(2) Paper-Feed switch Function If this switch is pressed, paper is fed one line based on the currently specified line spacing.
5-2 Printable Area n Printable Area The print area must be within the range indicated below.
5 -3 Miscellaneous Notes n Notes on printing and paper feeding (1) Because the TM-T60/T8OP and TM-T8O/T8OP are a line printer, they automatically feed paper after printing the data. When the line spacing is set to a small value, the paper may be fed mare than the set amount to print all the data.
(2) When the printer goes to the standby (data-waiting) state during printing, the printer stops printing and feeding paper temporarily. When the printer restarts, the paper may shift 1 to 3 dots at the start of printing. Graphics printing is particularly affected by this. n Notes on the power supply • Turn the external power supply on after connecting it to the power supply connector. • Be sure you don’t connect the external power supply with the wrong polarity.
n Handling thermal paper (1) Notes on using thermal paper Chemicals and oil that come into contact with the thermal paper may cause paper discoloration, and can also cause the ‘printing to fade. Therefore, pay attention to the following: a) Use water-based paste, starch paste, polyvinyl paste, or MC paste when gluing thermal paper. b) Volatile organic solvents such as alcohol, ester, and ketone can cause discoloration.

NOTES: 1. For interface wiring, be sure to use a twisted-pair cable for each side and connect the return side to the signal GND level. To prevent noise, these cables should be shielded and con nected to the chassis of the host computer. 2. Ail of the interface conditions are based on TTL levels. The rising time and falling time of any signal should be 0.2 µs or less. 3. Never transmit data without checking ACKNLG and BUSY.
3. Parallel interface timing chart Approx. 5 µs Approx. 5 µ S BUSY ACKNLG I STROBE I I Reception of data is controlled by the ACKNLG or BUSY signal. The BUSY signal gose “HIGH” depending on whether the receive buffer is available or not as follows: • During the period from when power is turned on to when the printer initialization completes. • During the self test printing • During data entry • in the OFF-LINE state • in the receive buffer full state. • in a mechanical error state.
APPENDIX D Notes on Using the Drawer kick-out Connector 1) Usage conditions of drawer kick-out connector (Refer to APPENDIX B). Because drawer specifications differ greatly depending on the manufacture and the part No., make sure that the specifications of the drawer to be used meet the following conditions before connecting it to the drawer kickout connector of this printer. These conditions also apply to any devices that use the drawer kick-out connector.
2) Notes on using the specified pulse generation command (ESC p) When the drawer is connected to the drawer kick-out connector and driven using the specified pulse generation command (ESC P), specify the parameters n1 and n2 in this command so that they will meet the following conditions. ON time ON time + OFF time or OFF time (Formula D-1) 0.2 (Formula D-2) ON timeX4 When the drawer is driven in accordance with the conditions above, the signal waveform of the drive signal is as shown in Figure D-l .
The foIlowing shows an example program used when the drawer connected to the drawer drive signal 1 is driven using an ON time of 200 ms. PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1B);“P”;CHR$(0);CHR$ GOSUB*WAlT3OOMS ON time 200ms *WAlT3OOMS (* NOTE) 300[ms] wait routine RETURN OFF time 500ms NOTE: *This part is indicated in Formula D-3. Set this value so that it can satisfy Formula D-3 (or provides an internal processing time at least as long as the wait routine time.
