The handling of character data differs according to printer model when Chinese characters are selected for the character type. Specification A This always handles character data according to double-byte Chinese character code system. Specification B Characters are handled in the following manner according to the memory switch settings and the first byte data that is sent. Be aware that when using Japanese characters the system can switch between the Shift JIS mode and the JIS/Shift JIS Chinese characters mixed mode, depending on the memory switch setting. (Refer to each product specification manual.) In these specifications, the settings for single-byte characters are reflected as they are for character pitch, but for double-byte characters, a double character pitch setting is applied. Also, international and zero style settings are invalidated for single-byte characters in these specifications.

STAR Page Mode Command Specifications
3-15
The handling of character data differs according to printer model when Chinese characters are
selected for the character type.
Specification A
This always handles character data according to double-byte Chinese character code system.
Specification B
Characters are handled in the following manner according to the memory switch settings and the
first byte data that is sent.
Be aware that when using Japanese characters the system can switch between the Shift JIS
mode and the JIS/Shift JIS Chinese characters mixed mode, depending on the memory switch
setting.
(Refer to each product specification manual.)
In these specifications, the settings for single-byte characters are reflected as they are for
character pitch, but for double-byte characters, a double character pitch setting is applied.
Also, international and zero style settings are invalidated for single-byte characters in these
specifications.

Enabled for printer models equipped with Chinese characters functions other than
Japanese characters.
If the first byte of data is 0x20-0x7f, it is processed as 1 byte of ASCII code and expands the
single-byte character data.
If the code for the first byte of data is 0x80 or higher (0xA1 or higher for Chinese characters
used in Korea) and the code corresponds to the Chinese characters for the printer, the
printer processes the first and second bytes of data together to print the Chinese character
data.
