Double Side Printing Commands

Thermal Paper Printing Modes

The thermal receipt printing mode can be selected either printer diagnostics or command (Printer Setting Change: 1F 11 and Select Thermal Printing Mode: 1F 60).

There are four types of modes for the printing on the two-side thermal paper.

•Single sided mode

•Double sided mode with single side command

•Double sided mode with double side command

•Double side mode with pre-defined data

When in double side mode with single side command and double side mode with double side command the paper length is 120 inches. Therefore when the printer is in single side mode it will print an indefinite length of paper. When the printer is in double side mode with single side mode or double side mode with double side command the receipt length would be 60 inches with printing on the front and back side of the receipt for a total length of 120 inches.

Single sided mode

The Single sided mode is the same as the 7168 printer.

Double sided mode with single side command

In double sided mode with single side command, the printer receives single sided data until a paper cut command is received. The print data is then automatically divided into two parts where the first part is printed on the front side and the second part prints on the back of the receipt when the knife cut command is sent to the printer. Refer for instructions on how to make printing pattern from single side to double side.

Double sided mode with double side command

In double sided mode with Double side command, the application controls the location of the printing. The front or back side of the receipt is selected and the data is sent to the printer. The data is then printed when the knife cut command is sent to the printer.

Double side mode with pre-defined data

The double side mode with pre-defined data setting will allow for the automatic printing of predefined data on the back of the receipt. An example would be terms and conditions. The pre-defined data is preloaded into the printer and when a receipt is printed the predefined data is automatically printed on the back of each receipt.
