BLACK MARK FUNCTION ESC l n [Function] Specify/canceling black mark function [Code] <1B>H<6C>H [Range] n = 0 or 1 [Outline] Specifying / canceling the black mark function. n (Hex) 0 1 Type Canceling black mark function Specifying black mark function [Caution] Black mark function uses PE sensor of CMP-10 for black mark sensor. Therefore, the condition of detecting paper end and detecting open cover is changed in this mode.
Note for Black Mark Function 1. Error detection at black mark mode Paper end is checked during printing but black mark is not checked. After receiving FF command, printer checks black mark and paper end. Once black is detected and white is detected again within 6 mm paper feed, it is determined as black mark. If the white is not detected within 6 mm paper feed, it is determined as paper end.

4. Setup menu function (After Ver2.20) Make sure the printer power is off. Press ON/OFF switch and keep pressed for about 5 seconds until .LED is changed to red and leave the switch. Then buzzer beeps and printer prints current setting and goes to setup menu as follows.
D. CHANGE BAUD RATE ? If you want to change the baud rate of serial communication, choose YES here and if not, choose NO and go to next items. If you choose YES, baud rate choice such as “1200 bps ?” are shown continuously. If the baud rate is right one, choose YES and if not, choose NO. When YES is chosen, printer prints next menu items. The choice of baud rate are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 bps. The default setting is 9600 bps. E.
The list of choice in the setup menu Top question items Additional questions (Bold items is default value.
YES = ON/OFF SWITCH NO = LF SWITCH Hold ON/OFF till LED changes to red. Current settings are printed.
5. PROGRAMMING CONSIDERATIONS 5.1 Notes at Lowered Battery Voltage When battery is low, highly loaded printing such as printing of graphics with much black area may cause power off during printing. When executing high loaded printing, charging the battery before lowing of battery voltage is recommended while keeping checking the information on the battery by the use of relevant command. 5.
6. SERIAL INTERFACE 6.
6.3 Explanation of Input/Output Signals (1) RXD This is signal, receiving data from the host. On occurrence of framing error, overrun error, or parity error, the data is printed as “?”. (2) TXD This signal is for data flow control by X-ON/X-OFF. If data remains in the printer’s input buffer is 2048 bytes or less, the printer transfers a DC3 (13H: Data Receive Not Ready) signal to the host.
