8. INPUT BUFFER BACKUP FUNCTION

8.1 Buffer Size

With the DIP switch, you can set either 6K bytes or 256 bytes.
DIP switch 1-8 ON → 6K bytes

OFF → 256 bytes

8.2 Input Buffer Backup

Even if the power is turned off or fails during the printing process, the data in the input buffer will be saved.
If the power is turned on again, the printer will print a power failure mark, "==POWER DOWN==," in red
and reprints the data from the beginning of the line where it left off.

8.3 Clearing the Input Buffer

When you want to clear the data in the input buffer, turn on the power, holding down the LF switch. A
buzzer will sound to inform you that the input buffer has been cleared. Hold down the LF switch until the
buzzer sounds.

If the printer prints the data erroneously at power-on, clear the input buffer as described above, and then, re­input the data.

10.3 Input and Output Signals

10.3.1 Input and Output Signals

(1) RXD

This is a serial received data signal. When a framing error, overrun error, or parity error occurs, that
data is printed as "?".

(2) DTR

When this signal is Ready, write the data or a command. If written at the time of Busy, an overrun
error results, ignoring the previous data. The da ta can be written in the input buffer even during
printing. Busy is also issued at the time of power-on, test print, on-line, and reset.

(3) TXD

XON(11H) or XOFF(13H) is sent at XON/XOFF control. XON(11H) is sent every 3 seconds in the
Star mode.
When a command is received, that requests the printer state and printer status, 1-byte corresponding
data is output.

(4) DSR

When this signal is a space, the data is sent from the printer side . Note that if this signal is a mark
when a request to send command is executed, the printer will wait until the signal becomes a space.

(5) FAULT

1) CBM mode
When this signal is Space, a mechanical error has occurred.

2) STAR mode
When this signal is Mark, a mechanical error has occurred.

(6) RESET

A signal to reset the entire printer.(Negative logic)

(1) Start bit

After a lapse of 1/2 bit from a mark-to-space fall edge, the state is read again, and if it is a space, it is
recognized as the start bit. If it is a mark, it is assumed neither the start bit nor an error, and it is
attempted to detect the start bit again.

(2) Data bit + parity bit

The data bit and parity bit are sampled for 1 bit worth of time from the 1/2 start bit. The then state is
assumed the data for the corresponding bit. A sequence of the bits are named Bit 0, Bit 1, ..., parity
bit, starting from the one closest to the start bit.
