● For the output of the fixed-size user pattern, the character size and the page number have to be
specified. When “1” is specified for the page number, the user pattern of the 1st page of the
registration keyboard will be output.
● Registration numbers of the keyboard are set respectively to:
the 1st page:0 ~ 36; the 2nd page:37 ~ 73; the 3rd page:74 ~ 110;
the 4 page:111 ~ 147; the 5th page:148 ~ 184; the 6th page:185 ~ 199.
th
● When the 1st page through the 5th page is specified, 37 patterns will be output. When the 6th page is
specified, 15 patterns will be output.
● Data of the user patterns will be output in the same configuration as those of the user registration
character transmission. Therefore, if 03H is output, it may NOT be ETX code but the pattern data.
Even if 03H is received at receiving side, it is necessary to receive the entire size of text transmission.
The text size can be calculated from the “pattern data” as shown below.

(28) Standard character pattern
● For the output of the standard character pattern, the keyboard type, the character size and the page
number have to be specified. When “numeric/symbol” and “1” are specified for the keyboard type and
for the page number respectively, the standard character patterns of the 1st page of the
numeric/symbol keyboard on the standard character pattern editing screen will be output.
● The characters registered on the keyboard will be output.
● Data of the standard character patterns will be output in the same configuration as those of the user
registration character transmission. Therefore, if 03H is output, it may NOT be ETX code but the
pattern data. Even if 03H is received at receiving side, it is necessary to receive the entire size of text
transmission. The text size can be calculated from the “pattern data” as shown below.
● The dull sound characters will be output with NO mark of dull sound.

When an inquiry from external device is received before output is complete, the current printing output is
interrupted and the output for inquiry will be made.

7.4 Response structure of output communication when inquired with ESC format
The response structure of the output communication when the inquiries are made with ESC format is
described below.
(1) Print line setup

• All setup items will be output for the Print lines where Number of lines, Line spacing and Character size in
column are the same. Consecutive “Columns and Lines” of the same setup will be one data. This is a
variable length communication.

100.
(Column number 1 x Number of Lines) + (Column number 2 x Number of Lines) + ······· +
(Column number n x Number of Lines) = 100 maximum.

● Data of the user patterns will be output in the same configuration as those of the user registration
character transmission. Therefore, if 03H is output, it may NOT be ETX code but the pattern data.
Even if 03H is received at receiving side, it is necessary to receive the entire transmission text size.
