5.6 DATA Construction

5.6.1 Serial Data format

1. Start BIT

2. DATA BIT (+ Parity BIT)

3. Stop BIT (1 ~ 2 BIT)

(1) ST ART BIT At 1 / 2 BIT after (a), signal level is checked out, (b). When signal level is MARK, continuous search for START BIT is made for the next bit.

(2) DATA BIT + PARITY BIT DATA BIT and PARITY BIT are checked out every 1 / 2 BIT from the half point of START BIT, (b). Signal level of these points (MARK = 1, SPACE = 0) are read as input DATA. The sequence of these BIT is BIT 0, BIT 1 ~ PARITY BIT from START BIT.

(3) STOP BIT STOP BIT is 1 or 2 BIT and its signal level is MARK. If SPACE LEVEL is read at STOP BIT, FRAMING ERROR occurs.

CITIZEN

iDP-562 User’s Manual

5.6.2. Detection System for Error

The printer detects PARITY and FRAMING ERROR. ALARM (ALM) LAMP informs the user error occurrence. When any error is detected, the printer deletes the wrong DATA and waits for new DATA, ALM LAMP can be put out by depressing SEL switch.

Framing Error Framing error occurs when SPACE signal is checked out at STOP BIT. ALM LAMP informs the user this error and the wrong data is neglected by the printer.

Parity Error Parity check function works only when the user designates it. ALM LAMP informs you this error. The wrong data is neglected by the printer.

Other Errors When any trouble is found out at the printer, ALM LAMP informs the user this error. In this case, FAULT signal is SPACE, DTR signal is BUSY and the machine becomes deselect condition. ALARM condition will be released by depressing SEL Switch after removing the trouble at the printer. The machine is now SELECT condition and starts to input DATA.

5.6.3. Input Control and Buffering

DATA receipt is controlled by each character. In case the connected computer neglects this regulation and transfers DATA during BUSY, “OVER RUN ERROR” occurs. To avoid this error, DATA should be transferred after confirming the printer is at “READY”. However, if the connected computer has double buffer system, the printer can accept up to 2 words.

(1) Input Control to Signal Buffer BUSY signal is SPACE when the printer is ready to accept DATA (signal level of BUSY can be changed by H / W) After receiving START BIT from the computer, (1 / 2 START BIT), BUSY signal becomes MARK level.

CITIZEN

(2) Input Control for Double Buffer

iDP-562 User’s Manual

Double buffer transfer is made as follows.

1. The computer transfers 1

2. The printer continues BUSY condition for receiving 2

3. The computer transfers 3

and 2nd BYTE of DATA after checking READY condition.

BYTE of DATA after checking READY condition.

BYTE of DATA.

The printer expects Double Buffer transfer at the first stage. Therefore, after completion of 1

reception, the printer waits for 2

BYTE of DATA. The printer recognizes Single Buffer transfer for the absence

of START BIT after 1 ~ 2 STOP BIT.

7.3 Input Data Format

The input data to the printer is made by the codes listed in the Character Code Table.

1 Standard Character print Mode Designation

US(1F) DATA

Designation of standard character print mode is made immediately after power-on and initialization or after print. Therefore US code can be omitted. In addition, when the data of 40 characters (standard character mode) is input in one line, an automatic line feed is carried out after printing (full buffer print). For 8 BIT DATA SI code is the same as US code.

2 Enhanced Character Print Mode Designation

RS(1E) DATA CR(0D)

All the print data which follow RS code are enhanced and are reversed to standard character by US code. You can print the both standard and enhanced characters in one line. Automatic printing is carried out when full column data (40 columns in standard character) is input. This RS code is released automatically after printing. For 8 BIT DATA SO code is the same as RS code.

3 Red Print Mode Designation

DC(12) DATA CR(0D)

Red Print Mode is designated by DC2 code and released after printing one line. It is not possible to print Red and Black printing in one line. If DC2 code is input again in the same line, Red Print Mode is released and the entire printing in the line is printed in Black.

4 Graphic Print Mode Designation

ESC(1B) K(4B) n1 n2 DATA

Input ESC K (1B 4B) at the top of the line and then input Graphic Print Data, which is converted to binary, into n1. After that, input dummy data in n2. If it is also the Graphic Print in the next line, ESC K n1 n2 should be input once again before the data. The number for Graphic Print Data should be:

1 £ n1 £ 240

Any numbers other than the above comes to 240.

5 Graphic Print Data Printing in seven lengthwise dots by 240 rows can be made in one line. The 7 lengthwise dots are input as the graphic print data. The data are computed as follows: ® The position as traced from the home position

Correspondence of head pin to graphic print data

As will be understood from the above, the data are used in which the first dot corresponds to the first bit and

dot corresponds to the 7th bit. The 8th bit is disregarded. Try to select decimal data or hexadecimal data

the 7 matching to the host computer.

6 Paging designation and page length designation

ESC(1B) C(43) n

Input ESC C (1B, 43) at the top of the line and next input n, which are integers. With this code, the length (number of line) per page can be set, and paging action is started, and the space of three lines are left at the both top and bottom of the page, n should be:

14 £ n £ 120 Otherwise, it comes to 66. The paging can be released by ESC O (1B, 4F).

7 Form Feed

FF(0C)

With this code, paper feed goes on. If there is data in the buffer when this code is input, the printer dose from feed after the printing. The top of from for the next page is made in accordance with the page length which was specified with ESC C n. Top of position of the page is determined when power is turned on or when page length is specified with ESC C n.

8 Canceling

CAN(18)

All the data input in one line prior to CAN are cleared entirely with this code.

9 Line Spacing Designation

ESC(1B) 1(31)

With this code, 2.75mm line spacing can be set for graphic print.

10 Standard Line Spacing Designation

ESC81B) 2(32)

With this code, 5.5mm line spacing can be set.

11 Reverse Characters Command

DC4(14) DATA CR(0D)

This code is used to input reverse characters command. If DC4 code is detected again on the same line, this command will be released. It is possible to input DC4 code repeatedly on one line, completing one-line printing.
