1. Features

(1) Data can be display on 20 columns x 2 lines.
(2) Blue–green color and large character are easy to see
(3)The DIP switches setting emulate commands mode, baud rate and international character.
(4) Command emulation modes include POS7300/ CD5220 II/ ADM787/ UTC / AEDEX/ Epson/ DSP800.
(5) User’s-defined character and message can be downloaded.
(6) Display area can be controlled by window function.
(7) Provides an interface based in RS-232C, and RS232C baud rate from 4800 to 38400 bps.
(8) Reverse characters can be specified using the Epson command set.
(9) Support software has facility for designing user-defined characters and downloading setup

parameters to the display.

10.) The other option interface RS485 can link max. 256 display by one port.

11.) Provides pass through function, so both printer and display can be connected to the same port.

9.11 Move cursor to left-most position

The cursor will be moved to the left-end position of the current line.

9.12 Move cursor to right-most position

The cursor will be moved to the right-end position of the current line.

9.13 Move cursor to bottom position

The cursor will be moved to the right-end position on the lower line.

9.14 Move cursor to specified position

The cursor will be moved to the x column on the y line.

9.15 Initialize display

The data in the input buffer will be cleared and reset from default.

9.16 Reset the window

Reset the window on the display. When s=0, window is cancelled (values: x1, x2, and y are not
required.)
When s=1 the window will be reset (values: x1, x2, and y are required.) The x1 and x2 set the position of
the left column
and right column, respectively, of the window. The y sets the upper line or the lower line of the window.

9.20 Set cursor ON or OFF

When n=0, cursor is OFF
When n=1, cursor is ON

9.21 Set user-defined characters

The n defines the beginning character code, and m defines the ending character code. When only one
character is
defined, use n=m
The ‘a’ denotes the number of dots in the horizontal direction. When a<5, the dot pattern for ‘ a’ on the
right side of the
user-defined characters are padded with spaces p1 .. pa, the dot data is to defined the characters. This
indicates the

When n=0, user-defined characters are cancelled and the international character set is selected.

9.23 Cancel user defined characters

User-defined characters are cancelled.
This command cancels the defined characters specified by n.
If specified code is transmitted after the pattern is cancelled, the international character will be displayed.

9.24 Store the user defined character into EEPROM

If EEPROM is not supported, this command is ignored.

9.25 Restore the user defined character from EEPROM

If EEPROM is not supported, this command is ignored.
