Comparison Chart
The following table details the list of commands whose behavior differs from the 7193 and
the 7197 because of the physical differences of a 6 dots/mm head (7193) versus an 8
dots/mm head (7197).
Command Description Difference between 7193 and 7197
configured in 7193 Emulation Mode.
15 n Feed n Dot Rows This command will move
the paper on the receipt in
n/203 inch steps instead of
n/152 inch steps.
16 n Add n Extra Dot Rows The dot rows will be
measured in n/203 inches
versus n/152 inches.
1B 20 n Set Right-Side Character
Spacing
This command sets the right
side spacing to “n”
horizontal motion units. By
default, these units are in
terms of 1/203 inches versus
1/152 inches.
1B 24 n1 n2 Set Absolute Starting Position For graphics commands, the
position is scaled to best
7193. In text mode, the
equivalent character position
is calculated.

Define User-Defined
Character Set
Since the dots on the 7197
print head are smaller, user-
defined characters that were
used on the previous printer
will appear smaller on the
7197 printer.
1B 2A m n1 n2 d1...dn Select Bit Image Mode In 7193 Emulation Mode,
graphics are scaled to best
match the size of the graphic
in the 7193 printer.
1B 33 n Set Line Spacing This command uses n in
terms of n/360 inches. Since
the 7193 had a fundamental
step of 1/152 inch and the
7197 has a fundamental step
of 1/203 inch, the actual line
spacing will not exactly
match the requested
spacing.
