    1. INSTALLATION AND USE Note: 0If the Interface parameter is set in infrared and flow control is required, any time a transmission is effected a time break of one time and a half the byte transmission is needed (for example 1.5 msec at 9600 bps). The reason is for Half Duplex type of infrared line communication. As a result the Busy condition check must be waited when transmitting data to the printer.

    2. INTERFACES SIGNAL GND (Fig.2.5) 9-pin connector (s’print cable) 2.2 INFRARED BIDIRECTIONAL SERIAL (only DPT100-B model) The printer has a serial interface for bidirectional data exchange. The infrared port is centered on the power part of the front (see fig. 2.4); it uses the encode method bits as described in the IrDA physical layer, for speeds up to 115.2 kbps (a 3/16th optical pulse time of bit time).

  • Page 24: Standard Mode

    2. INTERFACES To utilize the infrared bidirectional serial interface, it must first be enabled under setup (parameter: “Interface: Infrared”). It is possible to communicate with the printer in two different ways: by sending a string of characters and/or commands preceded by the IR port Open command and followed by a Close command (standard mode), or by utilizing a simple transfer protocol that guarantees that data is compressed correctly by the printer.

  • Page 25: Infrared Communication Protocol

    2. INTERFACES 2.2.2 InfraRed communication protocol To utilize the IR communication protocol, the “IR Protocol” must first be set to “Enabled” under setup. The transfer protocol is structured as follows: [1byte] = $02 Start Transmission ID LUNG [1byte] = number of bytes in the transmitted data field. The maximum number of bytes to be transmitted must be <=48.

  • Page 26: Printing Instructions

    2. INTERFACES An ACK response is returned in the event the entire protocol was interpreted correctly and the check sum calculated is the same as that received by the host. A NACK response is returned in the event of transmission errors that cause a discrepancy between the calculated and received check sums.

    2. INTERFACES performance of the link are part of this function. These parameters control how many BOFs are used, identify the speed of the link, how fast either party may change from receiving to transmitting, etc. IrLAP has the responsbility of negotiating these parameters to the highest common set so that both sides can communicate as fast and as reliably as possible.

  • Page 31: Basic Link Operation

    2. INTERFACES 2.3.1.5.4 Basic link operation 3-Wire raw connections must be exclusive - that is, all other non-IAS connections must terminate before the raw connection is made, and all others must wait until the raw connection is broken before they can connect. This is because 3-Wire raw uses IrLAP flow control, which flow controls off the entire physical link - multiple connections under this scenario could result in deadlock.

    2. INTERFACES 2.4.1.1 Serial Port Profile The Serial Port Profile provides RS232 serial cable emulation for Bluetooth wireless technology devices. In this way, legacy applications do not have to be modified to use Bluetooth technology; they can simply treat Bluetooth wireless link as a serial cable link. The Serial Port Profile uses RFCOMM to provide serial port emulation.

    3. PRINTER FUNCTIONS 3.1 CONTROL CHARACTERS The command table lists all the commands for the management of the printer functions. These commands can be transmitted to the printer with the serial interface. The commands can be transmitted to the printer at any moment, but they will only be carried out when the characters previously transmitted have been printed or the commands previously transmitted have been carried out.
