1.4 Sensor - Automatic Form/Paper loading and advance
The MP 2000 with serial interface has the ability to accept single forms.
By inserting a single form sheet (with a maximum of four copies) in the printer, the
paper will automatically go to "Top Of Form". After the printing is finished, the paper/
form will automatically be ejected. To use this feature, the following software com-
mand settings have to be made.
MP 2000 TOF SETTING
-TOF driver with new board
-Possibility to read the TOF state by the host
-Automatic loading form/paper
-Form ejection over the feeding shaft
-Possibility to feed quickly forward/backward on "n" lines
OPERATIONS MADE ON DEFAULT
On default the printer ignores the PE detector. This allows the host to have the prin-
ter "ON-LINE" with or without paper. This condition is necessary to automatically load
form/paper.
The PE detector can be switched on when required.
COMMAND FOR AUTOMATIC FORM AND PAPER LOADING
ESC #l+b+d+n ("l" is an "L" in lowercase)
b = 0/1; Activates the beep signal when waiting for loading of paper.
d = Indicates the delay in increments of 5 msec. The PE detector is activated prior to
motor
starting for the form feed function.
n = When TOF sensor is activated, the form goes up by multiples of 1/216 inches to
TOF.
The printer waits for the paper to be loaded at the back of the unit, then the inter-
lining motor will move until the TOF sensor is activated. From this position the paper
goes back n/216 inches, this new position is the Top Of Form.
The range of the parameter "n" is between 0 and 255 (approximately 0..30 mm).
This command must be sent before every automatic loading.
FORM EJECT COMMAND
ESC #e
The printer starts to eject the form until the PE detector is inactivated adding a "safety
time". Before ejecting, the printer will print out the line buffer contents and disactiva-
tes the PE detector.
