Chapter 4 XML Reference - XML for Controlling Printer This element allows you to start the batch rotate print mode. Sample program • Prints characters [ABCDE] in the batch rotate print mode. ABCDE Supplementary explanation ❏ This element does not work in the page mode. ❏ Use the element for batch rotate printing (Example: ) by enclosing between this element and . ❏ Do not use the following elements between this element and . • • • • ❏ The data volume that the printer can process in a single batch rotate printing is as described below. • Strings: 80 lines • Graphics: 2400 dots ❏ When you are using an element (Example: ) in the batch rotate print mode, you must take care while using certain elements. Element Precautions • If the longitudinal direction is set to triple angle or higher with the height attribute before this element, then this element and the succeeding elements will become double-angled. • If the longitudinal direction is set to triple angle or higher with the height attribute after this element, then the specification in the longitudinal direction will be ignored and become single-angled. The number of paper feed lines varies depending on the line spacing specified in the linespc attribute. If the line spacing is specified as 30 in the linespc attribute, paper feeding can be performed for eight lines with the maximum value of the unit attribute as 255. • If the total vertical size of print data exceeds 2400 dots, printing may not be performed as intended. For example, if 500-dot data B is sent to a location in the printer buffer where 2000dot data A is accumulated, then data B will be accumulated in the printer buffer after data A has been printed. • The multi-gradation (16 scales) maximum size is up to 600 dots vertically. In the case of multi-gradation (16 scales), a data volume that is four times that of monochrome (2 scales) is required. • If the vertical size of one image element exceeds the data volume that can be processed in one go, printing will not be performed. Monochrome (2 scales) maximum value: 2400 dots Multi-gradation (16 scales) maximum value: 600 dots 122

This ele
m
ent allows
y
ou to start the batch rotate print
m
ode.
Sample program
Prints characters [ABCDE] in the batch rotate print
m
ode.
Supplementary explanation
This ele
m
ent does not work in the page
m
ode.
Use the ele
m
ent for batch rotate printing (Exa
m
ple:
<text>
) b
y
enclosing between this ele
m
ent and
<rotate-end>
.
Do not use the following ele
m
ents between this ele
m
ent and
<rotate-end>
.

The data volu
m
e that the printer can process in a single batch rotate printing is as described below.
• Strings: 80 lines
• Graphics: 2400 dots
When
y
ou are using an ele
m
ent (Exa
m
ple:
<text>
) in the batch rotate print
m
ode,
y
ou
m
ust take care
while using certain ele
m
ents.

Precautions
<text>
If the longitudinal direction is set to triple angle or higher with the
height
attribute before
this ele
m
ent, then this ele
m
ent and the succeeding ele
m
ents will beco
m
e double-angled.
If the longitudinal direction is set to triple angle or higher with the
height
attribute after this
ele
m
ent, then the specification in the longitudinal direction will be ignored and beco
m
e
single-angled.
<feed>
The nu
m
ber of paper feed lines varies depending on the line spacing specified in the
linespc
attribute. If the line spacing is specified as 30 in the
linespc
attribute, paper feeding can be per-
for
m
ed for eight lines with the
m
axi
m
u
m
value of the
unit
attribute as 255.
<i
m
age>
If the total vertical size of print data exceeds 2400 dots, printing
m
a
y
not be perfor
m
ed as
intended. For exa
m
ple, if 500-dot data B is sent to a location in the printer buffer where 2000-
dot data A is accu
m
ulated, then data B will be accu
m
ulated in the printer buffer after data A
has been printed.
The
m
ulti-gradation (16 scales)
m
axi
m
u
m
size is up to 600 dots verticall
y
.
In the case of
m
ulti-gradation (16 scales), a data volu
m
e that is four ti
m
es that of
m
onochro
m
e (2 scales) is required.
If the vertical size of one i
m
age ele
m
ent exceeds the data volu
m
e that can be processed in
one go, printing will not be perfor
m
ed.
