TM OPERATION GUIDE FRONT PANEL CHAP. 3 OPERA… The positions of the below mentioned switches and LED’s are indicated in Fig. 10. “ON LINE” switch Switches the printer between “ON LINE” and “OFF LINE” status. Whenever the printer switches between “ON LINE” and “OFF LINE”, the buzzer gives one short beep (“ON LINE” and “OFF LINE” switching is possible only when paper is loaded in the printer). “FEED” switch When this switch is pressed and then released within 0.5 sec., the paper feeds one line.
TM When all LEDs light up simultaneously and the buzzer sounds continuously, a CPU error has occurred. In case of a CPU error, turn off the power then turn it on again. When turning off the power, the data will be cleared. CHAP. 3 OPERA… Power LED (Green) On-line LED (Green) On-line switch Feed switch Alarm LED (Red) Power On-off switch Fig.

TM HEXADECIMAL DUMP MODE CHAP. 3 OPERA… “ON LINE” + “POWER ON” (Turn the power on while holding the “ON LINE” switch depressed) Each of the signals sent from the computer to the printer will be printed out in hexadecimal code. This function allows you to check if a control code sent to the printer by the program being used is correct or not. The buzzer will sound once to indicate the printer is in hexadecimal dump mode.
TM Operation Method 1. Open the top cover, pull the adjust lever one notch from standard position toward the operation panel side. When you cannot find standard position, push the lever as far as possible toward the rear, then pull it by 2 notches after having pressed it down. The lever is now in standard position. 2. Mount the top cover. 3. Set the printer for the validation print mode through control codes to the printer. In this instance, the buzzer gives two short beeps. 4.
TM Printing Format CHAP. 3 OPERA… Prints one line in 7 x 9 font normal printing. 32 columns (from the 5th to the 36th column) Even if the setting for paper width is changed by the DIP switch, the 32-column format will not change.

TM CODES (HEX/CONTROL) : 1B 50 / “P” FUNCTION : Select 12 CPI character size APPLICATION LIMIT : This code is valid only when received at the beginning of a line. DETAIL DESCRIPTION : 12 CPI is selected. The maximum number of print columns is set by DIP switch 2-5 (paper width setting) as follows DIP sw 2-5 Paper width setting (inch) Maximum no. of print columns ON 3.25/3.0 33 OFF 2.
TM CODES (HEX/CONTROL) : 1B 55 00 / “U” <0> FUNCTION : Select bi-directional print mode DETAIL DESCRIPTION : Returns to the standard bi-directional print mode (This mode is set automatically when the printer power is turned on). CODES (HEX/CONTROL) : 1B 55 01 / “U” <1> FUNCTION : Select uni-directional print mode DETAIL DESCRIPTION : Prints only when the print head moves from left to right.
TM CODES (HEX/CONTROL) : 1B 57 30 / “W” “0” FUNCTION : Cancel expanded character mode DETAIL DESCRIPTION : Cancel expanded character mode set by code (Data following this code is printed out in normal size characters). CODES (HEX/CONTROL) : 1B 57 31 / “W” “1” FUNCTION : Select expanded character mode DETAIL DESCRIPTION : Data following this code is printed in double-width characters.
TM CODES (HEX/CONTROL) : 1B 61 n / “a” n FUNCTION : Feed paper n lines DEFINITION RANGE : 1 ≤ n ≤ 127 DETAIL DESCRIPTION : After data in the line buffer is printed out, feeds the paper n lines. CODES (HEX/CONTROL) : 1B 68 00 / “h” <0> FUNCTION : Cancel vertical expanded character mode DETAIL DESCRIPTION : Cancel vertical expanded character mode. CODES (HEX/CONTROL) : 1B 68 01 / “h” <1> FUNCTION : Select vertical expanded character mode APPLICATION LIMIT : 1.
TM CODES (HEX/CONTROL) : 1B 68 31 / “h” “1” FUNCTION : Select vertical expanded character mode APPLICATION LIMIT : 1. When combined with the code, this code enables printing of the characters in two times vertical and horizontal size. 2. This code is not combined with the inverted print mode code. 3.
TM CODES (HEX/CONTROL) : 1B 7A 00 / “z” <0> FUNCTION : Set 1/12 inch line feed DETAIL DESCRIPTION : Line feed is set at 1/12 inch after this code is received, and is effective since first received after this command. CODES (HEX/CONTROL) : 1B 7A 01 / “z” <1> FUNCTION : Set 1/6 inch line feed DETAIL DESCRIPTION : Line feed is set at 1/6 inch after this code is received, and is effective since first received after this command.
TM CODES (HEX/CONTROL) : 1D data 0A / data <0A> FUNCTION : Select validation printing APPLICATION LIMIT : 1. Character data and immediate execution command are valid for data. 2. Printing modes (such as emphasized, inverted, expanded character modes, etc.) which were set before validation printing are invalid during validation printing (These modes become valid again after validation printing is completed).
