  • Page 22: Auto Loading Function

    If you do not want to use this function, set this function disabled by using a memory switch. (Paper insertion is available with the FEED switch.) If “Auto clear after paper setting” is set, the printer enters the data ready and print ready state after completing paper setting. Note that printing starts automatically if print data is present in the receiving buffer.

    After self-printing, normal printing state is restored. (2) Hexadecimal printing function Turn the printer power on with the FEED switch pressed and held for approx. 6 seconds and then release the FEED switch. The printer prints “Hexadecimal Dump” and then stops.

  • Page 24: Memory Switch Setting

    Memory switch can be changed by a command. For details, refer to “8. Print Control Function”. When the printer receives the command, it outputs a BUSY signal and enters memory setting mode. After writing into memory switch, software resetting is carried out and the receive buffer/print buffer are cleared causing each set value to return to the initial value and then the contents of the memory switch(es) are reloaded.
  • Page 25 After memory switch setting, return the DIP switch No. 4 to OFF. NOTE Before turning the printer power on again, return the DIP switch No. 4 to OFF. If the printer is operated normally with that switch set to ON, the printer prints the message.

    After removing the error state, press the FEED switch to restore. If the error state cannot be cleared, turn the printer power off and verify the error status. (4) Memory error (RAM error) This error is issued when error occurs in the memory built in the printer at the time of printer power on.

    (PAPER lamp goes off), the printer starts self-printing. (2) In case of memory switch setting When the printer is ready for selecting items in the state of transferring to memory switch setting mode, pressing and holding this switch for approx. 3 seconds or more and then releasing it results in transfer to the last item selection state (state of re-setting or selecting memory switch writing).

  • Page 36: Error Detection

    This printer detects the following communication errors in the data communication of serial interface. When any error occurs, the printer converts (or may ignore in some case) the data at the occurrence of the error to the characters set by the memory switch and then prints the characters.

    8.2 Control Code Details (1) Command for Line Feed After Printing (CR/LF) By entering CR (0DH)/LF (0AH) codes, data in the print buffer is printed followed by a line feed. Without data in the print buffer, only a line feed is performed. This command is ignored just after buffer full in case of 920 emulation.

  • Page 47 In iDP3110 emulation As the 40-column model is of half-dot printing system, continuous dots cannot be arranged in the printing direction (lateral direction). Therefore, even if any pattern is specified at point “*” at the right of point “●” above, it cannot be registered as a pattern.

On completion of receiving 4-dot-line data or on completion of receiving n1/n2/ n3 assigned data, this printer starts printing with insufficient data treated as spaces. Note 1: With n1 = 23 having been assigned in 40-column model, 4 dots from the lowermost column (LSC-DOT) are made invalid.
