Selecting Emulations The emulations offered by Printer Mobile Thermal Printers allow for a great deal of language commonality between the various series of Printek printers as well as compatibility with systems and software that have been created for printers offered by other manufacturers. The Printek MtP Series printers offer Printek, O’Neil, ZPL-II and CPCL emulations plus a Printek Mt3 emulation to allow the printers to work with existing three inch applications. The printer’s defaul

Printek Emulation Introduction This section describes the control codes and escape sequences comprising Printek emulation. This emulation may be selected by setting “Emulation” to “Printek” in the appropriate interface setup menu, or via software with the ESC ESC 1 sequence. While this emulation is selected, control codes and escape sequences from other emulations are not available. Control codes and escape sequences are used to control printer operation. An ASCII control code is a si

Printek Emulation Control Codes and Escape Sequences Grouped by Function Communications This section describes various methods of controlling the flow of data to and from the printer. Unlike other sections describing printer commands, the descriptions in this section indicate whether the command is one that is “received” by the printer, or “transmitted” by the printer. Note that some handshaking methods are only supported by the RS-232C Serial interface and are not supported for the IrD

Printek Emulation Transmitter Off (Transmitted by Printer, Serial Only) XOFF (DC3) When enabled for the Serial Interface (refer to the Operator’s Manual), this character is transmitted by the printer to indicate that the printer’s input buffer is nearly full and that the host computer should stop sending data. When the printer is able to accept data again, it will transmit DC1/XON. Control Code: XOFF Hexadecimal: 13 Character Size and Line Spacing Select Character Pitch ESC K n Sets t

Printek Emulation Set Printer to 22.6 cpi SI Sets the character size to 22.6 cpi. This is equivalent to sending ESC k 4. This command must be sent prior to any printable characters on the line. If sent after printable characters are received, a Carriage Return and Line Feed will be inserted and a new line started before the command takes effect. Control Code: SI Hexadecimal: 0F Set Printer to 22. 6 cpi DC4 Sets the character size to 22.6 cpi. This is equivalent to sending ESC k 4.

Printek Emulation Horizontal Position Carriage Return CR Causes the current line to be printed and the paper to advance to the next line. The current print position is set to the beginning of the next line. Note that either a Carriage Return (CR) or a Line Feed (LF) will cause both functions to be performed. However, a Carriage Return and Line Feed “pair” (CRLF) will only perform a single line feed. Control code: CR Hexadecimal: 0D Backspace BS Removes the previous character from t

However, a Carriage Return and Line Feed “pair” (CRLF) will only perform a single line feed. Control code: LF Hexadecimal: 0A Variable Size Line Feed ESC J n Causes paper to be moved forward n x 0.125mm. 0 ≤ n ≤ 255. A Carriage Return is also performed which places the current print position at the beginning of the next line. Example: The following escape sequence p

Printek Emulation Bar Codes The MtP Series printers will automatically print several types barcode symbols using the following command. The specification for each bar code type is also described. Print Bar Code ESC a t n h data Printek printers support several bar code symbologies including Code 39, Code 128, UCC/EAN-128, Interleaved 2 of 5, UPC/EAC/JAN, and Codabar. The following table describes the Bar Code command. Details for each specific bar code type, including examples, are fo

Printek Emulation Code 128 Specifications Description: Each symbol starts with Leading Quiet Zone, followed with Start Symbol, Data Symbols, ending with Stop Symbol and Trailing Quiet Zone. Character set: 256 ASCII via three Code Sets and an “Extend” function. Elements per symbol: 6 (3 bars, 3 spaces) Character density: 9.1 CPI Bar width: 0.25mm The first character position in the data portion of the escape sequence must contain a “Start Character”, as defined below. This Start
