SET SYNCHRONIZATION TIME (SYNC)
TO SYNCHRONIZE THE INTERVAL TIME WITH
THE INTERNAL CLOCK . . .
1. Press: <M> and <4>
(Printout: ENTER SYNC).
2. Enter 6-digit SYNC time in hrs:mins:secs.
EXAMPLE: Interval Time is set at 30 minutes and
a SYNC Time will be set at 3:30 a.m. (03:30:00).
Therefore, the printer will generate a time-to-print
signal every 30 minutes, starting at 3:30 a.m.
Enter: <M 4 0 3 3 0 0 0>
IMPORTANT: If synchronization is set at a time
earlier than the current time, the printer will not be
synchronized. The printer will not send a time-to-
print signal until the current time matches the
SYNC time (i.e. 24 hrs.).
3.2.8
PRINT DATE AND TIME ONLY
To print out the current date and time while you
are in the Set Clock Mode:
Press: <M> and <5>.
3.2.9
EXIT THE SET CLOCK MODE
Press: <C> <C>.
REMEMBER: You can also exit the Set Clock
Mode by letting the 2-minute entry period expire
without making an entry.

REMOTE TERMINAL OPERATION
The following information is provided to operate
the printer from a remote terminal:

3.3.1
DATA TRANSMISSION
MODEL 6610: Standard data buffer is 48 charac-
ters. Printer speed is 42 lines per minute. Baud
rate is user-selected. When the data buffer con-
tains 46 characters, DTR (Pin 20 on RS232C port)
and RTS (Pin 4 of RS-232C port) will go LOW, and
only 2 more characters can be received.
MODEL 6612: Standard data buffer is 128 char-
acters. Printer speed is 30 lines per minute. Baud
rate is user-selected. When the data buffer cen-
talnes 126 characters, DTR (Pin 20 on RS-232-C
port) and RTS (Pin 4 on RS-232-C port) will go
low and only two more characters can be
received.
MODEL 6614: Standard data buffer is 128 char-
acters. Printer speed is 24 lines per minute. Baud
rate is user-selected. When the data buffer con-
taines 126 characters, DTR (Pin 20 on RS-232-C
port) and RTS (Pin 4 on RS-232-C port) will go
low and only two more characters can be
received.
3.3.2
PRINT CONDITIONS
MODEL 6610: Printout occurs when the 25th
character is received (TALL, BOLD, and WIDE
characters use 2 character spaces in a printed
line), or ...
MODEL 6612: Printout occurs when the 33rd
character is received (TALL, BOLD & WIDE char-
acters use 2 character spaces in a printed line), or
MODEL 6614: Printout occurs when the 41st
character is received (TALL, BOLD, and WIDE
characters use 2 character spaces in a printed
line), or ...
•
when a Line Feed (LF) is received,
•
when a Carriage Return (CR) is received,
•
when a Vertical Tab command is received,
•
when a Form Feed command is received.
