iDP-3530 User’s Manual 4-4 Attaching / Removing the Paper Cover and Stacker 1) Attaching and removing the paper cover and the stacker as shown in Fig. 9, 10. 2) Capacity of stacker The maximum size of fun-fold paper sheaf which can be stored in this stacker is 3 to 3.5 (W) x 6 (H) x 1.6 (D) inches. Fig. 9 Fig. 10 4-5 Self Test Printing Your printer has a built in self print function for purpose of checking print operation without the need for any other external device.
iDP-3530 User’s Manual 4-6 Alarm and Paper Near-End Detection This printer has the paper near-end sensor to stop the operation when the paper comes to near-end, sending out both BUSY and FAULT signals. This status is indicated by the SEL / ALARM lamp blinking at-an interval of 1.0 second. If the printer goes alarm, the printer stops printing out and outputs FAULT signal – OFF-LINE state. This status makes the SEL / ALARM lamp blink at an interval of 1/4 second.

iDP-3530 User’s Manual 8-3 Input Data Formats The data input to the printer is made by the codes listed in the Character Code Table. (1) Standard Character Print Mode Designation. US (1F) DATA CR (0D) The printer goes automatically to the standard character mode immediately after power-on initialization or line feed. Therefore, US code can be omitted. In addition, an automatic line feed is carried out after inputting the data for one line (Full Buffer Print).
iDP-3530 User’s Manual (5) Form Feed DATA With this code, paper feed goes on. If there is data in the buffer when this code is input, the printer does from feed printing. The top of form for the next page is made in accordance with the page length which was specified with ESC + “C” + “n”. Top of position of the page is determined when power is turned on or when page length is specified with ESC + “C” + “n”. (6) Canceling CAN (18) All the data in one line prior to CAN are cleared entirely with this code.
iDP-3530 User’s Manual 9. Initial Setting Following are automatically set after Power-on. (1) Printer head returns to its start position. (2) SELECT (ON-LINE) or DESELECT (OFF-LINE) status may be chosen by the Dip Switches for Pre-Setting. (3) Print buffer is cleared. (4) Standard character mode is set. (5) 66 lines per page is set. (6) The first line set at the present line. (7) Designation of Red printing is cleared. (8) For 7 bit data, character code SI is applied. 10.
