2.1.1.6 Notes on setting DIP switch 1-8 to on · 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. This automatically transmits the printer status, depending on on-line/off-line changes. (3) When using the DLE EOT or DLE ENQ command, make sure that the receive buffer does not become full. · Notes on using a host that cannot transmit data when the printer is BUSY: If an error occurs when the receive buffer is full and the printer is BUSY, the DLE EOT and DLE ENQ commands cannot be used. · Notes on using a host that can transmit data when the printer is BUSY: If a DLE EOT or DLE ENQ command is used while sending bit-image data, and the receive buffer-full state is encountered during transmission of the data, the DLE EOT or DLE ENQ is processed as bit-image data. In addition, the data transmitted during the receive buffer-full state may be lost. Example of use: Set the receive buffer to 1K bytes, and check the status with GS r for each line of printing transmitted. Make sure that the data for printing each line does not cause the printer to enter the receive buffer-full state. 2.1.1.7 Notes on resetting the printer using the interface The printer can be reset through the interface (pins 6 or 25) by changing the DIP switch settings accordingly (Refer to Table 3.3.3).

Data transmissions in the Nibble Mode are made via the existing control lines in units of four bits (Nibble). In the Byte Mode, data transmissions are proceeded by making the eight-bits data lines bidirectional. The both modes fail to be proceeded concurrently with the Compatibility Mode, thereby causing half duplex transmission.

In this setting, the default value of n for GS a is 2. The printer automatically transmits the printer status, depending on on-line/off-line changes. 3) When using DLE EOT and DLE ENQ be sure that the receive buffer does not become full. · When using a host that cannot transmit data when the printer is busy: If an error has occurred, DLE EOT and DLE ENQ cannot be used when the printer is busy due to a receive buffer-full state. · When using a host that can transmit data when the printer is busy: When the receive buffer becomes full while transmitting bit-image data, DLE EOT or DLE ENQ used while sending the bit-image data is processed as bit-image data. The data transmitted when the receive buffer is full may be lost. Example: Check the printer status using GS r 1 or GS r 49 after transmitting each line (512 bytes for type A) of data and use the 1K byte (512 bytes for type AM) receive buffer.

2.1.2.9 Reception of status from the printer through the bidirectional parallel interface In the bidirectional parallel interface specifications, the printer status transmission is available by using the both-way communication facility in the Nibble/Byte Modes in accordance with the IEEE 1284. In this case, different from in the RS-232 serial interface specifications, the real-time interruptions from the printer to the host are disabled and thus precautions must be taken to the followings. 1) Allowable capacity of the printer internal buffer is 99 bytes (except ASB status). The status signals exceeding this capacity will be discarded. To prevent possible loss of status, the host shall be ready for data acception (Reverse Mode). 2) When ASB is used, the host is preferably in the wait state for data acception (Reverse Idle Mode). When this state is not available, the host shall enter the Reverse Mode to always monitor the presence of data. 3) When ASB is used, preference shall be given to the ASB status for transmission over the other status signals. Any accumulated ASB status signals left for transmission from the last to the newest ASB status transmission shall be transmitted together at a time as one ASB status showing the presence of change, followed by the latest ASB status. Example: In the normal (wait) state, the ASB status is configured as follows.
First Status Second Status Third Status Fourth Status

NOTES: 1. Two driver transistors cannot be driven simultaneously. 2. The drawer drive duty must be as shown below: On time (ON time + OFF time) £ 0.2
3. Be sure to use the printer power supply (connector pin 4) for the drawer power source. 4. The resistance of the drawer kick-out solenoid must not be less than that specified (24 W). Otherwise, an overcurrent could damage the solenoid.
