c15
command has one argument, m for mode, which defaults to 0.
Default Value: m = 0
Values for n,m
Values for n,m

D0,m This field acquires data from a host. The value for ,m is the data
length: 6 (Condensed), 14 (Standard), or 16 (Extended).
D2,m This field is a slave field and acquires its data from the
,m
field.
D3,m The printer specifies the data during program mode (fixed). The
,m value dictates the JIS-ITF type. If the length of the data is not
exactly 6, 14, or 16, it will round up to the next highest value
(JIS-ITF type) and pad with zeros.
