CHAPTER 5 TPCL-LE MODE (INTERFACE COMMANDS)
B-EP
Series
5-143
Explanation
(1)
Link field data string
• After the link field No. is designated using the Format Command, the data strings are
linked by the Link Field Data Command to draw an image.
• Up to 255 characters of data strings can be linked. However, when the font type is U,
V, r, s, w or 51, up to 127 characters can be linked. When it is r as a 4-byte code, up to
63 characters can be linked.
When the number of characters exceeds the maximum number of digits, the excess data
will be discarded.
• Up to 99 data strings can be linked.
• Up to 2048 bytes can be used as the command length ([ESC] to [NUL]) of the Link Field
Data Command.
• When the data string is omitted using the Link Field Data Command, the following
process is performed:
c
No process will be performed for the field which contains no print data due to the
omission.
d
When the field partially loses print data due to the omission, the only remaining data
will be processed as print data.
• The Link Field Data Command can be used for the bit map font fields, outline font fields
and barcode fields.
• (The same result is obtained when any of the “RC,” “RV” or “RB” command code is
designated.)
Notes
(1) For character sets from 41 to 43, a character code consisting of 1 byte is stored.
However, when the character code is read, F0H is added to the upper digit or FFH is
added to the upper digit with Chinese characters installed, and consists of 2 bytes. In this
case, up to 188 characters can be stored per character set.
