12. APPENDIX 1. PAGE MODE 12.1. 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, all the data mapped in the print area will then be printed in a batch.
12.2 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. When the printer has finished all of the print and paper feed actions specified before receiving an ESC W, the ESC W sets the left end (As viewed facing the printer) as the start point (x0, y0) of the print area.

12.2.1 Example of the Use 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. (6) After printing, the printer returns to STANDARD MODE.
In Figure 1-1, a line feed occurs between “lesson” and “Test 1” because the space “ “ next to “lesson” dose 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 ORed 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. LPRINT CHR$(&H1B) + “W” + CHR$((72) + CHR$(0) + CHR$(120) + CHR$(0); LPRINT CHR$(36) + CHR$(0) + CHR$(48) + CHR$(0); LPRINT CHR$(&H18); LPRINT CHR$(&HC); END As a result of the additional program code, a printout is executed as shown in Figure 1-3, where the string “GHI” is removed.
13. APPENDIX 2. BIDIRECTIONAL PARALLEL INTERFACE 13.1 Overview The interface of the printer is a Level-1 compatible device according to IEEE-P1284. It supports the communication modes described in 13.1.1 below. 13.1.1 Parallel Interface Communication 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.
13.1.2 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.
13.2 Negotiation 13.2.1 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.
13.2.3 Precautions 1) The Negotiation phase is triggered when the IEEE 1284 Active signal sent by the host becomes High. 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.
13.2.4 Data Communication from Printer to Host 13.2.4.1 Nibble 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).
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.
10) When more data is to be received from the printer, the host chooses one of three status selections: 1. Setting HostBusy (nAutoFd) to Low and indicating that the host is ready to receive. 2. Remaining in the Host Busy Data Available phase. 3. Performing Termination and returning to the Compatibility mode. 13.2.5 Device ID The device ID is a character string that provides the ID, the type, and other information regarding the printer connected to the interface.
(1) Termination through a handshake between the host and the printer: When switching from Reverse mode to Compatibility mode, this termination method can be used if the interface is activated (IEEE 1284 Active: High) and event 22 has taken place. 1) The printer responds to IEEE 1284 Active by setting PtrBusy (Busy) and nDataAvail (nFault) to High. (Event 23) 2) The printer then inverts Xflag (Select) and sets PtrClk (nAck) to Low. (Event 24) 3) The host sets HostBusy (nAutoFd) to Low.
14. APPENDIX 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.
