ASCII ESC BEL n1 n2
Hexadecimal 1B 07 n1 n2
Decimal 27 7 n1 n2
[Defined Area] Thermal : 1 ≤ n1 ≤ 127, 1 ≤ n2 ≤ 127
Slip : 1 ≤ n1 ≤ 127, 1 ≤ n2 ≤ 127
Validation : 1 ≤ n1 ≤ 127, 1 ≤ n2 ≤ 127
[Initial Value] Thermal : n1 = 20 (Energizing time: 200 msec)
n2 = 20 (Delay time: 200 msec)
Slip : n1 = 20 (Energizing time: 200 msec)
n2 = 20 (Delay time: 200 msec)
Validation : n1 = 20 (Energizing time: 200 msec)
n2 = 20 (Delay time: 200 msec)
[Function] Sets the energizing and delay times for drive of the external device.
• Energizing time = 10 x n1 (ms)
• Delay time = 10 x n2 (ms)
After printing, this is executed by BEL (External device 1 drive instruction) or FS (External device 1
drive instruction).
Handled in the following way when n1 and n2 are out of range.
• When n1 = 0, or n2 = 0, this command is ignored.
• When n1 > 127 is specified, n1 = 127; when n2 > 127 is specified, n2 = 127.
(Note) The settings using this command are valid for all stations and modes.
