1. OVERVIEW
This specification defines the following that are realized by the firmware, for the OKIPOS 425S/D
(POS Printer) OKI Standard Version.
• OKIPOS 425S : OKI Single Standard Version
• OKIPOS 425D : OKI Dual Standard Version
<Conventions in this specification document>
This printer comes in two models, 1-Roll Model and 2-Roll Model. The 2-Roll Model printer has three
roll paper modes, Receipt, Journal, and Receipt+Journal. The 1-Roll Mode printer has only the Roll
paper mode.
In this specification document, if the 1-Roll Model is not specifically mentioned when the 1-Roll
Model is involved, for “Receipt (mode)”, read “Roll Paper (mode)”, and ignore the descriptions for
“Journal (mode)” or “Receipt+Journal (mode)”.
<Definitions of Off-line>
This printer is not equipped with the On-line/Off-line switch. It becomes Off-line under the following
conditions:
(1) During the period from POW ON or initialization of the mechanism prompted by the reset from
the interface, to the time communications become available.
(2) During execution of local test.
(3) When the cover is opened (“Cover Open Alarm” on the menu is set to “Yes”)
(4) During paper feed by the switch.
(5) Printing has stopped due to Paper End.
(Paper End of Receipt, Journal, or Receipt+Journal selected by ESC c4.)
(6) Recoverable Error has occurred.
(Except Head Thermal Alarm, SP Thermal Alarm or LF Thermal Alarm)
(7) Unrecoverable Error has occurred.
At Off-line, an On-line/Off-line status that is sent by GS a n, ESC DLE a Pno n, GS ENQ, DLE EOT
n, and ESC DLE r Pno n becomes off-line, and the I/F becomes Busy. In the case of (3) through
(6), the I/F becomes Busy only if “Off-line Busy Control” on the menu is set to “Yes”
* Each I/F becomes Busy in the following manner.
• With the Parallel model (Centronics I/F), the Busy signal becomes High at Off-line.
• With the Serial model (RS232C I/F), the following Busy control is performed at Off-line.
If handshake is DTR/DSR, the DTR signal will change to MARK.
If handshake is XON/XOFF, DC3 will be sent.

To enter the above modes, turn the power on while holding down the switches marked with
a circle ( ).
In No.4, if the lever is on the tractor side, the Sprocket Print Test becomes effective. If the
lever is not on the tractor side, the Slip Print Test becomes effective.
In Nos. 5, 8 and 10, if the lever is on the tractor side, these local functions become invalid,
and the printer starts in normal mode.
Nos.1 ~ 3, 6, 7 and 9 become effective regardless of the lever state.
In Nos.1~ 3, the print widths will be those set in the menu “Width of Roll Paper”.
In Nos.1 ~ 4 and 10, if SW1 is pressed, printing suspends. When the SW1 is pressed again,
the printing resumes.
In No.1 ~ 5, 8 and 10, if the cover is opened, printing suspends. When the cover is closed,
printing resumes.

2.3 LOCAL TEST
This function creates test data internally as if the printer received the data from the host, and prints
the test pattern.
2.3.1 Printer Status in Local Test Mode
When the local test begins, the printer cannot receive data (*1).
Even when a recoverable alarm occurs, the test mode is not cleared, and the test print resumes
when the alarm element is cleared.
The condition to end the local test is to turn the power off, but the local test is terminated when
I- PRIME signal (Parallel model) /Reset signal (Serial model) is received or a fatal alarm occurs.
(*1) When the printer cannot receive data, each I/F presents Busy as follows.
* Parallel model (Centronics interface): Busy signal → High
* Serial model (RS232C I/F): Busy control as follows.
When handshake is DTR/DSR: DTR signal → MARK status
When handshake is XON/XOFF: Sends DC3

2.4.3 How to Operate
2.4.3.1 Start
To start the Menu Mode, turn the printer on while holding down SW2 + SW1. When the printer’s
initialization ends correctly, the printer prints the title “Menu Print” and all the menu items and set
values. Then, the printer line-feeds until the print result goes beyond the Manual Cutter position,
prints the item/set value immediately after “Menu Print”, then, waits for a switch to be pressed.
2.4.3.2 Operation
The switch functions during the menu mode are as follows:
Switch
SW2
SW3
SW1
SW4
Function
Advances the set values of the Menu Item, one at a time.
From the last set value, returns to the first set value.
Ends Menu Mode.
Registers the set values in EEPROM, then, prints the end
message “Menu End” and returns to the same initialized
state as at power on.
Advances the Menu Items, one at a time.
From the last Menu Item, returns to the first Menu Item.
Feeds the receipt, by one line.
41049421PS Rev.3 21 /
2.5 HEX DUMP FUNCTION (Receipt)
This function converts received data, as it is, to character codes, and prints it in the Receipt mode.
The printed contents are as follows: Upon receiving one byte, the printer divides it into three
characters, High-nibble, Low-nibble and a space. Regarding these as 1 block, the printer prints 8
blocks in one line, then, prints the same data in the character format.
Upon entering the HEX dump mode, the printer prints “Hex Data Dump”. (Title printing)

2.5.2 How to Print
(1) If it does not receive data after 150ms have passed since receiving last data, the printer starts
printing (CR) if it has some data.
(If there is not enough data to form 8 blocks, spaces will be used.)
If it subsequently receives data, the printer prints from a position next to the position at which
the printing started.
(2) If it receives the I-PRIME signal (Parallel model)/Reset signal (Serial model), the printer starts
printing if it has some data, then, feeds one line. Then, the printer is initialized. (If it does not
have any data, the printer feeds one line and then, is initialized.) After the initialization, the
printer starts up in dump mode again and prints. The line number is reset, however, and
counting begins from “0000”.
* When I-PRIME signal (Parallel model)/Reset signal (Serial model) is hard reset (setting by
Short Plug with Parallel I/F board and by DIP SW with Serial I/F board), it immediately starts
initialization and does not continue hex dump.
(3) One line-feed is added for every 16 lines.
(4) The count begins from “0000” when the line number exceeds “FFF8”.

3.1.1.2 DLE Sequence
(1) Command recognition
A code that follows a DLE code is treated as a 7-bit code. (MSB=0)
For the parameters, which vary among the commands, see each command’s functions.
If a function code follows a DLE code, it is is treated as a stand-alone function code.
If DLE codes come in succession, they are treated as a DLE code.
Example: DLE DLE EOT n is treated as command DLE EOT n.

3.2 Control Operations
The control functions are described in the subsequent sections.
3.2.1 Print Operation Control
This section describes the print operation control functions.
3.2.1.1 Print/Carriage Return
Name: Print/Carriage Return
HEX: 0DH
Code
DEC: 13
Functions:
(1) To start printing received data and set the position to start receiving the next line’s data at the
left margin position (start of that line) after printing.
(2) To perform Carriage Return and Line Feed if Auto LF is set to Enabled on the menu.
(3) To perform Carriage Return to the start position of the line on Receipt side in Receipt+Journal
mode.
(4) To prompt the mode to shift Receipt+Journal in Validation Mode if Auto LF is set to Enabled
on the menu.

3.2.2 Space Control
The space control functions are described in the subsequent sections.
3.2.2.1 Left Margin Set
ESC DLE l Pno n1 n2
Name: Setting Left Margin
HEX: 1BH 10H 6CH Pno n1 n2
Code
DEC: 27 16 108 Pno n1 n2
Function:
(1) To set Left Margin in increments of 1/60" from the home position.
n1= low-order bytes and n2=high-order bytes
(2) The DEL in the command sequence disables MSB. (“90H” is effective as well.)
(3) Valid range and definitions of parameters
(a) Pno: To designate the number of bytes (number of parameters) following ESC DLE
l Pno MSB is invalid.
Range: 00H ≤ Pno ≤ FFH
With this command, Pno=2.
(b) To designate the print position by n1 n2 on the basis of the home position.
Example) In case of ESC DLE l 02H 02H 00H:
n1=02H
n2=00H
The print position would be:
Home Position "0" Left Margin (increments of 1/60")
In this case, Left Margin is 2/60" from the home position.
(4) Range and definitions of n1,n2
0(00H) ≤ n1 ≤ 255 (FFH)
0(00H) ≤ n2 ≤ 255 (FFH)
If a value exceeding the value below is set, this command will be ignored and the previous
setting will remain valid.
The maximum value of n1, n2 would be one that does not fall below 1.25" in the distance to
the right margin.

(5) Received within the line, this command will be ignored.
(6) If setting is made by this command in Receipt/Journal/Receipt+Journal Mode, that setting will
be valid for both Receipt and Journal.
It will not affect Slip/Validation/Sprocket.
(7) If setting is made by this command in Slip/Validation/Sprocket Mode, that setting will be valid
for all of Slip/Validation/Sprocket.
It will not affect Receipt or Journal.
(8) Neither the left margin position that is set in Receipt/Journal/Receipt+Journal Mode nor the left
margin position set in Slip/Validation/Sprocket Mode will change when the mode is switched.

3.2.2.2 Absolute Position Designate
ESC $ n1 n2
Name: Absolute Position Designate
HEX: 1BH 24H n1 n2
Code
DEC: 27 36 n1 n2
Function:
(1) To move a next printing position from the start position in the line to the one designated by n1
n2 in increments of 1/180" or 1/240".
Default unit of measurement is 1/180", but 1/240" if Condense is set.
n1 = low-order byte, n2 = high-order byte
(2) To designate the print position according to n1 n2, based on the left margin position (start
position of the line).
The left margin changes, the print start position, too, changes even if the setting is the same.
e.g.) ESC $ 02H 00H
n1 = 02H
n2 = 00H
The print position would be:
Left Margin Print Position (increments of 1/180 or 1/240")
In this case, subsequent data will be printed 2/180" or 2/240" from the left margin.
(3) Valid range and definitions of n1,n2
0(00H) ≤ n1 ≤ 255(FFH)
0(00H) ≤ n2 ≤ 255(FFH)
(4) Range of n1 n2 (If any value outside the range is designated, the command will be ignored in
its entirety.)
The range in the table below assumes the left margin position being 0.
If Left Margin + Absolute Position exceeds the right margin (ininches) in the table below, the
command will be ignored in its entirety.

(5) The amount of movement is calculated according to the following formula.
Movement (Distance from left margin) = {n1+(n2 AND 03H) × 256}/180 (inch) or
= {n1+(n2 AND 03H) × 256}/240 (inch)
0 ≤ movement < 6.3 (inch)
(6) If the parameter (n1 n2), which would set the print position to the left of the present print position,
is designated, print start is prompted.
(7) No underline is added to the movement made by this command.
(8) When Same Data Print is reset with Receipt+Journal, if the present position is located on the
Receipt side, the setting within the Receipt print position is valid, and if the present position is
located on the Journal side, the setting within the Journal print range is valid.
(On the Journal side, the left edge of the Journal print area is set as a start position of the pint line.)
