Introduction
This document describes all Evolis Printer commands.
The Evolis Card Printers have an internal programming language.
The command syntax is defined as follow:

(Start Character) Command (Stop Character)

The commands can get parameters and can be finished by a character string or data.
Each element of the command must be separated by a separator character:

(Start Character) Command (separator) parameter 1 (separator) parameter 2 (separator) ...parameter n (Stop Character)

Start Character: ESC
Separator: ;
Stop Character: CR

Note: the Start Character is not compulsory after the CR character.

32 5 bits/pixel => 411 480 bytes/Panel.

128 7 bits/pixel => 576 072 bytes/Panel.
data Bitmap data
Dbc;<panel>;<res>;<size>;<data>
To download data that corresponds to a part of a ribbon panel color in a compressed format
This command has to be used with the 5 Half-Panel color ribbon. In order to
optimize the downloading time, the data can be compressed.

Compression of the YMC Panels
The (MSB) bit of each byte is reserved for the interpretation of a counter or not.
  • If the bit is set to 1, the other 7 bits will indicate the weight of the bit to be applied. The following byte indicates a value of repetitive counter. If the value of this counter is equal to zero, we consider the line as blank. If the value of the counter is different to 0, we repeat the byte the number of time of the counter. In the case of the modes with 6 bits or 5 bits, the bits 6 and 5 of the first bytes are used to increase the counter value.

  • If this bit is equal to 0, the other 7 bits will indicate the weight of the bit to be applied. This is an isolated dot in the line.
Bit_8 at zero

Writing 1 point Y, M or C.

0Value on 5,6 or 7 bits

Bit_8 at one

Writing counter point Y,M or C.

In 7 bits (128 levels) counter max=255
1Value to be repeated x counter timescounter

In 6 bits (64 levels) counter max=256+255
1If 1 => ctp+256Value to be repeated x counter timescounter

In 5 bits (32 levels) counter max=256+256+255
1If 1 => ctp+256If 1 => ctp+256Value to be repeated x counter timescounter

Writing of a white line for Y,M or C
0Counter = 00x00

Compression of K and O

The compression is done line per line.
If the first byte describing a line is equal to 0, it means that the line is white.
If the first byte describing a line is equal to 255, it means that the line is black.
If the line is not white and not black, the first byte indicates the number of byte(s) useful of the line.
This counter is followed by the useful bytes. The counter corresponds to the index of the last byte of the line.

Byte equal to 0. White line
0x00

Byte equal to 255. Black line
0xFF

Byte with value between 1 & 81. Indicates the number of useful bytes of the line
1 to 81 (N)Byte1Byte2...ByteN
