Data length
The computer and printer must send and receive the same number of
data bits (information elements) per charact
er. The IBM character and
graphics set requires 8 bits.
Parity Parity is an error detection technique for the RS-232-
C serial interface
used for data transfer. It checks whether the numbers of binary one's
in a byte are even (or odd). It may also be deactivated.
Stop bit The DA608 printer sends two stop bits at the end of every character.
Service
Rev.
(=Revision)
The version number of the firmware is displayed together with the
prom. number of the paper transpo
rt controller. Both numbers must be
specified if problems occur with the printer.
Adrc Display of printed addresses from the initial operation of the printer.
This counter can be reset only by service personnel.
J
For the following service steps, several sheets of DIN A4
paper must be inserted over the whole print area!
Head
A test print is carried out in which the results of testing the contacts to
the nozzles are displayed in a continuous oblique line.
This is done firstly in a grid pattern, and then all the nozzles are
addressed individually in sequence.
Char Printout of the currently defined character set.
HexD
Hex Dump causes all received characters to be printed from the
receive buffer in LetGot12.
Hex Dump is terminated with the PROG, END or START keys.
+
Hex Dump may also be initiated directly by keeping the START
key pressed down when switching the printer on. Do not
terminate Hex Dump by switching off the printer as this may lead
to changes in the settings !!
InpD In Inp-
Dump, all 96 kbytes of the receive buffer are printed with PC8
symbols.
J
The entire print-out requires about 30 DINA4 sheets. Switch the
printer off and then on again, send the print job and then start the
dump print-out. The required data is now located at the beginning
of the buffer. As soon as it has been printed out, you may stop
further printing.
