TH230/TH230+ Programmers Guide Overview Purpose of this document This Programmers Guide describes the properties of the controller for the high speed ESCPOS thermal printer TH230/TH230+. Introduction The TH230 and the TH230+ are powerful and low cost thermal printers for all kind of POS systems. In this manual both printers will be referred to as TH230. Only in case of essential differences there will be a distinction between TH230 and TH230+.

TH230/TH230+ Programmers Guide Firmware Characteristics of the Controller The TH230 printer is controlled with the aid of control sequences, i.e. a series of characters. The standard setting is thus overridden, which means that you are able to set many print functions individually if the standard values do not correspond to your requirements. Possible changes are, among others, the selection of different line feed sizes and the printing of various graphics.

Programmers Guide TH230/TH230+ Offline State If the TH230 printer leaving the online state, nevertheless it responds to all real time commands and real time status commands. Sending other data than real time commands may lead to data loss (see memory switch 2-8 Listen to Real-Time-Commands).
PAGE 12
TH230/TH230+ Programmers Guide Operator Panel The Operator Panel consists of one button and three LED’s. In addition there is one power button to switch the printer on and off. In the following description, you can see which function of the printer influence the LED’s and which functions are executed with the buttons: Linefeed Button If you push this button once and release it, the printer executes a small paper feed.

Programmers Guide TH230/TH230+ Sleep Mode The Sleep Mode is used to save energy when the printer is switched on but has nothing to print. This mode reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Sleep Mode is switched on by a Memory Switch. The Sleep Mode Waiting Time is set by a Customized Setting Value and defines the time; the printer has to wait before it changes into Sleep Mode. In the following state diagram the coherence between the different modes is described.

Programmers Guide TH230/TH230+ Programming Hints In this chapter programmers may find some hints and tricks to make the thermal printout faster, look better or increase the lifetime of the thermal print head. Vertical Dot Lines Text To increase the lifetime of the thermal print head the programmer has to avoid printing of long vertical dot lines like in the ticket on the left side. In this ticket the two vertical dot lines are printed always with the same two print dots of the thermal print line.

Programmers Guide TH230/TH230+ Basic processing procedure for the page mode: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Select the page mode with ESC L (standard mode is changed to page mode). Set the position and size for the printing area with ESC W. Select the starting position and the direction for data development with ESC T. Store print data (such as characters or graphics) in the print buffer. Print all data in the print buffer collectively with ESC FF. Return to standard mode with ESC S.
PAGE 18
TH230/TH230+ Programmers Guide Absolute Origin of Graphics and Text in Page Mode The printing area is set by the command ESC W (see page 63). The absolute origin of graphics and text is the lower left of the printable area. This caused a different behavior: Text and graphics (for example GS *, ESC (+*.BMP file) and GS ( L) can be printed in the same row Print buffer will be print form bottom to top.

TH230/TH230+ Programmers Guide USB Interface The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a peripheral bus for personal computers that was first released in January 1996. The TH230 supports the USB Printer Class. USB Descriptors When plugging in an USB device the USB enumeration process starts and the device reports their attributes using descriptors. A descriptor is a data structure with a defined format. Device Descriptor A device descriptor describes general information about an USB device.
PAGE 243
Programmers Guide TH230/TH230+ Configuration Descriptor The configuration descriptor describes information about a specific device configuration. The descriptor contains a bConfigurationValue field with a value that, when used as a parameter to the SetConfiguration() request, causes the device to assume the described configuration. A USB device has one or more configuration descriptors. Each configuration has one or more interfaces and each interface has zero or more endpoints.
PAGE 244
TH230/TH230+ Programmers Guide Interface Descriptors The interface descriptor describes a specific interface provided by the associated configuration. A configuration provides one or more interfaces, each with its own endpoint descriptors describing a unique set of endpoints within the configuration. An interface descriptor is always returned as part of a configuration descriptor. It cannot be accessed directly with a Get or Set Descriptor request.
PAGE 245
Programmers Guide TH230/TH230+ Endpoint Descriptors Each endpoint used for an interface has its own descriptor. This descriptor contains the information required by the host to determine the bandwidth requirements of each endpoint. An endpoint descriptor is always returned as part of a configuration descriptor. It cannot be accessed directly with a Get or Set Descriptor request. There is never an endpoint descriptor for endpoint zero.
PAGE 246
Programmers Guide TH230/TH230+ String Descriptors Descriptors contain references to string descriptors that provide displayable information describing a descriptor in human-readable form. The inclusion of string descriptors is optional. If a device does not support string descriptors, all references to string descriptors within device, configuration, and interface descriptors must be reset to zero. The strings in a USB device may support multiple languages.

Programmers Guide TH230/TH230+ Printer Interface The TH230 printers are multi-interface-devices (composite device) and one of these interfaces is the printer interface. Every interface is a logical device from the host point of view and the printer interface is the printer in fact. IEEE 1284 Device ID (GET_DEVICE_ID) Upon receive of the printer class-specific request GET_DEVICE_ID the printer returns a device ID string that is compatible with IEEE 1284. See IEEE 1284 for syntax and formatting information.

Programmers Guide TH230/TH230+ Service Menu A service menu is integrated in the TH230 printer, which allows the user to easily configure the printer, run several diagnostic tests and gain some information about the printer state and the built-in functionality. This chapter gives an overview about the handling and the content of the service menu. Menu handling Selecting the service menu To start the service menu you just have to press and hold the linefeed (LF) button during power up or printer reset.
PAGE 253
TH230/230+ Programmer’s Guide Controlling the service menu The linefeed button (LF) controls the service menu. A short click of the LF button increments the selection and a long click (approx. 1 sec) executes the selected function or rather prints out the selected sub-menu. Action Effect Short click Increment selection Long click (approx. 1 sec.) Execute selected function / Confirm The current selection is indicated by the 3 LED’s.

Programmers Guide TH230/TH230+ Save changed settings In the configurations menu is it possible to change some Memory switches or customer values. If one or more changes are done, the user will ask for save this new setting. It is possible to ignore the save request and continue the settings. However, every “Exit/Save” command or additional change will ask again. It is the fastest procedure to continue the settings and save all changes at one time, because every saved setting needs a warm reboot.

TH230/230+ Programmer’s Guide Endurance test The endurancetest prints continuously a test pattern. There are two possibilities to start this test: 1. By diagnostic menu. If the Endurancetest was started from diagnostic mode menu, the test can be aborted by pressing the LF-Button for more than 1 second. 2. After power up or printer reset with the help of a short circuit plug. Additionally the endurance test must be enable by memory switch (see page 98).
PAGE 282
Programmers Guide TH230/TH230+ Endurance test Printout The width of the graphics depends on the setting of the paper width. The number of tickets is divided into two kinds. The first Ticket is a ticket with graphics (see below) and the following nine tickets are without graphics. The endurance test prints the following graphics: (for 80 mm paper width) (for 57.5 mm paper width) After printing a ticket, two status lines are printed and the printer performs a partial paper cut.
PAGE 283
TH230/230+ Programmer’s Guide Black Mark test The printer moves the paper to the next black mark, prints three lines, moves the paper until the next black mark is underneath the cutter (one Form Feed) and cuts the paper. After this operation, the paper is moved backwards to the first print position (top of form). This test is repeated continuously and can be stopped by pushing the Linefeed button once.
PAGE 284
Programmers Guide TH230/TH230+ Description of EERPOM Updates After switching on the printer the statistic counters, which are stored in the EEPROM, were copied into the RAM. Up from that point the statistic counters are accumulated inside of the RAM. This means, actual statistic counters, which are stored in the RAM and EEPROM statistic counters are different! The first time after switching on the printer, the statistic data are saved after 7,5 minutes.
PAGE 285
TH230/230+ Programmer’s Guide Calculating Power On Time The Power on time is calculated by subtracting the Power on counter from the EEPROM update counter and dividing afterwards by 4. This calculation of the Power on time is correct, because the EEPROM update counter is increased and saved every 15 minutes. In special situations the EEPROM is updated additionally and then the Power on count is increased. This occurs every time when the Revision level counter was changed.
