1. OUTLINE

1.1 Operation Mode

PPU-700 has ESC/POSTM as control commands.

1.2 Character Set

All print data sent from the host computer to the printer are automatically converted to one-byte

alphanumeric or katakana characters (ANK) or two-byte Kanji corresponding to the characters and

symbols.

NOTE: For the contents of character set, refer to “3. Character Code Table” of this document.

1.3 Control Commands

1.3.1 Control Command Details

Control Commands are used for controlling the operations of the printer such as starting/stopping of

printing, line feeding, paper feeding, etc. They control all functions related to printing, such as type

of characters, enlargement of characters or setting of format.

1.3.2 How to Send Control Commands

Some methods are available for sending Control Commands from the host computer to the printer.

Here, a method of sending by BASIC programming is explained.

Example 1

Let’s print a character string “CITIZEN” in enlarged (double-height, double-width) and in normal

format.

Program coding

The Control Command shows that the command name for setting the size of a character is GS !.

Let’s make a program using this code. An example is shown below.

In lines 20 and 50, setting and canceling of enlarging a character is sent. As a result, lines 30 and 60

print the same character string but line 30 prints enlarged characters and line 60 cancels the

enlargement and prints in normal format.

* In this document, sample programs are in BASIC. For details of BASIC programming, refer to the

manual for BASIC.

10 A$="CITIZEN"

20 LPRINT CHR$(&H1D);"!"; CHR$(&H33);

30 LPRINT A$;

40 LPRINT CHR$(&HA); CHR$(&HA);

50 LPRINT CHR$(&H1D);"!"; CHR$(&H00);

60 LPRINT A$;

70 END
