Transmit timing depends on the setting of DIP switch 1-8 Table 2.1.
Confidential 2.1.1.6 Notes on setting DIP switch 1-8 to on (1) The printer mechanism stops but does not become BUSY in the following cases: • When an error occurs. • When the printer stops printing due to a paper-end. • When paper is fed using the feed button. (2) When handshaking with the printer while using this switch setting, make sure to monitor the printer with the GS a command and the ASB function. With this switch setting, the default value of the GS a command n is 2.

Confidential APPENDIX A: MISCELLANEOUS NOTES 1) Print duty • When printing exceeds the allowable print duty cycle, the printer automatically detects the print head temperature rise, stops logic-seeking, and enters full-column print head movement operation. This stops the temperature rise by lowering print duty. If the print head temperature continues to rise, the printer stops the print head. In this case, the user should be aware that the printing speed may slow significantly.

Confidential 5) Manual operation of the autocutter In a paper jam, the printer may be stopped with the autocutter blade not in its normal position. In such cases, insert the screwdriver into the hole at the right side of the autocutter, as shown in Figure A-3, and turn the gear inside the cutter unit to move the cutter blade to its normal position. 6) Other note Because this printer uses plated steel, the cutting edges may be subject to rust.
Confidential APPENDIX B: INSTALLING THE NEAR-END DETECTOR AND ADJUSTING THE AMOUNT OF ROLL PAPER REMAINING The near-end detector is mounted in place on the printer case by using the mounting screw provided. Because the amount of paper remaining on a roll differs according to the inner and outer diameters of the core of the roll, the spacer provided can be used to adjust the amount remaining within the range indicated below.
Confidential APPENDIX C: NOTES ON CHARACTER PRINTING Applied for the user-defined characters and the following characters. Font Page Character code 7×9 0 H, H 9×9 1 H, H 9×9 0 H 1) The printer deletes the right-most dots of a character during double-width mode, if another character follows.
Confidential Example: If the following codes are transmitted, some dots are not printed. (Graphic character H + “H” double-height enlarged) PRINT #1, CHR$ (&HB2) ; PRINT #1, CHR$ (&H1B);”!”; CHR$ (&H11); PRINT #1, “H”; CHR$ ($HA) ; When the data is buffered in the print buffer Half dot dots are deleted because of the next character and not printed. Printing result (unidirectional printing) dots are not printed. To avoid this, program the software as follows.
Confidential APPENDIX D: 1) NOTES ON USING THE DRAWER KICK-OUT CONNECTOR Drawer specifications (see Section 2.2.3, Drawer kick-out connector) Drawer specifications differ significantly depending on manufacturer and model number. Make sure that the specifications of the drawer used meet the following conditions when connected to the drawer kick-out connector. These conditions also apply to any equipment (other than a drawer) that is connected to the drawer kick-out connector.
Confidential The drive signal waveform generated when the drawer is driven according to the above conditions is shown in Figure D-1. ON OFF t1 × 2 ms t2 ≥ (t1 × 4) x 2 ms Figure D-1 Drawer Drive Signal Waveform (Formulas D-1 and D-2) The ON time depends on the specifications of the drawer used. Be sure to check the drawer specifications and set a suitable time. To use a drawer that does not meet the conditions of Formulas D-1 and D-2, see the following section.
Confidential An example program in which the drawer connected to drive signal 1 is driven with an ON time of 200 ms is shown below. PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1B);”p” ;CHR$(0);CHR$(100);CHR$(250); GOSUB *WAIT300MS ON time 200 ms OFF time 500 ms *WAIT300MS 300 [ms] wait routine (*1) RETURN *1 Corresponds to α of Formula D-3. Set the value so that it satisfies Formula D-3 (or include an internal processing time that is equal to or longer than this wait routine).
Confidential APPENDIX E: TRANSMISSION STATUS IDENTIFICATION The values of specific bits are fixed in the status information transmitted by the printer, so that the status bytes of commands can be identified. The user can therefore confirm the command to which the status belongs, as shown in the following table. When using Auto Status Back (ASB), however, process the consecutive three-byte code (except for XOFF) as ASB data after confirming the first byte of the ASB.
