PRINTER FUNCTIONS Writing modes The DP24-42B printer has two writing modes, selected by the control characters: NORMAL and REVERSE. The base matrix of the characters is 6 x 10 dots. Characters can be printed in various formats. Graphics Sizes of the graphics dot and of the number of dots per line vary in accordance with the number of columns and are shown in Table 1. - Page 11 PRINTER FUNCTIONS Control characters All the commands for management of the DP24-42B printer functions are listed in the table below (Table 2). Commands may be transmitted to the printer at any time, but they will be carried out only when the characters previously transmitted have been printed or previous commands have been carried out.
- Page 12 PRINTER FUNCTIONS List of Commands ASCII: - / Hex: $00 Small character writing The command $00 is used for setting the print to small characters. If for example double height or double width characters have been set and the user wants to return to small characters, key the code. This command clears the print buffer so it must not be sent immediately after an ASCII string otherwise the string will be cancelled.
- Page 13 PRINTER FUNCTIONS ASCII: - / Hex: $04 Restore normal mode The command $04 is equivalent to command $00. ASCII: - / Hex: $0A Execute a line feed The command $0A carries out a printer line feed. If there are any characters in the line buffer this command executes printing of the buffer itself.
- Page 14 PRINTER FUNCTIONS ASCII: - / Hex: $12 Print time and date This command gives printout of the time and date in the following format: hh : mm dd - mm - yy. Should expanded or double width print be selected (i.e. less than 15 characters per line) only the time will be printed.
- Page 15 PRINTER FUNCTIONS ASCII: ESC N / Hex: $1B $4E Set printing in NORMAL mode The command “ESC” N selects normal mode printing. In this mode the receipt comes out of the printer written upside down and from right to left. On switching on the default value is selected with switch 9 located at the back of the printer.
- Page 16 PRINTER FUNCTIONS ASCII: ESC U / Hex: $1B $55 Insert date (mm-dd-yy) in buffer The command “ESC” U is used for inserting the printer’s built-in real time clock date into the line buffer in American format mm-dd-yy. This command can be used for inserting the date into a sentence without zeroing the line buffer.
