JCL Command Sets
VERSAJET
Programming Reference
ESC/POS (Epson Standard Code for Point of Sales) is one of the most world-popular command sets, which
was designed to provide the expandability and universal applicability demanded by the market. The JCL (Job
Control Language) is the proprietary printer language of Cino mobile printer supporting ESC/POS emulation.
This not only shortens user’s learning cycle, but also minimizes the system integration efforts.
Furthermore, the VersaJet possesses more practical and useful command sets than ESC/POS., such as the
manipulation on serialization, graphics and 2D bar codes printing. You may refer to “Command Comparison
between JCL and ESC/POS “ for more details.

(1) Receive buffer
The receive buffer is a buffer that stores, as is, the data received from the host (the reception data). The
reception data is stored in the receive buffer temporarily, and is then processed sequentially.
(2) Print buffer
The print buffer is a buffer that stores the image data to be printed.
(3) Print buffer full
This is the state where the print buffer is full. If new print data is input while the print buffer is full, the data
in the print buffer is printed out and a line feed is executed. This is the same operation as the LF operation.
(4) Start of line
The start of line state satisfies the following condition:
ꢀThere is no print data (including spaces and portions of data skipped due to bit image data) currently in
the print buffer.
ꢀThere is no print data (including portions of data skipped due to HT)
ꢀThe print position is not specified by the ESC $ or ESC \ command.

Moves the printing position to the next horizontal tab.
ꢀ This command is ignored unless the next horizontal tab position has been set.
ꢀ Horizontal tab positions are set by ESC D.
ꢀ If the next horizontal tab position exceeds the printing area, the printer sets the printing
position to [Printing area width + 1].
ꢀ If this command is processed when the printing position is at [Printing area width + 1],
the printer executes print buffer-full printing of the current line and horizontal tab
processing from the beginning of the next line. In this case, in page mode, the printer
does not execute printing, but the printing position is moved.
ꢀ When underline mode is turned on, the underline will not be printed under the tab space
skipped by this command.

following data is processed as normal data.
ꢀ This command can define user-defined characters for each font independently. To select
a font, use ESC ! or ESC M.
ꢀ A user-defined character, downloaded graphics, and downloaded bit image cannot be
defined simultaneously.
ꢁ When this command is executed, the downloaded bit image is cleared.
ꢁ When GS * is executed, the user-defined character data is cleared.
ꢀ Once the user-defined characters have been defined, they are available until ESC ?, GS
*, or ESC @ is executed; the user-defined characters are redefined; the power is turned
off; or the printer is reset.
ꢀ The user-defined characters are not defined at the default, and the resident characters
are printed.
ꢀ The relationship between the definition data and printing result is as follows.
Example: Downloaded character definition consists of 9 x 24 dots.

ꢀ Data (d) specifies a bit printed to 1 and not printed to 0.
If the bit image data exceeds the number of dots to be printed on a line, the excess data
is ignored.
ꢀ The bit-image is not affected by print mode(emphasized, double-strike, underline,
character size, white/black reverse printing, or 90° clockwise-rotated), except for
upside-down printing mode.
ꢀ After printing a bit image, the printer processes normal data.
ꢀ This command is used to print a picture or logo.

ꢀ If the printing area width set by GS L and GS W is less than the minimum width, the
printing area is extended to the minimum width only on the line in question. The
minimum width means 1 dot in normal (n=0, 48) and double-height (n=2, 50), 2 dots in

Label Length Measurement
[Notes]
ꢀ When processing the automatic measurement of the label length, the printer feeds the
current roll paper to measure the label length. During this time, the printer does print.
After the measuring, it writes the length of label from the measuring to the non-volatile
memory. Please note the following points when you use this function.
ꢀ The printer may be BUSY when storing data and will not receive any data. In this case,
be sure not to transmit data from the host.
ꢀ Excessive use of this function may destroy the non-volatile memory. As a guideline, do
not use this command more than 10 times per day for writing data to the non-volatile
memory.

Programming Reference
[Notes]
ꢀ After setting the current serialization value in the print buffer as print data, the printer
updates serialization value based on the count mode set before stored in the print buffer.
ꢁ
ꢁ
ꢁ
In count-up mode, the serialization value is updated as [serialization value +
increment value]
In count-down mode, the serialization value is updated as [serialization value –
decrement value].
In count-stop mode, the serialization is not updated.
ꢀ The serialization value in the print buffer is printed when the printer receives a print
command.
ꢀ All serialization settings should be adequate for text or bar code rules. If any improper
data is included, it will result as a command error.
ꢀ Serialization is set by RS q command.

Define flash macro.
[Notes]
ꢀ Macro definition starts when this command is processed during normal operation and
ends when it is processed during macro definition.
ꢀ While the macro is defined, the printing is also executed.
ꢀ The maximum data size to be defined as a macro is 8 KB. If the macro definition
exceeds the maximum data size, this command will not be processed, and the LED1
indicator blinks red, the LED2 and LED3 indicators blink green, LED4 indicators blinks
red (means ‘Command Error’).
ꢀ The macro is executed by RS u.
ꢁ
ꢁ
If the printer processes this command, it will save the macro definition into flash.
The macro can be executed repeatedly after it is defined.
The defined contents of the macro are not cleared by ESC @.

Programming Reference
ꢁ When m = 1, the printer waits for the period specified by t, blinks the LED, and then
waits for the paper feed button to be pressed. After this button is pressed, the printer
executes the macro once. The printer repeats this operation r times.
ꢁ When m = 2, the printer prints the first page, stops and waits for taking one page.
The printer prints the next page when user takes one page.
[Notes]
ꢀ If a macro is not defined or if r is 0, this command is ignored.
ꢀ Macro is not defined when the power is turned on.
ꢀ This command cannot be contained in the macro. Do not use this command when the
macro is defined.
ꢀ The flash macro is defined by RS t.
