APPE PPENDIX 1. PAGE MODE Overview The printer has two print modes: standard and page. In standard mode, the printer prints or feeds paper each time it receives a print or paper feed command. In page mode, when the printer receives print commands and/or form feed commands, it simply forwards them to the specified print area of memory. Only when an ESC FF or FF is executed, will all data mapped in the print area until then be printed in a batch.
(2) The maximum printable size of a bitmap image is 512 by 512 dots for standard mode. In page mode, the size can be extended up to 831 bits in the y direction (paper feed direction) if 831 bits are reserved for y of the print area and the value of print direction "n" specified by ESC T is 1 or 3. Mapping of print data in the print area Print data is mapped in the print area as follows: (1) The print area is set by ESC W.
[Vertically mapped dots (= 8´6) ¾ Line feed width for the starting point (= 21)]´(Vertical basic calculation pitch conversion ratio (= 360/180) = 54 54 pitches, or 27 dots, must, therefore, be added to the line feed width.

Example of of the Use of of Page Mode The following explains specific uses of page mode. When in page mode, the commands are typically sent from the host to the printer in the following sequence: (1) An ESC L puts the printer in page mode. (2) An ESC W specifies the print area. (3) An ESC T specifies the print direction. (4) Print data is sent. (5) An FF instructs the printer to print the print data in a batch. After printing, the printer returns to standard mode.
In Figure 1-1, a line feed occurs between "lesson" and "Test 1" because "lesson" and the next space " " do not fit in the horizontal range of the 200 (400)-pitch print area. The line feed width conforms to the value specified by a command such as ESC 3. It is possible to set as many print areas as desired before executing FF. If print areas overlap each other, the print area setup data are ANDed with the previous data. If you want to erase a section of mapped data, use the CAN command.
Before an FF is sent, the following program code can be added to remove part of the data. 170 PRINT#1, chr$(&H1b); "W";chr$(72);chr$(0);chr$(120);chr$(0); 180 PRINT#1, chr$(36) ;chr$(0);chr$(48);chr$(0); 190 PRINT#1, chr$(&H18); 200 PRINT#1, chr$(&Hc); As a result of the additional program code, a print-out is executed as shown in Figure 1-3, where the string "GH1" is removed.
APPE PPENDIX 2. BI-DIRECT RECTIONAL PARALLE LLEL INTERF ERFACE 1. Overview The interface of the printer is a Level-1 compatible device according to IEEE-P1284. It supports the communication modes described in 1.1 below. 1 .1 . Paralle llel Interface Commun mmuni unication Modes The parallel interface of the printer provides three communication modes as outlined below. When the printer is turned on or reset, it defaults to Compatibility mode.
1 .2 Interfacing Phases Interfacing in each communication mode is divided into several phases. In addition, there is a phase for mode initialization, as well as a phase for mode switching. Interface signals may differ in name and function for different modes and different phases.
2. 2 .1 Negotiation Overview Usually, the printer is started in Compatibility mode, which corresponds to the Centronics interface phase. When the host intends to switch to the Nibble or Byte mode, it sends a request and negotiates with the printer. A general flow of negotiations is given below. 1) The host sets the IEEE 1284 Active signal to High. In response, the printer moves into the Negotiation phase. 2) The printer replies whether it can execute the mode requested by the host.
2 .3 Precautions 1) The Negotiation phase is triggered with the rising edge of the IEEE 1284 Active signal sent by the host. 2) In Compatibility mode, the time when the negotiation process begins is, as a general rule, after the host sets nStrobe to High and then the printer outputs an nAck pulse.
2 .4 Data Communi unication from Printer to Host 2.4.1 Nibb Nibbl bble Mode In this mode, data is transferred between the printer and the host through the procedure described below. The steps beginning from 1) are applicable when the Negotiation phase has switched to the Host Busy Data Available phase. If the Negotiation phase has switched to the Host Busy Data Not Available phase, the procedure starts at step 9).
11) If the host selected the Host Busy Data Available phase and set HostBusy (nAutoFd) to Low, the printer repeats the steps from 2) onwards. 12) If the host selected the Reverse Idle phase and new data becomes available to be sent from the printer, the printer sets PtrClk to Low to request the host for an interrupt. (Event 18) 13) The printer sets PtrClk back to High. (Event 19) 14) Upon receiving a request for interrupt from the printer, the host responds by setting HostBusy (nAutoFd) to High.
9) After transferring one byte of data, the printer signals to the host whether it has more data to transfer. When there is no more data to be received by the host from the printer, the host chooses one of three status selections: 1. Performing Termination and returning to the Compatibility mode. 2. Remaining in the Host Busy Data Not Available phase. 3. Setting HostBusy (nAutoFd) to Low and moving to the Reverse Idle phase (Event 7).
2 .6 Termination Termination is the process of returning to Compatibility mode from the Nibble or Byte modes. When performing Termination, the host sets the signals as follows: •IEEE 1284 Active (nSelectln): Low •HostBusy (nAutoFd): High (Event 22) There are two methods of Termination: (1) Termination through a handshake between the host and the printer. (2) Immediate termination.
APPE PPENDIX 3. IDENTIFICATION OF SEND STATUS Because the status sent from the printer has certain fixed bits, it is possible to identify to which command the status belongs. When using ASB (Automatic Status Back), however, the first byte of ASB should be checked, and then the three consecutive bytes except for XOFF should be treated as ASB data.

WARTUNG UND UND DIENST Bitte wenden Sie sich an die folgenden Stellen für weitergehende Informationen.
ANHANG 1. SEITENMODU ODUS Übersicht Dieser Drucker verfügt über zwei Druckmodi: Standardmodus und Seitenmodus. Im Standardmodus führt der Drucker den Druckbefehl bzw. den Befehl zum Papiervorschub sofort aus, wenn er einen entsprechenden Befehl erhält. Erhält der Drucker im Seitenmodus Druckbefehle bzw. Befehle zum Papiervorschub, legt er sie nur im vorgesehenen Druckbereich im Speicher ab.
Befehlswerte im Standardmodus und im Seitenmodus (1) Die mit Befehlen gesetzten Werte sind im Standard- und im Seitenmodus prinzipiell gleich. Allerdings werden Werte, die mit einem der unten aufgeführten Befehlen gesetzt werden, im Standard- und im Seitenmodus unterschiedlich behandelt und gespeichert. ESC SP, ESC 2, ESC 3, FS S (2) Die maximale Größe, in der ein Bitmap-Bild im Standardmodus gedruckt werden kann, beträgt 512 mal 512 Punkte.
Druckdaten um eine Zeile verschoben ist. Die nächste Position ist der Anfang dieser Zeile. Der Zeilenvorschub ist dabei durch Befehle wie ESC 2 oder ESC 3 festgelegt. (4) Standardmäßig beträgt ein Zeilenvorschub 1/6 Zoll, was 30 Punkten entspricht.

Grundlinie Punkt A Geladenes Bitmap-Bild Grundlinie Punkt B Punkt B [Ablagepositionen für geladene Bitmap-Bilder]
Beispiel für den Einsatz des Seitenmodus Der folgende Abschnitt erläutert die besonderen Verwendungsmöglichkeiten des Seitenmodus. Zur Verwendung des Seitenmodus sendet der Host-Computer Befehle normalerweise in dieser Abfolge zum Drucker: (1) ESC L versetzt den Drucker in den Seitenmodus. (2) ESC W legt den Druckbereich fest. (3) ESC T legt die Druckrichtung fest. (4) Die Druckdaten werden gesendet. (5) FF weist den Drucker an, die Druckdaten in einem Durchgang auszugeben.
In Abbildung 1-1 erfolgt ein Zeilenvorschub zwischen "lesson" und "Test1", weil "lesson" und den darauf folgenden Leerschritt " " den Horizontalwert des Druckbereichs von 200 ( 400 Schritten überschreiten. Der Zeilenvorschubwert entspricht dem Wert, der durch einen Befehl wie beispielsweise ESC 3 festgelegt wurde. Es ist möglich, vor der Ausführung von FF soviele Druckbereiche wie gewünscht einzurichten. Wenn sich Druckbereiche überschneiden, werden die Daten dieser Druckbereiche mit AND verknüpft.
Papier Druckbereich Abbildung 1-2 Vor dem Versenden eines Befehls FF besteht die Möglichkeit, den folgenden Programmcode hinzuzufügen, um einen Teil der Daten zu löschen. 170 PRINT#1, chr$(&H1b); "W";chr$(72);chr$(0);chr$(120);chr$(0); 180 PRINT#1, chr$(36) ;chr$(0);chr$(48);chr$(0); 190 PRINT#1, chr$(&H18); 200 PRINT#1, chr$(&Hc); Als Ergebnis des zusätzlichen Programmcodes erfolgt der Druck wie in Abbildung 1-3 gezeigt, in welchem die Zeichenkette "GH1" gelöscht wurde.
ANHANG 2. BIDIREK REKTIONALE PARAL ARALLELSCHNITTSTELLE LLE 1. Übersicht Die Schnittstelle dieses Druckers ist ein Level-1-kompatibles Gerät gemäß IEEE-P1284. Sie unterstützt die unten in Abschnitt 1.1 beschriebenen Übertragungsmodi. 1 .1 Übertragung ungsmodi der Paralle llelschni hnitts ttstelle lle Die Parallelschnittstelle dieses Druckers verfügt über drei Übertragungsmodi, die unten beschrieben werden.
1 .2 Kommuni unikationsphasen Der Kommunikationsvorgang in den einzelnen Übertragungsmodi unterteilt sich in unterschiedliche Phasen. Zusätzlich gibt es eine Phase für die Modusinitialisierung und eine Phase für den Moduswechsel. Die Kommunikationssignale in den verschiedenen Modi und Phasen werden unterschiedlich benannt und haben unterschiedliche Funktionen.
2. 2 .1 Verhandlung Übersicht Normalerweise befindet sich der Drucker nach dem Einschalten im Kompatibilitätsmodus, welcher der Centronics-Kommunikationsphase entspricht. Wenn der Host-Computer in den Nibble- oder Byte-Modus umschalten will, sendet er eine Anfrage und handelt das Umschalten mit dem Drucker aus. Im folgenden wird die übliche Abfolge bei der Verhandlung dargestellt. 1) Der Host-Computer setzt das Active-Signal gemäß IEEE 1284 auf High.
10) Wenn der Drucker keine Übertragungsdaten hat, die für den Host-Computer bestimmt wären, wechselt der Host-Computer in die Phase "Host Busy Data Not Available" oder "Termination" und kehrt dann in den Kompatibilitätsmodus zurück. 11) Wenn der Drucker den vom Host-Computer angeforderten Übertragungsmodus nicht unterstützt, setzt er Xflag (Select) wie folgt: Wenn der Nibble-Modus angefordert wurde: High Wenn der Byte-Modus angefordert wurde: Low 2 .

2 .4 Datenübertragung ung vo vom Drucker zum Host-Computer 2.4.1 Nibb bblle-Modus Ni bb In diesem Modus werden Daten zwischen Drucker und Host-Computer entsprechend der unten beschriebenen Vorgehensweise übertragen. Die Schritte, beginnend mit 1), sind relevant, wenn aus der Verhandlungsphase in die Phase "Host Busy Data Available" gewechselt wurde. Wenn aus der Verhandlungsphase in die Phase "Host Busy Data Not Available" gewechselt wurde, sind die Schritte beginnend mit Schritt 9) relevant.
1. Setzen von HostBusy (nAutoFd) auf Low und Signalisierung, daß der Host-Computer bereit zum Empfang ist. 2. Verbleib in der Phase "Host Busy Data Available" 3. Durchführung der Terminierung und Rückkehr in den Kompatibilitätsmodus 11) Falls der Host-Computer die Phase "Host Busy Data Available" gewählt und HostBusy (nAutoFd) auf Low gesetzt hat, wiederholt der Drucker die Schritte von 2) an.
6) Der Drucker setzt PtrClk (nAck) auf High (Event 10) und beendet das Byte-Handshake (Event 11). 7) Der Host-Computer signalisiert, daß er die Daten erfolgreich empfangen hat. Dies geschieht, indem er HostClk (nStrobe) zunächst auf Low (Event 16) und dann auf High (Event 17) setzt. 8) Die Events 10 und 16 treten möglicherweise zugleich ein, ebenso die Events 7 und 17 (zum Beispiel, wenn HostBusy und HostClk zugleich verwendet werden).
angegebenen Länge empfängt, muß dies unterbrechungsfrei erfolgen, bis die gesamte Geräte-ID empfangen ist. Wird der Vorgang während der Durchführung beendet, verwirft der Drucker den Rest der Zeichenkette; wenn der Drucker ein weiteres Mal die Anforderung der Geräte-ID empfängt, sendet er die Geräte-ID beginnend mit dem ersten Zeichen der ID.
Terminierung sind die Daten nicht gesichert, und der Drucker schaltet den Datenbus innerhalb 1 µsec von Ausgang auf Eingang. In der Phase "Reverse Idle" kann der Drucker dem Host-Computer mitteilen, daß Daten zur Übertragung an den Host-Computer vorliegen. Diese Mitteilung kann gleichzeitig mit der Terminierung erfolgen, um den Host-Computer aus der Idle-Phase in den Kompatibilitätsmodus wechseln zu lassen.
ANHANG 3. ERMITTLUN TTLUNG UNG DE DES SENDESTATUS Da der von diesem Drucker gesendete Status einige unveränderliche Bits enthält, ist es so möglich, zu ermitteln, zu welchem Befehl der Status gehört. Wenn ASB (Automatic Status Back) verwendet wird, sollte allerdings das erste Byte des ASB geprüft werden, und dann sollten die drei nächsten aufeinanderfolgenden Bytes - mit Ausnahme von XOFF als ASB-Daten behandelt werden.
