INTRODUCTION
The Monarch® 6015™ printer works with application programs written for
the Palm III™ series of organizers or the Symbol® SPT 1500. With
these Palm Computing® connected organizers, the printer can print
receipts for retail, healthcare, or industrial environments. Palm Computing
is a subsidiary of 3Com® Corporation.
The application writes a data stream of commands (in the printer's control
language) to the printer. It writes these commands either directly or through
the Symbol Application Programming Interface (API). For information about
the API, refer to Symbol's Web site (www.symbol.com).
Refer to the 3Com/Palm Computing Web site (www.palm.com) for more
information about the Palm III series of organizers. Also, refer to the
Stevens Creek Web site (www.stevenscreek.com) for various organizer
applications.
The purpose of this manual is to describe the printer's control language.
The commands can be either of the following:
♦control characters (in hex format) that control the printer directly
(physically manipulating the print buffer's contents, for example).
♦character sequences that adjust the printer's performance or help you
design the receipts to print.
Creating Data Streams
Creating a data stream involves coding a sequence of commands in the
printer's control language. Then, you embed the data stream in the
application, which writes it to the printer.
To create a data stream:
1. Draw a rough sketch of how you want the receipt to look. For example,
a graphic may appear at the top, followed by the name of your
organization, followed by a list of items purchased. Your receipt could
be organized any number of ways.
2. Code the commands to implement your receipt design. See "Creating
Formats" for more information.

3. Add any commands to the data stream related to how the printer
performs. For example, at the data stream's beginning, enter the
command to choose the operating mode. See "Configuring the Printer"
for more information.
4. Embed the data stream in the application and test what you have
written.
Conventions Used in this Manual
Following are the conventions used in the syntax descriptions of each
command.
Symbol Description
-Separates items in the command sequence.
< > Indicates a variable with a single-byte value.
' ' Indicates the value is a literal. Enter the value as it appears or
use the ASCII hex values for the same characters.
( ) Indicates a variable of any length.
# # Indicates a variable of an exact length.
ESC Indicates the beginning of a command sequence. Enter 1B hex
for this item.
CR-LF Indicates the end of a response from the printer. In the
response, it is represented as 0D 0A hex.
These conventions make it easier for you to read the commands' syntax
descriptions. They are not part of the data streams. For example,
ESC-'F'-'1' may be the syntax description, but the application writes 1BF1 (1B
46 31 hex) to the printer.
The printer ignores commands
with syntax errors.

CREATING FORMATS
A format is the design of a receipt that the application prints with the
printer. It consists of fields placed at various places on the format. Fields
can contain text, graphics, and bar codes.
This chapter describes the commands used to create formats.
Creating Text Fields
Text fields can contain letters, numbers, and symbols. To specify text
appearing on the format you create, write the text directly to the printer.
There is no special command to use. There are, however,
commands/control characters to select a character set to use and to format
the text.
Selecting Character Sets
The printer can use the ANSI or ASCII character sets. These character sets
are preloaded in the printer. ANSI characters are the default.
Command Description
ESC-'F'-'1' Selects ANSI characters.
ESC-'F'-'2' Selects ASCII characters.

4
Formatting Text
For the text on your format, you can choose the font and its size, spacing,
and style (normal or bold).
Command Description
1C hex (Extend) Prints characters twice as high as normal.
1D hex (Extendoff) Stops printing characters twice as high as
normal.
ESC-'U'-<mode> Turns bold printing on or off.
<mode> 0Turn off bold printing.
1Turn on bold printing.
ESC-'k'-<font> Selects a font.
<font> 0Large Rotated (90 degrees clockwise) -
24 columns per line
1Large Normal - 24 columns per line
2Standard Bold - 32 columns per line
3Standard Normal - 38 columns per line
4Reduced Bold - 42 columns per line
5Reduced Normal - 48 columns per line
ESC-'A'-<space> Sets the space to leave between lines of text
when they are printed.
<space>
0-10
The amount of space (in increments of
.125 mm). The default is 3(.375 mm).
Example:
ESC-A-2
(1B 41 02 hex)
Sets the space between lines of text to .25
mm.
5
Creating Graphic Fields
You print data stream graphics one line at a time. To create a line, you
specify bits to turn off or on. Bits turned off represent white space, and bits
turned on represent part of the graphic. There is a .125 mm gap between
consecutive lines.
Command Description
ESC-'V'-01 hex-00 hex-
#data#
Prints a graphic line.
#data# 48 hex bytes, indicating the dots to turn on or
off. For example, if a specified byte is FF, all
the dots are on. If it is 01, only one dot is on,
and the other 7 are off.
If you accidentally specify less than 48 bytes,
the printer does not print the graphic. If you
specify more than 48 bytes, a fatal exception
occurs.
You do not directly specify the bits turned on or off.
You specify the bits in groups of eight by using hex
values.
Example
This line of code prints a solid horizontal line of dots.
ESC-V-1-0-FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
6
Creating Bar Code Fields
The printer can print the following bar codes, with or without human-
readable data.
♦Code 39
♦Codabar
♦Interleaved 2 of 5
♦Code 128 (UCC/EAN-128)
♦UPC/EAN/JAN
Command Description
ESC-'z'-<bctype>-
<length>-<height>-
<data>
Prints a bar code without human-readable
data.
ESC-'Z'-<bctype>-
<length>-<height>-
<data>
Prints a bar code with human-readable data.
<bctype> The type of bar code to print (values are the
ASCII representation, not hex).
'1' Code 39
'2' Code 128 (UCC/EAN-128)
'3' Interleaved 2 of 5
'4' UPC/EAN/JAN
'5' Codabar
<length> The length of the bar code data (in hex). This
value is dependent on the bar code you
choose with <bctype> (see below).
<height> The height of the bar code (in hex) in
increments of .125 mm. <height> can be no
smaller than 14. For example, 14 = 2.5 mm,
15 = 2.625 mm, etc.
For UPC/EAN/JAN bar codes, the height you
specify will include a 1.25 mm drop bar
pattern after the bar code.
<data> The data for the bar code. Its length must
equal <length>. See the following table for
data restrictions, which vary by bar code.
7
Specifying Particular Bar Codes
Values for the <length> and <data> parameters depend on the type of bar
code you choose with <bctype>.
Bar Code <length> <data>
Code 39 9 (maximum) 0-9, A-Z, -, (space), $,
/, +, and %
Interleaved 2 of 5 16 (maximum) Pairs of numeric
characters (0-9)
UPC/EAN/JAN UPCA: 12
UPCE: 7
EAN/JAN-8: 8
EAN/JAN-13: 13
These lengths are fixed
and all include a check
digit.
0-9
Codabar 15 (maximum) plus start
and stop characters.
The printer adds the
stop character
automatically.
Data: 0-9, $, -, :, /, .,
and +.
Start: a (the default),
b, c, or d.
Code 128 (UCC/EAN-128) Details
<length> can be a maximum of 13 (with alphanumeric/control code data) or
26 (if subset C and numeric pairs are used).
Each subset enables the bar code to contain different characters. Subset
A uses 20-3F hex and 40-7F hex (read by the bar code reader as 00-7F
hex), subset B uses 20-7F hex, and subset C uses 30-39 hex.
The first character of <data> must specify the subset to be used: A, B, or
C (listed as 87, 88, and 89 hex, respectively). The rest of the data can be
all 256 ASCII characters by using a combination of the subsets. The data
must appear as numeric pairs corresponding to the hex values for the
ASCII character in question.
