end position) and lines vertical in relation to characters (X start position = X end position). Diagonal lines cannot be specified.
  • X and Y and the horizontal and vertical motion units used for the start position specified with ESC T are changed as shown in the table below.
  • ESC T start position
    Start position / end position
    Horizontal and vertical motion units used
    Top left or bottom right
    X: Vertical in relation to paper feed direction (horizontal direction of characters)
    X: Horizontal (vertical in relation to paper feed direction)
    Y: Paper feed direction (vertical direction of characters)
    Y: Vertical (paper feed direction)
    Top right or bottom left
    X: Paper feed direction (horizontal direction of characters)
    X: Vertical (paper feed direction)
    Y: Vertical in relation to paper feed direction (vertical direction of characters)
    Y: Horizontal (vertical in relation to paper feed direction)
  • If the line width is 2 dots or more, the line is thickened according to the rules shown in the table below, based on the relationship between the specified start coordinate and end coordinate. However, line data that exceeds the printing area is not saved in the print buffer.
  • Condition 1
    Condition 2
    Line thickening method
    Y start position = Y end position(Lines horizontal in relation to characters)
    X start position < X end position
    Thickened downward as seen with the start position at top left
    X start position > X end position
    Thickened upward as seen with the start position at top left
    X start position = X end position(Lines vertical in relation to characters)
    Y start position < Y end position
    Thickened rightward as seen with the start position at top left
    Y start position > Y end position
    Thickened leftward as seen with the start position at top left
  • When this function is executed, the printing position does not change.
