● Transmission Sequences 6-23
b) Line spacing
● When you transmit one-line setup data for a certain print item, you have to
transmit a line spacing setting of "0" as well as for the same chain as the one-line
setup data.
If you do not transmit an line spacing setting of "0", a communication error
occurs.
● Ensure that the same line spacing setting is selected for print items belonging to
the same column. In other words, when you transmit a new line spacing setting
for a print item in a certain column, you must consecutively transmit the same set-
ting to the other print items in the same column.
c) Character size and inter-character space
● The available inter-character space varies with the character size.
Character size Inter-character space
5×5 0 to 3 dots
5×8 (5×7) 0 to 3 dots
9×8 (9×7) 0 to 7 dots
7×10 0 to 3 dots
12×16 0 to 4 dots
18×24 0 to 6 dots
24×32 0 to 8 dots
● The total number of vertical dots cannot exceed the limit.
Machine type Maximum number of vertical dots
Two lines machine 20 dots
Four lines machine 32 dots
● Some characters cannot be entered depending on the character size. If a print item
contains an unavailable character after a character size change, its contents are
changed to a space.

(*1) No voiced-sound or p-sound characters exist. The symbols "゛" and " ゜"
are used to form a two-digit character.
(*2) Voiced-sound and p-sound characters exist.
● If an inter-character space other than "0" is transmitted for a print item for
which bar code setup is completed, a communication error occurs.
d) Bar code use and bar code type
● Two or more bar code types cannot coexist. When a bar code is set up for a
certain print item, the same bar code is set up for the other print items for which
bar code setup was completed.
● For a print item for which bar code setup is not completed, you cannot set a
"bar code type" only while omitting a "bar code use" message.
● When bar code setup is completed for a print item, its inter-character space is
set to "0" without regard to its actual setting. (The inter-character space value
"0" need not be transmitted in this case.)
