Print zones for 82.5mm paper
Specications of print zone for 82.5 mm paper:
• 640 dots (addressable) @ 8 dots/mm, centered on 82.5mm
• Standard mode: minimum margins: 1.0mm (0.040 inches)
• Top margin to manual tear-off: 17.8mm (0.70 inches)
• Top margin to knife cut: 19.0mm (0.75 inches)
Rotated printing commands
Three commands control the rotation of printing. The table shows the combinations of set/cancel upside down print, set/
cancel rotated print (clockwise), and rotated print (counterclockwise).
Rotated clockwise and rotated counterclockwise print commands are mutually exclusive: the setting of the last received
command is effective. Unintended consequences may result when rotated clockwise is mixed with other commands.
The samples of the print show only the normal-size characters. Double-wide and double-high characters are printed in the
same orientation. They may also be mixed on the same line.
