Definition of function macros for automatic operation repetition. Internal programmable counter. Graphic print mode. Print density. ESC/POS Emulation :6 programmable logos 64 x 215 each dots CUSTOM TPT Emulation :3 programmable logos: 64 x 431 each dots Near paper end sensors. PRINTER DESCRIPTION The printer (fig.1) is comprised of a metal frame (7), paper roll holder (9), printing mechanism (8) and rewinder (1). The following keys are located on the control panel: FORM FEED (5), LINE FEED (6), Power LED (4), Near paper end LED (3) and Status LED (2). (Fig.1) When the LINE FEED (6) key is pressed, the printer advances the paper so that it may be inserted manually in the printing mechanism. During power-up, if the LINE FEED key is held down, the printer will perform the FONT TEST routine. If the FORM FEED (5) key is enabled, when it is pressed the printer advances the paper the number of increments programmed in the Eeprom. If the FORM FEED key is not enabled and the printer is in Custom Emulation mode, when the key is pressed, the code 12 (HEX C) is transmitted on the RS232 serial line. This function may be modified by the ESC = software command (see section on software commands). During power-up, if both keys are held down, the printer enters the print setup routine. Following the printout of the setup report, the printer remains in standby until a key is pressed or signals arrive from the serial port; each 1 characters it prints out hexadecimal and ASCII codes (if the characters are underlined, the receive buffer is full); see Receive buffer hexidecimal print-out. 3 PRT 8

10 INTRODUCTION The Power LED (green) indicates that the printer is on. The Near paper end LED (red) indicates that the paper is about to run out. The Status LED (yellow) indicates printer status; the check is made on-line. Given in the table below are the various LED signals and the corresponding printer status.

13 1. INSTALLATION AND USE Speed/Quality: Normal D, Draft or High Quality. Paper Autoload: Deactivated D or Activated. Reset buffer: Not implemented, At paper end D. Print density: Normal D, Light, Very light, Dark, Very dark, Double copy. General notes: - The parameters marked with the symbol D are the default values. - The! symbol indicates TPL 8 model. - The # symbol indicates TPL 82.5 model. - Settings remain active even after the printer has been turned off. The settings made are stored in EEPROM (nonvolative memory). During power-up, if both the LINE FEED and FORM FEED keys are held down, the printer enters configuration mode and prints-out the setup report; it will remain in standby until a key is pressed or characters are received through the communication port (see Hexadecimal dump). When the LINE FEED key is pressed, the printer skips the setup mode and terminates the Hexadecimal dump function. When the FORM FEED key is pressed, the printer enters the parameter entry mode. 1.4 HEXADECIMAL DUMP This function is used to diagnose the characters received through the communication port; the characters are printed out both as hexadecimal codes and ASCII codes. ce the self-test routine has finished, the printer enters Hexadecimal Dump mode. The printer remains in standby until a key is pressed or characters are received through the communication port. For every 1 characters received, the hexadecimal and corresponding ASCII codes are printed out (if the characters are underlined, the receive buffer is full). Shown below is an example of a Hexadecimal Dump: D 61 Hexadecima 6C D E l dump fun F 6E ction abcd A 6B 6C 6D 6E efghijklmn 6F opqrstuvwx 79 7A yz 1.5 MAINTENANCE Changing the paper roll Depending on how the printer Paper Autoload parameter is set, one of two procedures must be followed: If enabled: Position the paper roll (1), so that it unrolls correctly as shown in fig. 1.4; insert the paper into the infeed slot (2) and wait for the roll to load automatically. If not enabled, proceed as follows: 1) Position the paper roll (1), so that it unrolls correctly as shown in fig. 1.4; 2) Raise the print head by lifting the lever (4) in the direction indicated by the arrow as shown in fig. 1.5; 3) Insert the end of the paper roll into the infeed slot (2) and have it pass beyond the print head; 4) Lower the head lever and press the LINE FEED key, so that the paper will feed a few centimeters out of the printer (3). 1-3 PRT 8

Sets the print position to the beginning of the line. $1B $32, $1B $ PRT 8

22 $B Vertical tab [Format] ASCII VT Hex B Decimale 11 [Description] When this character is received, the paper forward feeds by n lines (default value : 1). This value can be modified by using the command $1B $7A. When the printer is next initialized, the default value is reset. $C Form Feed [Format] ASCII FF Hex C Decimal 12 [Description] If the buffer contains any characters, these are printed and the paper forward feeds until the detection of a reference mark on the paper, signalled by the NICK photocell. Alternatively the paper forward feeds by the number of dotlines preset by the command $1B $5C. $D Carriage return [Format] ASCII CR Hex D Decimal 13 [Description] When autofeed is CR enabled, this command functions in the same way as $A, otherwise it is disregarded. The command sets the print position at the beginning of the line. $A $18 Cancel print data buffer [Format] ASCII CAN Hex 18 Decimal 24 [Description] Deletes all the print data in the current print buffer. The command set the print position to the beginning of the line PRT 8 3-4

23 $1B $21 n Select print modes [Format] ASCII ESC! n Hex 1B 21 n Decimal n [Range] [Description] This command sets the print mode. Each bit of n is read as follows: Bit Function 1 RESERVED 1 RESERVED 2 Selects superscript or subscript (only for 8x16) Superscript Subscript 3 n.u. 4 Double height Cancel Set 5 Double width Cancel Set 6 Quadruple height Cancel Set 7 Quadruple width Cancel Set Height and width commands set the mode for a whole line. n= $1B $23 n1...n8 Receives data in graphic page [Format] ASCII ESC # n1 n8 Hex 1B 23 n1 n8 Decimal n1 n8 [Description] This receives an array of data an arranges it in a graphic page at the given coordinates. The coordinates define the vertices of a window in which the data is stored. x1=(n1 * 256) + n2 y1=(n3 * 256) + n4 x2=(n5 * 256) + n6 y2=(n7 * 256) + n8 The values of coordinates x1 and x2 are aligned with the byte. 3-5 PRT 8

24 $1B $24 n1 n2 Sets bar code printing position. [Format] ASCII ESC $ n1 n2 Hex 1B 24 n1 n2 Decimal n1 n2 [Description] The bar code is printed at position (n1*256) + n2. If the value exceeds 448, it is rejected. $1B $25 n1 n2 Prints grahic page. [Format] ASCII ESC % n1 n2 Hex 1B 25 n1 n2 Decimal n1 n2 [Description] Prints graphic page starting from the beginning for a number of lines eqaul to (n1*256) + n2; if the vaule is higher than the lines availables 292, it print the entire page. $1B $2A m nl nh d1...dk Select bit image mode [Format] ASCII ESC * m nl nh d1...dk Hex 1B 2A m nl nh d1...dk Decimal m nl nh d1...dk [Range] m =, 1, 32, 33 nl 255 nh 3 d 255 [Description] Selects a bit image mode using m for the number of dots specified by nl and nh, as follows: m Mode V ertical direction Horizontal direction (*1) N. dots DPI D PI N. of Data (k) 8 dot single density nl + nh x dot double density nl + nh x dot single density (nl + nh x 256) x dot double density (nl + nh x 256) x 3 PRT 8 3-6

25 The nl and nh indicates the number of bytes. If the bit image data input exceeds the number of dots to be printed on a line, the excess data is ignored. d indicates the bit image data. Set a corresponding bit to 1 to print a dot, or to to not print the dot. If the value of m is outside the specified range, nl and data following it are processed as normal data. To print the bit image use $A, $D or $1B $64. After printing a bit image, the printer returns to normal data processing mode. This command is not affected by the emphasized, double-strike, underline (etc.) print modes, except for the upside-down mode. The relationship between the image data and the dots to be printed is as follows: 8-dot bit image 24-dot bit image $1B $2B n1 n2 Semi-graphic printing mode [Format] ASCII ESC + n1 n2 Hex 1B 2B n1 n2 Decimal n1 n2 [Description] The bar code is printed at position (n1*256) + n2. If the value exceeds 448, it is rejected. The number of characters to be received is (n1*256) + n2. In this mode, the bytes received are input in the line buffer at the current position of the cursor and in a different order from that of the previous command. Let s imagine that a print line consists of an array of 24 rows containing 56 bytes each: the characters received after this command will be input starting from the top line and proceeding towards the bottom line. After 24 characters, the pointer increases and proceeds to the next position. At the 56 thh position the line is printed and filling continues on the next line. Thanks to this procedure, text and graphics can be combined. In fact, if, for example, there were any characters present in the print buffer, the bytes subsequent to this command would be input in the position immediately after. Figure 1 shows a line buffer: each box corresponds to 8 dots, which on paper correspond to 1 mm, both horizontally and vertically. To fill the memory completely, 1344 bytes are required. For example, to 3-7 PRT 8

26 print a filled bar 448 dots long and 24 dots high, send the following command: $1B + $2B + $5 + $4 + (1344* $FF) buffer position TPTCM6x TPTCM112x line 1 ESC 4 n Set/reset italic mode [Format] ASCII ESC 4 n Hex 1B 34 n Decimal n [Range] n 1, 48 n 49 [Description] Turns italic mode on or off, based on the following values of n Function, 48 Turns off italic mode 1, 49 Turns on italic mode The printer can print any character in italic mode. When italic mode is turned off by setting the value of n to or 48, the data which follows is printed in normal mode. Italic mode can also be turned on or off using $1B $21. Note, however, that the last received command is the effective one. n = $1B $21 PRT 8 3-8

27 $1B $3D n Enables / Disables Form Feed key [Format] ASCII ESC = n Hex 1B 3D n Decimal n [Description] This command is used to control the Form Feed key. Normally, when this key is pressed, the paper forward feeds until a reference mark is detected or until the steps set by the $1B $5C command have been completed. When the key is released, a character $C is transmitted. In this way a controller can check the output of receipts with progressive number etc. directly. n = Disables transmission - Enables the Form Feed key n > Enables transmission when the Form Feed key is pressed. $1B $3F n Printer setting request [Format] ASCII ESC? n Hex 1B 3F n Decimal n [Range] 32 n 126 [Description] This command transmits two bytes to serial port, when each bit indicates the printer setting. The meaning of these bytes depends on the n parameter: Byte 1 with n = Bit Bit 1 Bit Function Normal 1 Double 1 Quadruple 1 1 Not used 3 Bit 2 Function Normal 1 Double 1 Quadruple 1 1 Not used Description H mode H mode H mode H mode Description V mode V mode V mode V mode Bit 4 Function Description - Not used PRT 8
