5-17 ●Transmission Sequences
5.3.5-2 Text setup rules
(1) Line count
● When you change the line count for a print item in a certain column, you must also set the line
count for the other print items that belong to the same column.
(Example)
1357
2468
135
24678
Setting items 7 and 8 to one line
Transmit the line count consecutively to items 7 and 8. If you transmit the line count to only one
of them, a communication error occurs.
● When you change the line count for a print item, you must also set the line count for the other print
items that belong to the same column as the former one.
(Example)
135
24678
Setting items 7 and 8 to two lines
1357
2468
Transmit the line count consecutively to items 7 and 8. If you transmit the line count to only one
of them, a communication error occurs.
(2) 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 setting to the other print items in the same column.
(3) Character size and inter-character space
● The available inter-character space varies with the character size.
See "4.7.4 Set dot matrix, inter-character space, and other parameters" of the Instructions
Manual.
● The total number of vertical dots cannot exceed the limit.
Machine type Maximum number of vertical dots
RX-BD, RX-SD(3-line) 30 dots
Option:RX-SD(4-line) 32 dots
Option:RX-SD(5-line) 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.
See "4.7.4 Set dot matrix, inter-character space, and other parameters" of the Instructions
Manual.
● 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.
