7193 Owner’s Guide Commands May 1996 Real Time Commands The Real Time commands correct difficulties with the original version of the 7193 RS-232C communication interface: • Real Time Status Transmission: GS (Hex 1D) Sequence and DLE (Hex 10) Sequence • Real Time Request to Printer: GS (Hex 1D) Sequence and DLE (Hex 10) Sequence • Real Time [...]

Commands 7193 Owner’s Guide May 1996 88 Alternate Implementation The alternate implementation uses the DLE (Hex 10) sequences as implemented on Epson’s TM-T85™ and TM-U950™. An application using these DLE (Hex 10) sequences and the original 7193 Clear Printer command must distinguish for the printer between the new Real Time commands and th[...]

7193 Owner’s Guide Commands May 1996 Moving Data Through the Buffer Applications should not let the buffer fill up with Real Time commands when the printer is busy at the RS-232C interface. A busy condition at the RS-232C interface can be determined by bit 3 of the response to GS ENQ or GS EOT 1 or DLE EOT 1. The reason for a particular busy cond[...]

Commands 7193 Owner’s Guide May 1996 90 Busy Line and Fault Conditions An additional improvement is made in the way the 7193 RS-232C handles the busy line (or busy condition when using XON/XOFF) during a fault condition. Before this improvement, the printer would go busy at the RS-232C interface when the receipt door was opened or the paper was e[...]

7193 Owner’s Guide Commands May 1996 If you have programmed the printer to handle the busy line the old way, but wish to re-program it to the new way, do the following steps: 1. Record the current switch settings for their RS-232C parameters. 2. Set switches 2, 3, and 6 to OFF, and set switches 1, 4, and 5 to ON. 3. Power cycle the printer. 4. Wa[...]
