5-2 Printable Area n Printable Area The print area must be within the range indicated below. (1) TM-T6O/T6OP Units: mm Print head printing position (2) TM-T8O/T8OP Units: mm Print head printing positi.
5 -3 Miscellaneous Notes n Notes on printing and paper feeding (1) Because the TM-T60/T8OP and TM-T8O/T8OP are a line printer, they automatically feed paper after printing the data. When the line spacing is set to a small value, the paper may be fed mare than the set amount to print all the data.
(2) When the printer goes to the standby (data-waiting) state during printing, the printer stops printing and feeding paper temporarily. When the printer restarts, the paper may shift 1 to 3 dots at the start of printing. Graphics printing is particularly affected by this.
n n Handling thermal paper (1) Notes on using thermal paper Chemicals and oil that come into contact with the thermal paper may cause paper discoloration, and can also cause the ‘printing to fade. Therefore, pay attention to the following: a) Use water-based paste, starch paste, polyvinyl paste, or MC paste when gluing thermal paper.
5 - 4 Error Correction n ERROR LED (red) Lights: On when the printer cover is not closed completely, or when the paper roll is near the end. Blinking: Blinks during the error states shown in Table 5-3. Blinks during the print-waiting state (macro executing command) shown in Table 5-4.

6 - 3 Commands HT Horizontal tab < 09 > H Moves the print position to the next horizontal tab position. . This command is ignored unless the next horizontal tab position has been set. - Horizontal tab positions are set using ESC D. - The default horizontal tab positions are at intervals of 8 characters (9th column, 17th, 25th.
ESC SP n Set character right-side spacing < 1B > H < 20 > H <n > Sets the character right-side spacing in dot units ( l/180- inch units). • The character right-side spacing for double-width mode is twice the set value. n= O ESC ! n Set print mode < 1B > H < 21 > H < n > Sets a print mode.

- A horizontal tab position is stored as the absolute value of (character width X n) measured from the beginning of the line. The character width includes the character right- side spacing, and double-width characters should be set with twice the width of normal characters.
ESC R n Select international character set n selects an international character set from the following table. n 0 1 2 3 4 5 Country n Country U.S.A. 6 Italy France 7 Spain Germany 8 Japa n U.

Sets or cancels upside-down character printing. - Only the lowest bit of n is valid. When n = <*******1> B , upside-down character printing is set. When n = <*******0> B , upside-down character printing is canceled. - The upside-down character specification rotates normal characters on the line by 180° and prints them.
Sets the print starting position to the specified number of dots (1/180 inch units) from the beginning of the line. - Divide the number of dots by 256. The integer answer is n2 and the remainder is n1. Therefore, the print starting position becomes n1+n2X256 from the beginning of the line.

6 - 4 Program Descriptions TM-T60/T80 1. Introduction The TM-T6O/T80 is connected to the host computer by an RS-232C interface. The TM-T60/T80 is easily controlled by sending data and commands from the host computer. The following examples use the main commands from MS-DOS BASIC.
In order to execute ESC @ (Initialize the printer) send “@" following the ESC code. Always write ” ; ” at the end of the commands or BASIC will send a CR and LF code. Sending Print Data 120 PRINT #1, “ABCDEF” ;CHR$(1O); Always send a LF code (CHR$ (10)) after print data.
Selecting character Font A and Double-width 150 PRINT #1, CHR$(27); ”!” ;CHR$(48); 160 PRINT #1, ”ABCDEFGHIJK” ;CHR$(10); TM-T60 Font A (normal) Font A (double-width) : 32 characters per line. : 16 characters per line. Resetting the style to Normal.
Selecting international character codes 280 PRINT #1, CHR$(91);CHR$(92);CHR$(93);CHR$(94);CHR$(l0); 290 PRINT #1, CHR$(27); "R" ;CHR$(1); 300 PRINT #1, CHR$(91);CHR$(92);CHR$(93);CHR$(94);CHR$(l0); 280 prints 4 U. S. A characters. (default) 300 prints 4 French characters.
Using the drawer kick 350 PRINT #1, CHR$(27);"p";CHR$(O);CHR$(10);CHR$(100); The “p” generates a specified pulse; Refer to ESC p m n1 n2. In line 350, the module terminal of the drawer kick outputs a 20-ms pulse followed by a 200-ms wait.
