Top Loading Roll The MTP-2232 and MTP-2242 printers are configured as a drop in loader . Load the roll of paper by placing the spindle inside the roll of paper and place spindle in slots with paper fed off the bottom toward the paper slot (front of unit).
Figure 2 - MTP-2242 with Cutter Mechanism closed Figure 3 - MTP-2242 with Cutter Mechanism open Installation Self Test Mode (also Burn-in and Hex Dump modes) The MTP-2200 series has a self-test mode that will print and cut a sample document. All electrical and mechanical portions of the printer are exercised and checked by this action, except for the serial interface or parallel interface components.
3.1.3 Hex Dump printing mode If the paper feed button is held for 8-12 seconds after power is turned on, the printer will enter the Hex Dump Mode. All codes received will be printed in HEX format rather than causing the normal execution, this may be useful for troubleshooting applications.

4.2.2 Descriptions of Commands 4.2.2.1 Status commands All transmission of status in IEEE-1284 mode is disabled at power on. Status transmission must be enabled by the US S +n command before any STATUS transmission will occur in IEEE-1284 mode. In case of an ERROR as defined in the table below, the printer transmits DLE E and the 2 status bytes. The response to a STATUS REQUEST is to transmit DLE (10hex) followed a SOURCE byte that distinguishes what type of status is being transmitted followed by the two status bytes as defined in the table below.
4.2.2.6 Bit Image (BI) Graphics Mode Commands US * +nH +nL +data 1F 2A +nH +nL +data 256*nH +nL defines how many bytes of bit image data will follow. The data is received sequentially with the first byte representing the first 8 dot positions at the top left side of the bit image with bit 7 being to the left and bit 0 being to the right as printed.
4.2.2.8 Bar Code 128 definitions Code128 Character set: 103 data chars, three different start characters, and a unique stop character. CodeA consists of the ASCII characters 00hex thru 5Fhex, FNC1 thru FNC4, Shift, CodeB, and CodeC. CodeB consists of the ASCII characters 00hex thru 7Fhex, FNC1 thru FNC4, Shift, CodeA, and CodeC. CodeC consists of 2 digit numeral characters 00dec thru 99dec, FNC1, CodeA, and CodeB.
