Page 2: General Outline
General Outline The EP-60H is a compact-sized, line thermal printer developed for variety of applications. It can be used as a data communication terminal, POS terminal, kitchen terminal, etc. It can be used in variety of applications because: it is compact and light; the thermal printing mechanism combines both high speed and low noise printing;... -
Page 3: Auto Cutter Jam
Auto Cutter Jam If the auto cutter is jammed, use the Line Feed button to try to release the cutter. When you press the button the printer will try to re-initialize the cutter and retard it in home position. However if the cutter jam cannot be resolved this way, release it manually until the printer is able to retard it in home position. -

Note: If the code table is selected using the DIP switches, ESC t command is disabled and the code table cannot be changed by a command. In the Chinese version of the printer only Sw8 is defined for changing the code table: Code page USA CP437 Chinese GB2312... -
Page 5: Dataflow Control
Dataflow Control The printer supports only software (XON/XOFF) protocol. Data reception is disabled when the buffer is close to its upper limit. Reception is re-enabled when the number of bytes in the buffer is below some limit. The printer sends special control characters – XON (11h) to enable and XOFF (13h) to disable transmission. -

Page 8: Detailed Description
Detailed Description 1. BEL Sounds the beeper [Code] [07h] [Outline] Sounds the beeper. 2. HT Horizontal Tab Command [Code] [09h] [Outline] Shifts the printing position to the next horizontal tab position. • Ignored when the next horizontal tab position has not been set. •... - Page 9 [Outline] This command is provided because most of the old OEM/DOS code pages do not have the euro symbol mapped. This command shows the direct position of the euro symbol in the code table. If n is given value less than 20h the Euro symbol will not be shown. [Caution] When the code page is changed the Euro symbol position is cleared! The Euro symbol position must be re-entered any time the code page is changed (see below).
- Page 10 „n“ indicates the start character code and „m“ indicates the end character code. To define only one character set n=m. „a“ is the number of dots in horizontal direction. „D “ is the data to be defined. The number of data for each symbol is s x a. Each symbol defines with three bytes of data in vertical direction followed by the next three bytes that define the next one-dot column, etc.
- Page 11 • An underline is attached to the full character width, which, however, is not attached to the part having been skipped by the horizontal tab. Neither is it attached to 9 - right-turned characters. • The underline width is as having been specified by <ESC - >. (The default setting is 1 dot width) •...
- Page 12 • When bit image data have been input in excess of dot position of one line (432 dots) , the excess data are discarded. • d is bit image data, the bits subject to printing are taken as "1" and those not as "0". [Caution] •...

The parameters stored are: º degrees symbols, font size, underline, double height/width symbols, rotated by 90 emphasize, italic style, downloaded font active, rotated by 180º degrees symbols, black and white inverse symbols, reverse print direction (from right to left), Chinese/Arabic code table selected (only in the Chinese/Arabic printer version), print density, printing speed, left margin, printing width, line height, intercharacter space,...

- Page 18 35. ESC _ Restore factory defaults and save them to nonvolatile RAM [Code] [1Bh] + [5Fh] [Outline] Select font A, no bold, no underline, etc. Restore tab defaults. The parameters are read from the flash memory. Downloaded font and downloaded bit image are cleared. Copy internal fonts A and B to user fonts.
- Page 19 • Specified line does not remain. • The beginning of the line is to be considered as the next printing start position. [Default] • The initial value is not defined. 40. ESC i Cutting the paper [Code] [1Bh] + [69h] [Outline] Performs a paper feed, so the last printed line remains after the auto cutter’s edge and then cuts the paper.
