    ABOUT THIS MANUAL This manual is laid out consistent with the product discussed and provides all of the information required for printer programming. This manual also incorporates the use of special information boxes. Examples of these boxes and the type of information provided in each, are below.

  • Page 13: Print Area Calculation

    A1 COMMAND The A1 command is the prefered method of configuring the printer for media size. If using media smaller than the print head width, use this command to specify the media size and adjust the start position corresponding to that.

  • Page 16: Programming Language

    A programming language for a printer is a familiar concept to most programmers. It is a group of commands that are designed to use the internal intelligence of the printer. The commands, which are referred to as SATO Command Codes, contain non-printable ASCII characters (such as <STX>, <ETX>, <ESC>) and printable characters.

  • Page 17: Selecting Protocol Codes

    SELECTING PROTOCOL CODES Protocol codes are the special control characters that prepare the printer to receive instructions. For example, the <ESC> character tells the printer that a command code will follow and the <ENQ> character asks for the printer status.

  • Page 18: Using Basic

    USING BASIC It may be useful to test your printer using a BASIC program on a PC or write your actual production programs in BASIC. Whatever the reason, if working in BASIC, some of the following hints may be helpful.
  • Page 19 Sends an “<ESC>A” command code to Print Port #1 opened by statement 20 above. Sends the data “SATO” to be placed 400 dots horizontally and 100 dots vertically on the label and printed in the“XL” autosmoothed font.

  • Page 20: Print Position Commands

    There are three methods using command codes to properly orient print images on a label. They are as follows: MEDIA SIZE COMMAND The Media Size Command (<ESC>A1) allows specification of the label width and length so the printer may autmatically adjust itself relative to the command entry. However, the label size specified and the actual label size must match.
  • Page 21 If using a 2 inch wide label, the entire image may not appear on the label. By adding the following Base Reference Point command to the second line of the data stream, the base reference point will be changed, causing the image to shift toward the inside of the printer where it can be printed on the narrower label. EXAMPLE: M8400RVe data stream results in a 2 inch wide label: <ESC>A...

    Unit 6: Bi-Directional Communications INTRODUCTION Bi-Directional communications is a two-way communications protocol between the host and the printer enabling the host to monitor and control the printer’s operational status. The Bi-Com 5 protocol only works in the Multi-Job Buffer mode. GENERAL CONFIGURATION Refer to Appendix: Reference Table 40 for printer configuration commands.

  • Page 175: Print Job

    The CAN command is effective upon receipt, even if the printer is offline or in an error condition. The printer will return an ACK if the printer is not in an error condition and a NAK if an error condition exists.

  • Page 176: Obtain History Data (Lw)

    This command enables the printer to send 500-items at a time of CR/LF history data to the host. Avoid any transmission to the printer while history data is being sent to the host. Also avoid the inclusion and use of this command in the print data.
