  • Page 19: How To Use This Manual

    How to Use This Manual The following lists describes the contents of each chapter and the appendixes: Chapter 1, “Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS),” on page 1 describes the Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS) programming commands for use when your printer is attached and emulation mode is set to 4247, 4202 III XL, or 2381 Personal Printer.
  • Page 20 Programmer Manual...

  • Page 21: Chapter 1. Personal Printer Data Stream (Ppds)

    Chapter 1. Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS) The 4247 Model X03/Z03 printers implement a subset of PPDS. The environment in which the printer data stream processor operates is described below. Print Job Processing There are no PPDS controls that explicitly define print job boundaries. A print job for the 4247 is established by the host system and consists of any set of related print objects.
  • Page 22 relationships of some of these parameters. Current Print Position (LM ≤ CPP ≤ RM). Current Print Line Maximum Print Position (in characters at current CPI) PMPP Physical Maximum Print Position. The largest number of characters that can be placed on one line of the surface (the largest value that MPP can assume).

  • Page 23: Graphic And Control Character Sequences

    Equal to MPP Horizontal tabs are set at each 8th column, starting with column 9 (9, 17, 25, 33, and so on.) Vertical tabs are all cleared Graphic and Control Character Sequences PPDS uses an ASCII encoding scheme to define controls and printable graphics. Multiple code pages for printable graphics are supported.

  • Page 24: Ppds Compatibility

    PPDS Compatibility PPDS is supported in 4247, 2381 Personal Printer, and 4202 Proprinter III XL emulation modes. When 4247 is selected, PPDS control codes are supported in the same manner as if emulating the 2381 Personal Printer. The Emulation Mode can be selected from the Configuration Menu using the operator panel.

    This control advances the paper one line. The horizontal position does not change unless automatic carriage return mode is activated from the operator panel Configuration Menu. If the paper advance crosses the bottom margin, the printer completes all deferred printing on the current page and then does an automatic form feed.

  • Page 31: Device Control 1 (Esc Dc1 / Select)

    Shift In is a buffer terminating control; if printable data at a different character-per-inch setting is buffered, that data is printed before the setting is changed. The current print position becomes the next printable column at the new character-per-inch setting. CPI can be changed within a print line, and this control changes the maximum number of characters that can be printed on one line.

  • Page 32: Auto Underscore (Esc -)

    Auto Underscore (ESC -) This control turns on and off the continuous underscore function. If NN is 1, the printer underscores all text characters and spaces following this sequence.

    Figure 1. The Physical Medium The physical medium defined above is assumed to coincide with the actual physical medium (form) as that terminology is used in the following discussion. IPDS Coordinate Systems IPDS uses coordinate systems to define any point on a page. All IPDS commands containing location parameters use these coordinate systems to define distance measurements.

  • Page 97: Logical Page Layout

    Figure 2. The X Medium Coordinate System Logical Page Layout IPDS describes the printed output in terms of logical pages. The logical page does not have to be contained completely on the physical medium. However, printing can only occur where the two areas overlap.

    between the X and Y coordinates and the logical and physical medium. Figure 4. The X and Y Coordinate System and the Logical Page I and B Coordinate System In addition to the X,Y coordinate system, IPDS uses another coordinate system, the I-B coordinate system. These coordinates describe the placement and orientation of text or images on the logical page.

The left edge of the character box is at the specified inline position and the bottom edge of the character box is 20 units below the specified baseline position.

  • Page 100: Ipds Command Format

    IPDS Command Format All of the printer commands use the following format: Length Command Flag Correlation ID Data Note: Bit numbering follows the EBCDIC convention with bit zero being the most significant bit. A description of each field follows. Length Length is a two-byte field that specifies the length of this command.

  • Page 101: Acknowledge Requests And Replies

    Data is an optional field and is not present for all commands. This field contains specific subcommands, parameters, and data appropriate for the given command. The length of the data field can range from 0 to 32760 (X'7FF8') if the correlation ID is present. If the correlation ID is not present, the length of the data field can range from 0 to 32762 (X'7FFA').

  • Page 102: Acknowledge Reply (Ack)

    Acknowledge Reply (ACK) The printer uses the Acknowledge Reply to return device status, sense information, and any additionally requested information to the host application program. The application program uses the Acknowledge data to maintain control of the printing application and to initiate error recovery actions when necessary.

  • Page 103: Host Acknowledgment Requests

    DATA is the field that follows the correlation ID field or the flag byte if no correlation ID is present. The length of this field can be 0-250 (X'00'-X'FA') if no correlation ID is present, and 0-248 (X'00'-X'F8') if the correlation ID is present.

  • Page 104: Ipds Data

    The printer sends a Negative Acknowledge Reply (NACK) to the host to indicate that an error has occurred. The printer can send an ACK or a NACK in response to an ARQ. If an error occurs, the printer can send a NACK without receiving an ARQ.

  • Page 107: Overlay State

    Control, or Write Bar Code (block) Control commands in the data stream indicates that the printed page contains individual blocks of image, graphics, or bar code data for positioning on the page. These commands cause a state transition to occur to an appropriate page block state. In the block state, the printer establishes the initial conditions and processes the block of data onto the page.

    WT (Write Text): The WT command sends text data to the printer. Because the printer is currently in a page segment state, this text information does not print at this time. Instead, the data becomes part of the page segment. The host can send multiple WT commands to the printer while in the page segment state. WIC (Write Image Control): The WIC command causes the printer to enter the image block state.

  • Page 349: Appendix E. Interfaces

    Appendix E. Interfaces This section provides technical information for the parallel and serial interfaces. The Parallel Interface The parallel interface of this printer fully supports the Centronics protocol plus the specific features requested by the EPSON and IBM printer connection in monodirectional mode and the Compatibility and Nibbles modes in bidirectional mode, plus the negotiation phases and the device identifier (as IEEE P1284).

  • Page 350: Parallel Interface Signals

    This phase is initiated by the host and returns the interface to the compatibility mode. Parallel Interface Signals Description of the signals in monodirectional link: Signal Name Pin N° Source Description STROBE HOST Clock signal which controls data transmission with its falling edge. PRINTER Negative pulsed signal indicating that the printer has received data and is ready to accept the next set of data.

  • Page 351: Parallel Interface Signals Behaviour

    The pins 1 to 14 of the printer are connected to the pins with the same number of the parallel port of the host. The pins 19 to 30 of the printer are connected to the pins 18 to 25 of the parallel port of the host. The pins 31, 32 and 36 of the printer are connected respectively to the pins 16, 15 and 17 of the parallel port of the host.
  • Page 352 AD1 ... AD8 (Data 1 ... Data 8) Negotiation Phase: Extendibility request value. Reverse Data Transfer Nibble Mode: NOT USED. Phase: Byte Mode: Reverse channel data. PrtClk (nAck) Compatibility Mode: Pulsed low by the printer to acknowledge the transfer of a data from the host. Negotiation Phase: Set low to acknowledge 1284 support, then set high to indicate that the Xflag (Select) and data available flags may be read.
  • Page 353 Xflag (Select) Reverse Data Transfer Nibble Mode: Set low to indicate that host can receive printer-to-host data then set Phase: high to acknowledge receipts of that nibble. Byte Mode: Same as Nibble Mode to request and acknowledge bytes. Following a reverse channel transfer the interface transitions to idle phase when HostBusy (nAutoFd) is set low and printer‘s no data available.
