1. SCOPE This specification applies to the external equipment interface for use with the B-SX4T-GS10/20- QQ/QP/CN/QQ-US and B-SX4T-GS10-QQ-CCS (hereinafter referred to as “B-SX4T”) and B-SX5T- TS12/22-QQ/QP/CN/QQ-US (hereinafter referred to as “B-SX5T”) industrial high-performance class general-purpose bar code printers. 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The external equipment interface connects a printer to the host computer through a serial interface (RS- 232C/USB), parallel interface (Centronics), or a network for making various settings and printing labels.

Page 252: Rfid Tag Position Adjustment Command
6.5 EXPLANATION OF THE RFID RELATED COMMANDS 6.5.1 RFID TAG POSITION ADJUSTMENT COMMAND [ESC] @003 Function Sets the feed amount to adjust the RFID tag position before writing data onto it. If the RFID tag is not positioned just above the RFID antenna when the paper is at the print start position, the printer automatically feeds the paper forward or backward by the specified amount to write data onto the RFID tag prior to printing.
Page 253 When print data for several labels is transmitted to the printer, how the printer performs printing and data write is explained for each of the offset printing parameter options using the above illustration, as follows. [0:Offset printing is not performed. (Normal operation)] (When two labels are issued.) (1) The printer feeds the labels in the reverse direction for the amount specified by @003 command.

Page 258: Rfid Void Pattern Print Command
6.5.3 RFID VOID PATTERN PRINT COMMAND [ESC] @006 Function Prints the void pattern to indicate an RFID tag error. Format [ESC] @006 [LF] [NUL] Explanation (1) The void patter is printed according to the currently set label size. (2) After the void pattern is printed, the print data image is still retained. (3) This void pattern is printed when data cannot be written onto the RIFD tag properly due to breakage of RFID chip or some other reasons.

Page 265: Control Code Selection
7. CONTROL CODE SELECTION (1) Automatic Selection This printer automatically selects [ESC] (1BH). [LF] (0AH). [NUL] (00H) or {(7BH). | (7CH).} (7DH) as an interface command control code. After the power is turned on, the program checks the data from the host for [ESC] and { and assumes the data whichever has been sent first to be a control code.
Page 266: Error Processing
8. ERROR PROCESSING If the printer detects any of the following errors, it will display the error message (LCD, LED), makes status response (serial interface, parallel interface), and stops its operation. 8.1 COMMUNICATION ERRORS (1) Command Errors An error results if a command length error, command transmission sequence error, command format error, or parameter designation error is found in analyzing the command.
Page 267 (2) Cutter Error • Rotary cutter When the cutter does not move from the cutter home position 40 msec or more after the cutter solenoid is driven, an error will result. The cutter moves from the home position, however, it does not return to the home position after 150 msec.
Page 268 Head Open Error If the head open sensor detects the open state in 5 mm continuously, an error will result. If the head open sensor detects the open state when an issue, a feed, or an ejection is attempted in a printer stop state, an error will result. If the head-up sensor detects the head-up state in 5 mm continuously, an error will result.
