  • Page 6: Diagnostics And Configuration

    TH210 Programmer’s Guide Diagnostics and Configuration The printer performs a number of diagnostics that provide useful information about the operating status of the printer. The following diagnostic tests are available.  Start-up diagnostics Perform during the printer’s start-up cycle.  Runtime diagnostics Perform during normal printer operation.

  • Page 7: Runtime Diagnostics

    TH210 Programmer’s Guide If the printer has not been turned on before, or a new EEPROM has been installed, the default values for the printer functions will be loaded into the EEPROM during start-up diagnostics, and the printer will make a quick four-tone beep (high then low frequency, twice).

  • Page 69: Status

    Status Status command introduction The TH210 has three methods of providing status to the application. These methods are through batch status commands, real time status commands and unsolicited status mode. An application may use one or more of these methods to understand the current status of the printer. A brief description of each of these methods follows.

  • Page 70: Transmit Paper Sensor Status

    Unlike the A793, that had a dedicated connector and resultant dedicated status reporting for each cash drawer, the TH210 has a single connector that shares data reporting from either cash drawer. When either cash drawer is open, an open status is reported by the printer.
