4 = Two-color (blue/black) papers (Kanzaki P-320BB)
5 = Two-color (red/black) papers (Kanzaki P-320PB)
Default: 0 (monochrome paper)
This command will set the optimum parameter values in the thermal print engine control hardware for any dened
monochrome or two-color paper chemistry. The m n parameters select paper category and formulation version,
respectively.
(m n = 0 0) denes the default monochrome (black category, initial version) paper, out-of-box printers will also have
factory pre-set descriptions for customer selected color types; initial release consists of two dened color types: (m n =
1 0) Kanzaki P-310RB red/black paper, (m n = 4 0) Kanzaki P-320BB blue/black paper, and (m n = 5 0) Kanzaki P-320RB
red/black paper.
When issuing this command a value of n = 0xFF can always be used; that is interpreted as requesting the setting of the
highest version dened in the printer of that category. This is a safe way for an application to always select the latest of
a manufacturer’s paper category, thus choosing “ latest standard red/black”.
An incorrect setting of m n for a two-color paper or non-standard monochrome paper, or failure to set m n when a
color paper is inserted will result in poor print quality printing.
The last set paper type choice is stored in non-volatile memory and is retained after a power loss and across reset
commands. The initial value at rst boot after rmware load (or reload) is m n =0 0.

output quality.

Selects the receipt slip station for all functions. The receipt station is default setting after the
printer is initialized or the clear printer (0x10) command is received.
Set Interpretation of “Set current color”
ASCII US ETX SYN ENQ n
Decimal 31 03 22 05 n
Hexadecimal 1F 03 16 05 n
Value of n: 0-FF (Hex) n = 01 will cause 1B 72 01 to print red. Any other value for 1B 72 will print black.
n = 00 will cause 1B 72 00 to print red and all other values to print black.
This command denes how to interpret the 1B 72 command for legacy environments. It provides a method to resolve
any dierences in the denition of command 1B72 between the A776 native mode and earlier implementations in
other printers.
In A776 native mode, the standard “Set current color” command should be used.
