Using attention

attention

4.1 Please notice, the ESD wrist ring and the humidity manufa c tures ETC, when using the printer,to protect the inner el e ctronic parts of the printer from the damage of ESD,because the TPH of the Printer and photoelectric sensor are ESD Sensitive parts.

4.2 For protecting plastic shaft,Don ’ t smear any oil or others on the rubber parts

4.3 Don ’ t touch the TPH, TPH having the palm oil,will induce the usage of the printer.If any oil or others in the TPH,pl ease using an alcohol cotton stick clean the area between plastic shaft and printer head at once.PS,Don ’ t strike the TPH.

4.4 Due to the printer is easy-paper structure,you need pick up the rubber stick only push the rubber stick.So,if the paper jam,push harder will cause the rubber stick gearwheel damaged.so pl ease don ' t push the paper harder , pl ease do open the cover and re-fill the paper .

4.5 The temperature of the TPH protection must be below 65 ℃ ,if you print contin u ously,Because the exterior of the temperature of the IC protection & motor can ’ t not over 90 ℃ to protect the motor thread ring.

4.6 Pl ea s e use the good quality paper,because the sens i tive of the paper will inf l uence print effect,meanwhile,rough paper will inc r ease the excessive wear to the printer head, and reduce the life of the printer .

This command selects a bit image mode using m for the number of dots specified by (nL+nH*256) m =0,1,32,33 nL=0-255 nH=0-3 dx=0-255 k = nL+256*nH (m=0,1) k = (nL+256*nH)*3 (m=32,33) The modes selected by m are as follows: 0 ： 8dots single density ， 102dpi 1: 8dots double density ， 203dpi 31:24 dots single density,102dpi 32:24 dots double density,203dpi The bit image format is the same as user-defined character.

Note: This version include a checksum for ESC * command, so if no correct checksum received after bit image data, the image wi l l not printed. Checksum flow as follow:

1 . Host sends FS C command as

0x1C, 0x43

2 . Host sends graphics mode setting command as

0x1B, 0x2A , 0x00 , 0x05, 0x00

3. Host sends data bytes as 0x01,0x02, 0x44, 0x23, 0xA3

4. Checksum = 0x01 + 0x02 + 0x44 + 0x23 + 0xA3 = 0x010D

5. Now Host sends Checksum byte as only LSB i.e 0x0D

Description : Set “ max heating dots ” , ” heating time ” , “ heating interval ”

n1 = 0-255 Max printing dots , Unit(8dots) , Default:7(64 dots) n2 = 3-255 Heating time , Unit(10us),Default:80(800us) n3 = 0-255 Heating interval,Unit(10us) , Default:2(20us) The more max heating dots, the more peak current will cost when printing , the faster printing speed. The max heating dots is 8*(n1+1) The more heating time , the more density , but the slower printing speed. If heating time is too short, blank page may occur. The more heating interval , the more clear , but the slower printing speed.
