Unit 1: Introduction INTRODUCTION • • “i” Programming Reference About This Manual Print Area Calculation 1-1 PN: 9001158B
Unit 1: Introduction ABOUT THIS MANUAL This manual is laid out consistent with the product discussed and provides all of the information required for printer programming. This manual also incorporates the use of special information boxes. Examples of these boxes and the type of information provided in each, are below. WARNING: PROVIDES INFORMATION THAT, IF UNHEEDED, MAY RESULT IN PRESONAL INJURY. CAUTION: PROVIDES INFORMATION THAT, IF UNHEEDED, MAY RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
Unit 1: Introduction PRINT AREA CALCULATION Many print applications may not require labels that fill the entire printable area of the printer. Therefore it is important to understand how to calculate print size so that the printed image does not exceed the label size. There are two axis to consider when calculating for print position; horizontal and vertical. The horizontal axis is lateral positioning parallel with the print head and is measured from the right side of the media to the left.

Unit 2: Programming Concepts PROGRAMMING CONCEPTS • • • • i Programming Reference Programming Language Selecting Protocol Codes Using Basic Print Position Commands 2-1 PN: 9001158B
Unit 2: Programming Concepts PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE A programming language for a printer is a familiar concept to most programmers. It is a group of commands that are designed to use the internal intelligence of the printer. The commands, which are referred to as SATO Command Codes, contain non-printable ASCII characters (such as , , ) and printable characters.
Unit 2: Programming Concepts SELECTING PROTOCOL CODES Protocol codes are the special control characters that prepare the printer to receive instructions. For example, the character tells the printer that a command code will follow and the character asks for the printer status. There are two pre-defined different sets of Protocol Control codes to choose from. Each set is made up of six special characters.
Unit 2: Programming Concepts USING BASIC It may be useful to test your printer using a BASIC program on a PC or to write your actual production programs in BASIC. Whatever the reason, if working in BASIC, some of the following hints may be helpful. Set the WIDTH of the output device to 255 characters to avoid automatically sending and characters after every line. The command string should be continuous and uninterrupted by and/or commands.
Unit 2: Programming Concepts PRINT POSITION COMMANDS There are three methods using command codes to properly orient print images on a label. They are as follows: MEDIA SIZE COMMAND The Media Size Command (A1) allows specification of the label width and length so the printer may autmatically adjust itself relative to the command entry. However, the label size specified and the actual label size must match.
Unit 2: Programming Concepts HORIZONTAL OFFSET COMMAND Allows print image orientation by combining a part of both methods above by establishing the media size and then orienting it through base reference point adjustment. EXAMPLE: A Printer with 8-dpmm: Label Width = 2" x 25.4 mm/in x 8 dpmm = 406 dots New Base Reference Point = Maximum Print Width - Label Width = (832 dots) - (406 dots) = 426 dots Each H command would have the value “426” added to it to correctly position each field.

Unit 6: Bi-Directional Communications INTRODUCTION Bi-Directional communications is a two-way communications protocol between the host and the printer enabling the host to monitor and control the printer’s operational status. GENERAL CONFIGURATION Refer to Appendix: Reference Table 40 for printer configuration commands. RECEIVE BUFFER This protocol controls information such as reception, print, and cancelation for every item.
Unit 6: Bi-Directional Communications RETURN STATUS The printer’s status and response will be returned to the host through this interface protocol by receiving two command types; the status request and print commands. STATUS REQUEST COMMAND When this command is received, the Job ID Number of the receive data under print, the printer status, and the remaining print numbers will be returned to the host. When printing is complete, all “0” (HEX 30H) will be returned.
Unit 6: Bi-Directional Communications *1) When printer receives status request command during printing, the status of after printing end is returned. *2) When in standby for a dispense, status is reflected after printing a label. RETURN STATUS/FORMAT STX ID NUMBER STATUS REMAINING PRINT NUMBER ETX 000000 To 999999 Job ID specified by the command IDxx will be displayed for the current job being printed. If the ID is not specified, this will display as two spaces.
Unit 6: Bi-Directional Communications ENQUIRE & RESPONSE ENQUIRE (ENQ) Upon receipt of an ENQ command, the printer responds with status information bounded by an STX/ETX pair. The status information is defined as follows: { # Byte ID }{ # Status Byte }{ # Byte Label Remaining }{ # Byte Job Name } ID Identifies the current print job ID. Is defined using the Job ID (ID) command transmitted with the print job. Status Defines the current status of the printer.

Unit 6: Bi-Directional Communications SENSOR STATUS (SG) Receipt of SOH followed by SG causes the printer to return information bounded by an STX-ETX pair that reports the current operating status of the printer’s sensors. RETURN STATUS/FORMAT STX EYE-MARK SENSOR LEVEL GAP SENSOR LEVEL HEAD-OPEN SENSOR DISPENSER SENSOR ETX 6+ Bytes Figure 6-2, Return Status/Format Diagram SG RETURN STATUS TABLE NUMBER ITEM CONTENT BYTES 1 Eye-Mark Sensor Level AD conversion value.0.255.
