DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION The DPP-450 has several built-in diagnostic modes. • Holding button while power on for ~ 0.5 sec (first sound signal) – short self-test. • Holding button while power on for ~ 2.5 sec (second sound signal) – start dump mode. All input data are printed hexadecimal and as text. • Holding button while power on for more than 8.5 sec (fifth 4-tone sound signal) – enter firmware updating mode.
DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS Integrating the DPP-450 into your mobile solution requires the use of the DPP-450 PDA & Smartphone SDK. The SDK incorporates API specific to developing printing applications and using the capabilities of the DPP-450 mobile printer. The table below shows the SDKs currently available for PDA & Smartphone devices. OS Language SDK - IDE RIM BlackBerry Java JDE 4.1 and higher BlackBerry Java Android Java Eclipse Windows & Windows Mobile VB.
PROTOCOL MODE Protocol mode is active when hardware switch 11 is on. The purpose of this mode is to give stronger real time access to the printer. All input data are sent in packets as described below. The printer returns an answer to the packet immediately.
The defined channels are: • 1Printer. • 16 (10h) Optional card reader. Commands for the printer channel (1): • Command 2 - Send data The data is copied into the printer’s print buffer. If there’s not enough space into the print buffer the packet is rejected, and a status byte with value 3 is returned in the answer. • Command 3 - Receive data If there is data to be transmitted from the printer to the host, it is transmitted in the data field of the packet, otherwise an empty packet is received.
