[Description]

Transmits the size information for printing the DataMatrix symbol data stored with GS ( k   <Function 680> in the symbol storage area.

[Notes]

  • In Standard mode, use this function when the printer is "at the beginning of a line," or "there is no data in the print buffer."
  • The size information for each data is as follows;

  • (∗1) 
    "Horizontal size" and "vertical size" indicate the number of dots of the symbol. The decimal value of the vertical size and horizontal size is converted to text data and sent starting from the high order end.
    (ex: When horizontal size is 120 dots, horizontal size is "120" (in hexadecimal: 31h, 32h, and 30h / in decimal: 49, 50, and 48 ), which is 3 bytes of data.)
    (∗2) 
    "Other information" indicates whether printing of the data in the symbol storage area is possible or impossible. The "Other information" is the following.
    Other information
    Condition
    Hex
    Decimal
    30h
    48
    Printing is possible
    31h

    (∗3) 
    [Error information] indicates mainly detailed information when [Other information] is [Unprintable].
    Error information
    Error content
    Solution
    "0000"
    No error (printing is possible)
    -
    "1001"
    Encoded data cannot be within one symbol.
    Check the number of encoded data.
    "1002"
    Encode processing failed.
    Check the encoded data.
    "2001"
    When the Standard mode is selected, there is data in the print buffer.
    Print or clear the data in the print buffer.
    "2002"
    The symbol size is bigger than the current printing area.
    • The symbol is bigger than the printing area.
    • The printing position is at the buffer-full position.
    Make the module size smaller.
    Change the printing layout (printing area, printing position, etc.)
  • Size information indicates size of symbol that is printed with GS ( k   <Function 681> .
  • This function does not print.
  • This function is ignored in the following cases:
    • If m is outside its range.
    • When the active sheet is paper other than roll paper.
  • The quiet zone is not included in the size information.
  • See [Notes for transmission process] for process sending data group.
