1. Introduction

This material provides the necessary information for directly controlling the Brother PJ-600 series printer (hereafter, referred to as “PJ unit”). This information is provided assuming that the user has full understanding of the operating system being used and basic mastery of USB/Bluetooth/IrDA and networks in a developer’s environment.

Details concerning the USB interface are not described in this material. If a USB interface is being used, refer to “7. USB Specifications” to prepare the interface.

We accept no responsibility for any problems caused by programs that you develop using the information provided in this material, affecting software, data or hardware, including the Brother PJ unit, and any problems resulting directly or indirectly from them. These materials are provided in their current condition, and we assume no responsibility for their content. Use this material only if you accept these terms.

This material shall not be reproduced, in part or in full, without prior approval. In addition, this material shall not be used as evidence in a lawsuit or dispute in a way that is unfavorable towards our company.

2. Overview

The printing procedure is described below. For detailed flow charts, refer to “6. Flow Charts” For details on each command, refer to “5. Command”.

1. Open USB/Bluetooth Serial/IrDA/Network port Open the USB/Bluetooth Serial/IrDA/network port in the operating environment. In addition, since the procedure for opening the USB port is not described in this material, perform the appropriate operation for the environment being used.

2. Check machine status

The “Status information request” command is sent to the printer, the status information received from the

printer is analyzed, and then the status of the printer is determined. For details on the “Status information

request” command and on the definition of “status”, refer to “4. Status” in “Command Reference”. Printing is possible if the analysis results show that the following conditions are met.

・ Paper compatible with the print data is installed in the printer. ・ No error has occurred.

This step is not necessary with a unidirectional transmission.

3. Send print data The print data is sent. The structure of the print data is explained in the next section, “3. Print Data”.

4. Confirmation of printing completion When printing is completed, the status is sent from the printer. This status is analyzed and, if printing is completed, one page is printed. If the print job has multiple pages, 2 through 4 are repeated. In addition, the status is not sent with a unidirectional transmission.

5. Close USB/Bluetooth Serial/IrDA/Network port

After all printing is finished, close the port.

3.2.4. Raster line

The following shows how the raster is arranged on the pins of the print head according to "raster graphics transfer". The number of offset pins is calculated automatically based on the “set paper width” command and centering the print area across the print head The raster data specified with the “set left margin” and “1 raster line data transfer” commands is reflected in the pins of the print area. Furthermore, specified print data that extends out of the print area is automatically cut by the unit. In addition, the page margins (in all directions) in the figure shown below have no effect on the raster line.

Description

Moves the cursor the specified distance from the left edge of the printable area in the X direction. The setting is a 2-byte value, and the units are in bits. Since the sent data is specified in bytes, it is treated as a multiple of 8. If it is not a multiple of 8, the nearest value at a multiple of 8 is specified.

Ex) 1B H 7E H 24 H 44 H 00 H 44 H = 68 However, since it is treated as bytes, the setting becomes 64.

Definition of {n1}: Number of lines

This command is used in connection with the “1 raster line data transfer” command. After raster line data is transferred, the line buffer data is deleted, and then the current print position in the X direction remains the same while the print position is moved in the Y direction by the number of lines specified with {n1}.

Ex) 1B H 7E H 4A H 03 H Performs a line feed of 3 lines.

Definition of {n1} and {n2}: Amount of data to be sent (Specified in units of bytes.) Definition of {d1} + ... + {dk}: Raster line data

The data print position specified with this command is for the current position of the current raster line. If more than 1 "Raster line data transfer" command is sent for the same raster line, the data cannot be positioned to the left of the final raster byte already sent for this raster line. Ex) 1B H 7E H 2A H 2C H 01 H FF H FF H ... 300 bytes = Sends raster line data for 2400 dots

8. Compatibility and Support Information

8.1. Compatibility with PJ-500 series printers

Main differences with PJ3/PJ3Plus

The main differences with the PJ-500 series printers are listed below.

・USB-related information

(Product ID, Device ID, PnP ID, Manufacturer string descriptor and Product string descriptor)

・Shortened IrDA transmission distance

Transferring from PJ-500 series printers to PJ-600/700 series printers

With a USB connection, since the installed driver will change, the machine cannot simply be

exchanged. The driver must be replaced from the application.

With an IrDA/Bluetooth connection, the machine can simply be used as it is. However, if the printing system for the PJ-500 series printers have created an assumed Friendly Name and PIN code (default), printing is not possible on the PJ-600/700 series printers.

Data that can be printed on the PJ-500 series printers can be sent to the PJ-600/700 series printers to be printed; however, the opposite does not apply.

*Note: The PJ-500 series actualy includes the PJ3/PJ3Plus.
