Page 7: Paper Loading
2.3 Paper loading A. To load a new roll of paper, gently lift the latch on front cover to open the paper cover. The paper cover does not open all the way, it stops almost perpendicular to the main body. Please avoid putting any pressure on paper cover while loading paper, to prevent breakage or causing uneven pressure between Platen, rubber roller, and thermal head, TPH. - Page 8 2.2 Installation Insert the printer assembly inside the opening on instrument’s front panel. Open the paper cover, as shown in Exhibit 2.6 and you will notice two screw heads on either side of the paper cavity. Use a screw driver to turn the screws in clockwise direction. As the screw turns the clip is raised until the printer is secured by capturing the front panel between the clip and printer bezel.

Page 13: Self-Test And Hex Printing
3.3 Self-test and Hex printing Self-test can test whether the printer is working normally or not. If the self-test receipt can be printed out correctly, it means the printer is working normally. The self-test does not test the interface with host. If the self-test does not print the self-test receipt correctly, the printer needs to be repaired. -

Chapter 4 Printing commands 4.1 Summary All the printing commands of PMT2212 are fully compatible with traditional ESC printing commands. The description form of each command is as following, Command name Function Format: ASCII: the standard ASCII character sequence Decimal:... - Page 15 Decimal: Hexadecimal: Explanation: The n dot-line spacing is set for future Line Feed command. n=0~255 Default setting n=3 for text printing, n=0 for bitmap printing when using ESC K command. The BASIC programs for observing the effect of this command are as below: FOR I=1 TO 11 STEP 2 LPRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(49);CHR$(I);...
- Page 16 LPRINT CHR$(11); ‘VT command LPRINT “SPRM2”; ‘print character string LPRINT CHR$(11); ‘VT command LPRINT “SPRM3” ‘print character string The print result of the above program is as following: Carry out Vertical Tab Value Format: ASCII: Decimal: Hexadecimal: Explanation: Feed paper to the next vertical tab position which is set by ESC B command. Notice: if there is no vertical tab value setting, or the current position equals or is beyond the last vertical tab position, VT command is to feed paper one line only (same to LF command).
- Page 17 LPRINT CHR$(13); The print result of the above program is as following: Carry out Horizontal Tab Value Format: ASCII: Decimal: Hexadecimal 09 Explanation: The print position is advanced to the next horizontal tab position which is set by ESC D command.
- Page 18 Explanation: The value of n should be in the range from 0 to the line width of this model printer. Default n=0, that means no left margin. This command sets absolute position, and won’t be influenced by character commands ESC U and ESC W. Example: set left margin value to 12, you can send the following commands: commands: ASCII: ESC...

Page 19: Character Setting Commands
ESC P Set Character Space Format: ASCII: Decimal: Hexadecimal: Explanation: This command is used to set dot spacing between characters, which is also valid for Chinese characters. Default n=0, means no space between characters. (dot is absolute value and won’t be influenced by enlarging or narrow commands), n=0~255 4.2.3 Character Setting Commands ESC U... - Page 20 Remark: n=1～8, the other value of n will be invalid. The BASIC programs for observing the enlarging effect of this command are as below: FOR I=1 TO 3 ’ from 1 to 3 times LPRINT CHR$ (27); CHR$ (86); CHR$ (I); ’ESC V command LPRINT “SPRM”;...
- Page 21 print. All characters including spaces will be printed out with underline after selecting underline print command, unless cancel the underline print command. This command is also valid for Chinese characters. Remark: Only the lowest dot of n is valid. Default n=0. The BASIC programs for observing the effect of this command are as below: LPRINT CHR$ (27);...
- Page 22 ESC i Select/prohibit Reverse Print Format: ASCII: Decimal: Hexadecimal: Explanation: When the lowest dot n=1, select reverse print; when the lowest dot n=0, cancel reverse print. Reverse printing results in white characters on a black background. Normal printing is black characters on a white background. The default is prohibiting reverse white print. Remark: Only the lowest dot of n is valid.
