rev. b 8 advanced printing systems 5.5 timing for parallel communication the communication protocol is centronics compatible, and has the ability to handle the ?compatibility mode? (write from the host to the printer), and also the ?byte mode?, for the host to read internal data from the printer. the byte mode is used to receive printer status back from the printer. 5.5.1 compatibility mode timing (host writes to the printer) p arameter m in t yp m ax c omments time stb (tstb) 5 s - - this time is given by the host time busy (tbusy) 25 s 90 s 250 s this hold time is controlled by gs b control code time tvaldata 25 s - - time in while the data must be stable. this time is fixed by the host. time ack (tack) - 3s - important note : the data (d0-d7) must be stable for tvaldata. if not, please contact aps for additional cabling. d0-d7 (host output) stb ( host out p ut ) busy (printer output) ack (printer output) data valid tstb tack tbusy tvaldata cp290mrs cp324mrs cp424mrs technical reference - rev. b 9 advanced printing systems 5.5.2 byte mode timing (host reads data from printer) in this mode, the data transfer controlled is given by the host, but tcycle must not exceed 0.5 seconds 5.6 serial / parallel mode selection serial or parallel mode may be chosen via software automatically after the first character is received. at power- up, both serial and parallel communications are active. if the first character is received on the serial port, the communication will be serial, and vice versa for parallel. this first character will be interpreted like any other incoming byte into the printer. d0-d7 (printer output) \autofeed ( host out p ut ) strobe (host output) ack (printer output) data valid tc y cle cp290mrs cp324mrs cp424mrs technical reference - rev. b 10 advanced printing systems 6. p rinter d evice o perations 6.1 self test mode this mode is done by the combination of the 2 external switches (see section 3.3). it prints the printer type, the revision of the printer firmware and the both internal character sets. 6.2 paper loading this can be achieved by two different methods: paper loading can be achieved by two different methods: ? automatic paper loading : with the green head-up lever in the down position, insert the paper inside the printer, and then the roller will automatically feed the paper for about 2 seconds. if the printer has a cutter, the cutter will cut the paper after the loading. the printer is then ready to print. this function can be achieved only if power supply is more than 5 volts. in mark detection mode, the paper is fed forward to the tof position. ? manual paper loading : put the green head-up lever in the up position. manually feed the paper into the printer until it exits between the thermal head and the roller. turn the green lever to the head-down position. now the printer is ready to print. 12x20 internal character se t printer type firmware revision 8x16 internal character se t cp290mrs cp324mrs cp424mrs technical reference - rev. b 11 advanced printing systems 6.3 text printing format the controller board is having two resident sets of 224 characters : ? 8x16 character set : character size is 9 pixels (8 ?active dots? plus one inter-character) x 20 pixels (16 ?active? dots plus 4 interlines including underline), or 1.125mm x 2.5mm. with double and quadruple height and width, maximum character size can go up to 4.5mm width x 10mm height. horizontal character spacing and line spacing may be adjusted via the software. character per line is up 64 in standard text, 32 in double width, and 16 in quadruple width. ? 12x20 character set : character size is 13 pixels (12 ?active dots? plus one inter-character) x 24 pixels (20 ?active? dots plus 4 interlines including underline), or 1.625 mm x 3 mm. with double and quadruple height and width, maximum character size can go up to 6.5mm width x 12mm height. horizontal character spacing and line spacing may be adjusted via the software. character per line is up 44 in standard text, 22 in double width, and 11 in quadruple width. 12 characters are selectable from the international character set: refer to esc ?r? command for more information both fonts include the euro currency symbol (position 128, 80h) . 8x16 internal font 12x20 internal font cp290mrs cp324mrs cp424mrs technical reference - rev. b 12 advanced printing systems 6.4 operating control codes control codes are non-printable characters or sequences of characters that control the operation of the printer. within the following description, a control code causes the printer to interpret the following byte as part of a command and not as a printable character. 6.4.1 control codes cross reference setup and hardware control c ommand d escription gs / n set printing speed / maximum peak current gs d n set print intensity esc v send printer status esc i send printer identity esc @ resets printer gs b n serial communication setting gs b n set parallel port busy line hold time text and general commands c ommand d escription esc % n select internal character set esc r n select international character set esc 3 n set line spacing esc sp n set character spacing esc !
