Page 11
In the position indicated below, a label is provided to alert your attention. Read the cautionary information on it, and handle the printer properly. Print head This label alerts you to the print head as it becames HOT, and if you touch it, you may get burnt.
Avoid cleaning the print head immediately after printing is finished. The print head is HOT. • Use a dry soft cloth to wipe off stains and dust from the surfaces of the printer covers. • When wiping clean heavily stained areas, use a cloth which should be dipped in water and then wrung strongly.
Page 13
DAILY MAINTENANCE Cleaning the print head 1 Turn off the power of the printer. 2 Remove the platen roller unit. Refer to “4.6 Removing paper Jams”. 3 Using a gauze impregnated with a small amount of alcohol, wipe off stains and dust on the heat-emitting surface of the head.

Handshaking: Signal level: 6.1.2 Reverse Mode (Printer Data transfer from the printer to the host computer is conducted in Nibble or Byte Mode. (For details, See “APPENDIX 2. BIDIRECTIONAL PARALLEL INTERFACE”.) Outline The reverse mode has been devised to handle data transfer from an asynchronous printer controlled by a host computer.
An 8-bit data request signal, which is output at the end of a Busy signal. (Active “Low”) • Busy: A signal to indicate a busy state of the printer. Input new data when this signal is “Low”. (Active “High”) • nFault: This signal becomes “Low”...
All the input signals, Data 0-7, are each pulled up with 50 k resistor, and the other input signals are each pulled up with a 3.3 k resistor. [Printer Side] All the output signals, Data 0-7, are each pulled up with a 50 k resistor, and the other output signals are each pulled up with a 3.3 k resistor.
Busy nAck 6.2.4 Data Reception Control When the Busy signal is at “LOW”, the printer can receive data from the host computer, but when at “HIGH”, data reception is not possible. 6.2.5 Buffering Since the printer can buffer 64K bytes of data, the host computer is immediately made free.

12.1. Overview The printer has two print modes: STANDARD and PAGE. In STANDARD MODE, the printer prints or feeds paper each time it receives a print or paper feed command. In PAGE MODE, when the printer receives print commands and/or form feed commands, it simply forwards them to the specified print area of memory.
Print data is mapped in the print area as follows: (1) The print area is set by ESC W. When the printer has finished all of the print and paper feed actions specified before receiving an ESC W, the ESC W sets the left end (As viewed facing the printer) as the start point (x0, y0) of the print area.

12.2.1 Example of the Use of PAGE MODE The following explains specific uses of PAGE MODE. When in PAGE MODE, the commands are typically sent from the host to the printer in the following sequence: (1) An ESC L puts the printer in PAGE MODE.
Page 175
In Figure 1-1, a line feed occurs between “lesson” and “Test 1” because the space “ “ next to “lesson” dose not fit in the horizontal range of the 200 area. The line feed width conforms to the value specified by a command such as ESC 3.

When the printer is turned on or reset, it defaults to Compatibility mode. • Compatibility Mode Data is transmitted from the host to the printer in units of one byte. Usually, this mode is used for data transmission. You may switch to the other modes from Compatibility mode.
13.1.2 Interfacing Phases Interfacing in each communication mode is divided into several phases. In addition, there is a phase for mode initialization, as well as a phase for mode switching. Interface signals may differ in name and function for different modes and different phases.
Xflag: Nibble Mode: Low, Byte Mode: High 8) The printer sets PtrClk (nAck) to High to indicate that it is ready to read status lines. (Event 6) 9) If the printer has communication data to send to the host, the host moves into the Host Busy Available phase or Termination phase, and then returns to the Compatibility mode.
3) Negotiations can be entered from the Busy or Error state of the Compatibility mode. In this case, the printer will not return to the Busy or Error state before the negotiations, but still remains in the printer state just after Termination.
2. And whether data can be transferred from the host to the printer. 9) If there is no more data to be sent from the printer after the transfer of one byte (Two nibbles), the host chooses one of three status selections: 1.
12) If the host selected the Reverse Idle phase and new data becomes available to be sent from the printer, the printer sets PtrClk to Low to request the host for an interrupt. (Event 18) 13) The printer sets PtrClk back to High. (Event 19) 14) Upon receiving a request for interrupt from the printer, the host responds by setting HostBusy (nAutoFd) to High.
10) When more data is to be received from the printer, the host chooses one of three status selections: 1. Setting HostBusy (nAutoFd) to Low and indicating that the host is ready to receive. 2. Remaining in the Host Busy Data Available phase.
Page 184
1 µsec. In the Reverse Idle phase, the printer can notify the host that it has data to transfer to the host. The notification may occur simultaneously with termination in order for the host to move from the Idle phase to the Compatibility mode.
14. APPENDIX 3. IDENTIFICATION OF SEND STATUS Because the status sent from the printer has certain fixed bits, it is possible to identify to which command the status belongs. When using ASB (Automatic Status Back), however, the first byte of ASB should be checked, and then the three consecutive bytes except for XOFF should be treated as ASB data.
