explanation (1) link field data string
· after the link field no. is designated in the format command, data strings are
linked using the link field data command to draw an image.
· up to 255 digits of data strings can be linked. however, up to 127 digits can be
linked when the font type is u, v, w or x. when the number of digits exceeds the
maximum value, exceeding 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 in the link field data command, the following
processing is performed:
① no processing will be performed for the field which contains no print data due
to the omission.
② 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 bar code fields.
(the same result is obtained when any of the “rc,” “rv” or “rb” command code
is designated.)
(2) kanji code data string
· when the font type is u, v, w or x, kanji is printed. jis non-kanji, jis level 1,
jis level 2, special characters, and half-width alphanumerics can be printed. in
this case, the kanji rom is required. (for the ja model only)
· shift jis, jis hexadecimal, and jis 8 codes can be used as a character code.
these codes can be mixed. (for the ja model only)
refer to bit map font format command ([esc] pc)
