7193 Owner’s Guide Solving Problems Solving Problems The 7193 printer is a simple, generally trouble-free printer, but from time to time minor problems may occur. For example, the power supply may be interrupted or the printhead may overheat for some reason. Lights on the operator panel will signal that something may not be operating properly: one green light and one red light may either flash or glow continuously as described in the following table and on the following pages.
Solving Problems 7193 Owner’s Guide Correcting Problems Operator-Correctable Conditions The following conditions can be corrected generally without calling for service. However, if problems persist, contact your service representative. See “Contacting a Service Representative” on the next page. Paper Out Replace the paper roll. Do not operate the printer or host system if the printer runs out of paper. The printer will not operate without paper, but it may continue to accept data from the host system.
7193 Owner’s Guide Solving Problems The printhead may overheat when printing in a room where the temperature is above the recommended operating temperature or when printing graphics continuously. In either case, the printer will shut off. See “Appendix A: Specifications” for information on the recommended temperature range for operating the printer and on the restrictions of continuous graphics printing.

7193 Owner’s Guide Diagnostics Level 2 Diagnostics Level 2 diagnostics run during normal printer operation. When the following conditions occur, the printer automatically turns off the appropriate motors and disables printing to prevent damage: • Paper out, cover off, or knife unable to home • Printhead too hot or voltages out of range The lights on the operator panel will signal when these conditions occur as well as indicate what state or mode the printer is in.
7193 Owner’s Guide Communication Communication Communication Overview In order for a receipt to be printed, a program must be in place that translates the data from the host system into a language that the printer can understand. This program must tell the printer exactly how to print each character. This chapter describes how to create such a program or modify an existing one. Interfaces In order for the printer to communicate with the host, a communication link must be set up.
Communication 7193 Owner’s Guide Using DOS to Send Commands One way of getting commands to the printer is to send them directly from DOS. For example, the command COPY CON: COM1: sets the computer up such that the Hex code corresponding to any key that was pressed would be sent to the communication port COM1 when the COPY mode is exited. If the printer is connected to COM1, then the data will go to the printer. Exit the COPY mode by typing CTRL Z and then pressing the ENTER key.
7193 Owner’s Guide Communication XON/XOFF Protocol The XON/XOFF characters coordinate the information transfer between the printer and the host system. The printer sends an XON character when it is ready to receive data and it sends an XOFF character when it cannot accept any more data. The software on the host system must monitor the communication link as shown in the following flowchart in order to send data at the appropriate times.
Communication 7193 Owner’s Guide RS-232C Technical Specifications This section describes the pin settings for the connectors and the RS-232C interface parameters. Connectors The following illustration shows the RS-232C communication connector and pin assignments. The connector is a 9-pin male D-shell connector and is located in the hollow cavity under the printer.
7193 Owner’s Guide Communication Cash Drawer Connectors The following illustration shows the pinouts for the cash drawer connector. Pin 1 Pin 6 The following table shows the pinouts for cash drawers 1 and 2. The cash drawer connectors are located at the rear of the printer.
Communication 7193 Owner’s Guide Switch Settings The DIP switches are located on the printed circuit board and are accessed from the bottom of the printer. You do not need to remove any covers to change the DIP switches. The DIP switches are used to set the RS-232C parameters and the Data Error and Data Buffer options as shown. These parameters must match those of the host system in order for the host system and the printer to communicate.

It remains in effect until the printer is reset or until a Clear Printer (10) or Rotated Print (1B 12) command is received. It is valid only at the beginning of a line. It cannot be used with non-rotated print on the same line. See “Summary of Rotated Printing” on the next page.
Commands 7193 Owner’s Guide Summary of Rotated Printing The table shows the combinations of Set/Cancel Upside-Down Print, Set/Cancel Rotated Print (clockwise), and Rotated Print (counterclockwise). Rotated CCW is mutually exclusive with the other two commands. The samples of the print show only the normal size characters. Double-wide and double-high characters are printed in the same orientation. They may also be mixed on the same line.
7193 Owner’s Guide Commands Graphics Commands These commands are used to enter and print graphics data and are described in order of their Hex codes: Set Absolute Starting Position Sets the print starting position for graphics at the specified number of dots from the beginning of the line as expressed in the following formula: n = ((n1 + (256 x n2)) x 2). The resulting dot column must be less than 448. The print starting position is reset to column one after each line.
Commands 80 7193 Owner’s Guide Value of m Mode No. of Dots (Vertical) No.
7193 Owner’s Guide Commands Single-Density Graphics Enters one line of 8-dot single-density graphics into the print buffer. Any print command is required to print the line, after which the printer returns to normal processing mode. When the print buffer is full, incoming data will be accepted but not printed. Single-density mode allows 0-224 dot columns. The number of bytes sent is represented by the formulas in the second table. Each bit corresponds to two horizontal dots.
Commands 7193 Owner’s Guide Define Downloaded Bit Image Enters a downloaded bit image (such as a logo) into RAM with the number of dots specified by n1 and n2. It is available until power is turned off, another bit image is defined, or either Initialize Printer (1B 40), or Define User-Defined Character Set (1B 26), command is received. A downloaded bit image and user-defined characters cannot be defined at the same time. Any user-defined characters will be cleared from RAM when this command is used.
7193 Owner’s Guide Commands Print Downloaded Bit Image Prints the downloaded bit image in RAM at a density specified by m. It is ignored if any data is available in the print buffer, if the downloaded bit image is undefined, or if the data defined exceeds one line. A downloaded bit image and user-defined characters cannot be used at the same time. See the illustration for a representation of the bit image.
Commands 7193 Owner’s Guide Printer Status Commands For RS-232C printers, these commands enable the printer to communicate with the host system following the selected handshaking protocol, either DTR/DSR or XON/XOFF. They are stored in the printer's data buffer as they are received, and are handled by the firmware in the order in which they were received. When a fault occurs, the printer will go busy at the RS-232C interface and not respond to either of the Printer Status commands.
7193 Owner’s Guide Commands Request Alternate Status This command is available only on Parallel printers. It allows the printer to inform the host when the data in the buffer has been processed, compensating for the lack of bi-directional communication. Status information is limited to what can be sent by the dedicated lines: BUSY, ACK, PAPER EXHAUST, and FAULT.
Commands 7193 Owner’s Guide Transmit Printer Status Sends status data to the host system. This command is available only on RS-232C printers. Hex Decimal ASCII 1B 76 27 118 ESC v The printer sends one byte to the host system when it is not busy or in a fault condition. See “Busy Line and Fault Conditions” in the following section, “Real Time Commands,” for details about fault condition reporting. See the table below. In DTR/DSR protocol, the printer waits for DSR = SPACE.
7193 Owner’s Guide Commands Real Time Commands The Real Time commands correct difficulties with the original version of the 7193 RS-232C communication interface: • Real Time Status Transmission: GS (Hex 1D) Sequence and DLE (Hex 10) Sequence • Real Time Request to Printer: GS (Hex 1D) Sequence and DLE (Hex 10) Sequence • Real Time Printer Status Transmission The original Printer Status commands, Transmit Printer Status (Hex 1B 76, ASCII ESC v) and Transmit Cash Drawer Status (Hex 1B 75 0, ASCII ESC
Commands 7193 Owner’s Guide Alternate Implementation The alternate implementation uses the DLE (Hex 10) sequences as implemented on Epson’s TM-T85™ and TM-U950™. An application using these DLE (Hex 10) sequences and the original 7193 Clear Printer command must distinguish for the printer between the new Real Time commands and the old Clear Printer command by adding a NUL (Hex 00) to the Clear Printer command.
7193 Owner’s Guide Commands Moving Data Through the Buffer Applications should not let the buffer fill up with Real Time commands when the printer is busy at the RS-232C interface. A busy condition at the RS-232C interface can be determined by bit 3 of the response to GS ENQ or GS EOT 1 or DLE EOT 1. The reason for a particular busy condition can be determined by other responses to GS EOT n or DLE EOT n.
Commands 7193 Owner’s Guide Busy Line and Fault Conditions An additional improvement is made in the way the 7193 RS-232C handles the busy line (or busy condition when using XON/XOFF) during a fault condition. Before this improvement, the printer would go busy at the RS-232C interface when the receipt door was opened or the paper was exhausted as soon as it received the next input byte.
7193 Owner’s Guide Commands If you have programmed the printer to handle the busy line the old way, but wish to re-program it to the new way, do the following steps: 1. Record the current switch settings for their RS-232C parameters. 2. Set switches 2, 3, and 6 to OFF, and set switches 1, 4, and 5 to ON. 3. Power cycle the printer. 4. Wait until the printer beeps to store the parameter change in NVRAM. 5. Restore the switches to their RS-232C parameters. 6. Power cycle the printer. 7.

Note: An application using the DLE sequence must send ENQ within 100 milliseconds of DLE or the printer will misinterpret the DLE and execute a Clear Printer command. Avoid this possibility by using the GS ETX n sequence which is handled exactly the same as DLE ENQ n.
Commands 7193 Owner’s Guide Real Time Printer Status Transmission Transmits one byte status of the printer in real time.
7193 Owner’s Guide Commands Recognizing Data from the Printer An application sending various Real Time and non-Real Time commands to which the printer responds can determine which command a response belongs to by the following table. Responses to ESC u and ESC v are non-Real Time responses and will arrive in the order in which they were solicited.
Commands 7193 Owner’s Guide Bar Code Commands These commands format and print bar codes and are described in order of their Hex codes. Select Printing Position of HRI Characters Prints HRI characters (Human Readable Interface) above or below the bar code.
7193 Owner’s Guide Commands Print Bar Code Selects the bar code type and prints a bar code for the ASCII characters entered. When data is present in the print buffer, the command is ignored. The required paper feeding is performed, regardless of the current line spacing. If the width exceeds one line, the excess data is not printed. Illegal data cancels the command. Hex Decimal 1D 6B 29 107 n c1 c2...00 n c1 c2...00 00 = End of command. ASCII Value of n Value of c GS k n c1 c2...
