If the reading is SPACE, a start bit is recognized. 2) Data bits and Parity bit Data bit and Parity bit are checked out every bit form the half point of start bit. Signal level of these points (Mark = 1, Space = 0) are read as input data.
iDP-3535 User’s Manual 5-5 Error Detection The printer detects Parity, Framing and Overrun Error. When any error is detected, the data is printed out as (7FH). Framing Error; Framing error occurs when SPACE signal is checked out at STOP BIT and the printer print out (7FH). Parity Error; Parity check is carried out only when user designates it on the printer pre-setting. Input Control and Buffering; (over-run-error) The printer is designed to output DTR signals for each word.

iDP-3535 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 LF (0A) 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-3535 User’s Manual (5) Form Feed FF(0C) 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(12) All the data in one line prior to CAN are cleared entirely with this code.
iDP-3535 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.
