6 . 1 . P r in t C o mma n d The PORTI-Series supports the following commands for printing character and advancing paper: Co mmand N ame LF Print and line feed ESC J Print and feed paper ESC d Print and feed n lines FF Print and return to standard mode(in page mode) ESC FF Print data in page mode LF [Name] Print and line feed [Format] ASCII LF HEX 0A Decimal 10 [Description] Print the data in the print buffer and feeds one line based on the current line spacing.
ESC d n [Name] Print and feed n lines [Format] ASCII ESC d n HEX 1B 64 n Decimal 27 100 n [Range] 0 ≤n ≤ 255 [Description] Prints the data in the print buffer and feeds n lines. [Note] 1) This command sets the print starting position to the beginning of the line. 2) This command does not affect the line spacing set by ESC 2 or ESC 3. [Reference] ESC 2, ESC 3 FF [Name] Print and return to standard mode in page mode.
6 . 2 . L in e S pa c in g C o mma n d The PORTI-Series supports the following commands for setting line spacing. These commands only set the line spacing; they do not actually advance the paper. The line spacing set using these commands affects the results of LF and ESC d and paper feeding by using the FEED button.
3) The GS P command can change the horizontal (and vertical) motion unit. However, the value cannot be less than the minimum vertical movement amount, and it must be in even units of the minimum vertical movement amount. 4) In standard mode, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.

following data is not underlined, and the underline thickness set before the mode is turned off does not change. The default underline thickness is 1 dot. 4) Changing the character size does not affect the current underline thickness. 5) Underline mode can also be turned on or off by using ESC !. Note, however, that the last received command is effective. [Default] n=0 [Reference] ESC ! ESC E n [Name] Turn emphasized mode On/Off.

2) When the panel buttons are disabled, none of them are usable when the printer cover is closed. 3) In this printer, the panel buttons is the FEED button. 4) In the macro ready mode, the FEED button are enabled regardless of the settings of this command; however, the paper cannot be fed by using these buttons.

A ppe n d ix A.MISCELLANEOUS NOTES 1. Printer mechanism handing 1) Do not pull the paper out when the cover is closed. 2) Because the thermal elements of the print head and driver ICs are easy to break, so do not touch them with any metal objects. 3) Since the areas around the print head become very hot during and just after printing, do not touch them. 4) Do not use the cover open button except when necessary.
7) If the surfac e of thermal paper is sc ratc hed with a hard metal objec t suc h as a nail, the paper may bec ome disc olored. Notes on thermal paper storage Since color development begins at 70C (158F), thermal paper should be protected from high temperature, humidity, and light, both before and after printing. 1) Store paper away from high temperature and humidity. Do not store thermal paper near a heater or in enclosed places exposed to direct sunlight.
