TTP 8000 Technical Manual

P1003638-003

This command defines the desired horizontal tab positions. Variables n1...nx represent each
tab position. Up to 16 tab positions are allowed. Minimum allowed value is “1”.

Tab position 255 sets a tab stop on the last position of the line. Use this if you want underline
or reversed text to extend across the full paper width. Note that the tab positions are always
expressed in number of 2.5-mm steps.

Graphics commands

For the TTP 8200, the line length in bytes is 1 x, see parameter

48 on page 84

.

For the TTP 8300, the line length in bytes is 1.5 x, see parameter

48 on page 84

.

In the TTP 8200, that is 210 bytes for the A4 printer and 216 bytes for the Letter size printer.

Prints a black & white Windows bitmap (BMP-file with 1-bit color depth) at the specified X-Y
position. The bit-map must be a complete uncompressed Windows bitmap where the data
starts with BM. Max size is limited to the free RAM printed on the self-test printout.

After the bitmap has been printed, the cursor will return to the X-position that it had before the
bitmap command was issued.

Selecting horizontal mode (with <ESC>o<0>) prints the image in portrait orientation, while
selecting the vertical mode (with <ESC>o<1>) prints the image in landscape orientation.
