— 146 — Before an FF is sent (170th line), the following program code can be added to remove part of the data. 180 PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1B);"W";CHR$(72);CHR$(0);CHR$(120);CHR$(0); 190 PRINT #1, CHR$(36);CHR$(0);CHR$(48)CHR$(0); 200 PRINT #1, CHR$(&H18); As a result of the additional program code, a print-out is executed as shown i[...]

— 147 — 4.2 Bidirectional Parallel Interface Overview The interface of the printer is a Level-1 compatible device according to IEEE-P1284. It supports the communication modes described in 4.2.1 below . 4.2.1 Parallel Interface Communication Mode The parallel interface of the printer provides three communication modes as outlined below . When th[...]

— 148 — 4.2.3 Negotiation 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 si[...]

— 149 — 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. Once the nStrobe signal is set to High, however [...]

— 150 — Data Communication from Printer to Host 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 A vailable phase. If the Negotiation phase has switched to the Host Busy [...]

— 151 — Byte 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 A vailable phase. If the Negotiation phase has switched to the Host Busy Data Not A vailable phase, the procedure s[...]

— 152 — 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. When the printer receives a request for a device ID from the host, it replies with the following device ID: <00>H<2E>H MFG : CBM; CMD : ESC/POS; MDL : CT -S300; CLS : PRINTER; [...]

— 153 — (2) Immediate termination: 1) If the interface is deactivated (IEEE 1284 Active: Low) without Event 22 having taken place, the printer immediately performs T ermination. In this termination, the data is not guaranteed, and the printer switches the data bus from output to input within 1 µsec. In the Reverse Idle phase, the printer can n[...]
