CBM-910 User’s Manual 4.5 Self-Printing Function (1) Test printing With power supplied as LF switch being press down, all characters available for use are printed out. SEL lamp is held off during this stage, where BUSY signal is output. On completion of test printing, normal operation is recovered. (2) Dip switch information printing With power supplied as LF/SEL switch is pressed, the dip switch/communication method (including set details for serial) are printed.
CBM-910 User’s Manual 4.6 Paper End. Mechanical Alarm (1) Paper end Printing paper shortage is detected and informed with SEL lamp blinking at 0.5 second intervals, where printing is suspended. At this time, power supply to the motor and printing solenoid is stopped with BUSY signals output in the host computer. To recover from Paper End state, set new paper and press SEL switch twice. LF functions normally.
CBM-910 User’s Manual 4.7 General Remarks (1) Do not print without ink ribbon properly provided. It may cause damage on the print head. (2) Change ink ribbon before it becomes worn-out. Do not supplement ink. (3) Be careful not to drop, inside the main body, a clip, a setting pin, or any foreign matter. It will lead to machine failure. (4) To operate the printer, hold it on a flat stable table.

CBM-910 User’s Manual (10) Character registration (ESC + “&”) command 1. For 24-column model (ESC + “&” + A1 + A2) Individual patterns can be registered by entering the code ESC + & + A1 + A2, then entering the pattern data. A maximum of 8 characters can be registered, and any address in the range of 20H to FFH can be used for the registration. However, if a new pattern is registered in an address already in use, existing data is cleared and the newly entered data becomes valid.
CBM-910 User’s Manual [Pattern Data Configuration](For 24-Column Model) Pattern data to be registered must consist of 6 bytes per character. That is, pattern data configured by a 6 × 8 dot matrix is broken up into 6 vertically positioned units each of which is represented by 1 byte of data. All together, 6 bytes of data are transmitted. When transmitting the following data.
CBM-910 User’s Manual [Pattern Data Configuration](For 40-Column Model) Pattern data to be registered must consist of 9 bytes per character. That is, pattern data configured by 9×8 dot matrix is broken up into 9 vertically each of which is represented by 1 byte of data. All together, 9 bytes of data are transmitted. When transmitting the following pattern data : Pattern data (9 bytes) As the model utilizes the half-dot printing method.
CBM-910 User’s Manual NOTE) With 0 being set in “C1” parameter even if data have been registered in the uppermost position, letter image registered is made incomplete. (11) Registered Letter Valid / Invalid (ESC + “%” + n) Command Whether a registered pattern is valid or invalid is set with ESC (1BH) + “%” (26H) + n code being input. n = 1 (01H) : Registered pattern to be made valid. (Addresses for which no registration change has been conducted are taken as inside fixed characters.
CBM-910 User’s Manual (12) Bit Image Printing (ESC + “K” + n1 + n2 + n3) Command With ESC (1BH) + K (4BH) + n1 + n2 + n3 code being input, conversation from Text mode into Bit Image mode takes place. The n1/n2/n3 assigns amount of transmission of bit image data which follows these. Where, n1 represents the no. of bytes in lateral direction and n2 (lowermost)/n31 (uppermost) represent the no. of dot lines vertical direction.
CBM-910 User’s Manual (13) ×4 Enlarged Letter Assignment (FS + “W” + 1) Command With FS (1CH) + “W” (57H) + 1 (01H) code input, ×4 enlarged letters are assigned. Data following this code are printed vertically and laterally twice enlarged. (14) ×4 Enlargement Cancel (FS + “W” + 0) With FS (1CH) + “W” (57H) + 0(00H) code being input, ×4 enlargement assignment is cancelled.
