Introduction

Control Panel

IMPORTANT

PRT CONFIG Circular Pad

Configuration directly affects printer operation. Do not change the configuration of your printer until you are thoroughly familiar with the procedures in this chapter.

In order to print data, the printer must respond correctly to signals and commands received from the host computer. Configuration is the process of matching the printer's operating characteristics to those of the host computer and to specific tasks, such as printing labels or printing on different sizes of paper. The characteristics that define the printer's response to signals and commands received from the host computer are called configuration parameters. Examples are line spacing, form length, etc.

You can change the parameters by sending appropriate control codes, or by pressing keys on the control panel. Control codes offer more versatility, and they override control panel settings.

This chapter explains how to use the control panel.

Chapter 3 provides information about control codes.

sent from the host.

Page 23

LinePrinter Plus Menu

Font Attributes

This submenu allows you to define the following font attributes: typeface, bold print, and italic print. You can also specify if the ASCII character will print with the OCRB mode. Also, specify if the zero character will print with a slash.

When High Density is enabled, the LQ Typeface will print in higher print density. It will not take effect when other typefaces are selected.

Text position specifies where the text will be positioned in the line space. When set to Top of Line, text will be positioned at the top of the line space. When set to Bottom of Line, the text will be positioned as if it were at the bottom of a 6 lpi line space. The following example shows both Top of Line and Bottom of Line text positions:

Dot

The option “DBCS/ASCII Mode” specifies the operating mode of the Hangul printer. If it is set to DBCS mode, it can print double-byte characters as well as a limited number of single-byte characters.

The option “Address Table” specifies the address table supported: KSC5601.

The option “UTF8” allows the user to input UTF8 data stream.

The option “Taller 15cpi” specifies the appearance of ASCII character in 15cpi in Ascii mode. If it is set to “Enable”, the characters in 15cpi will be the same height with other CPIs like 10cpi. If it is set to “Disable”, the characters in 15cpi will appear shorter than other CPIs like 10cpi.

The option “Horizontal Expnd” specifies the character horizontal expansion in dot for both ASCII and DBCS characters in DBCS mode.

The option “Vertical Expnd” specifies the character vertical expansion in dot for both ASCII and DBCS characters in DBCS mode.

Graphics Spd Up

This menu is used to increase (speed up) graphic printing speed by turning on the Enhanced/Turbo mode.

• Normal. The default. The printer prints at the given input graphics

resolution.

• Enhanced. The printer provides first-level speed up, which means the

speed is faster than Normal mode.

Page 24

Chapter 2 The Configuration Menu

• Turbo. The printer provides second-level speed up, which means the

speed is faster than Enhanced mode.

• Match Typeface. The input 180x180 dpi grahics resolution will drop-dot

to the resolution which matches the typeface selected.

Page Format

Form Length

Forms length is the number of lines that can be printed on a page. You can set forms length in inches or in print lines per page. The most accurate method is lines per page.

Form Width

When using paper that is 8 1/2 inches wide, selecting an 8-inch print width prevents printing beyond the right margin and damaging the hammer tips and platen.

Margins

You can set the bottom, left, and right form margins.

Perforation Skip

Perforation Skip allows or prevents printing on the page perforation. When enabled, it sets up a skip-over margin of 1/2,” 2/3,” 5/6,” or 1.” For example, a skip-over margin of 1” allows a 1” margin at the bottom of the page perforation. The default is Disable.

Reset Cmd CFG Ld

When the printer receives a host data stream reset command (ESC @ in addition to resetting printer variables, the selected configuration will be loaded.

• Disable. The default. The active emulation parameters are loaded when

the reset command is executed.

• Power-Up Config. The power-up configuration is loaded when the reset

command is executed.

• Current Config. The currently selected configuration is loaded when the

reset command is executed.

• Factory Config. The factory installed configuration is loaded when the

reset command is executed.

Error Handling of Illegal Code Point

This command determines the way illegal DBCS characters are processed:

• Normal. The default. Will ignore illegal DBCS characters.

• As Space. Will insert two space characters (0X20, 0X20) when the data

stream contains error DBCS coding.

Chapter 2 The Configuration Menu

Define CR Code

The Define CR code option controls the action of the printer when it receives a Carriage Return code (hex 0D) from the host computer. If this feature is enabled, each time the printer receives a Carriage Return, it inserts an additional Line Feed code (hex 0A) into the data stream. Do not use this feature if the host computer sends Line Feeds to the printer.

• CR = CR. Does not insert an extra Line Feed after each Carriage Return.

• CR = CR + LF. Inserts an extra Line Feed after each Carriage Return.

Auto LF

This option defines the printer actions when print data is received past the forms width setting.

• Enable. Performs an automatic carriage return and line feed when data is

received past the forms width.

• Disable. Discards any data past the forms width.

Define LF Code

The Define LF code option controls the action of the printer when it receives a Line Feed code (hex 0A) from the host computer. If this feature is enabled, each time the printer receives a Line Feed, it inserts an additional Carriage Return code (hex 0D) into the data stream. This feature can be used in most installations, but it is required if the host computer does not send Carriage Returns to the printer.

• LF = CR + LF. Adds an extra Carriage Return with each Line Feed.

• LF = LF. Does not add a Carriage Return with a Line Feed.

Printer Select

• Disable. Ignores the ASCII DC1 and DC3 control codes.

• Enable. Disables the printer when a DC1 control code is received, and

enables the printer when a DC3 control code is received.

20 CPI Condensed

Compressed print characters are narrower than the normal character set. This is helpful for applications for which you need to print the maximum amount of information on a page.

• Enable. Prints about 60 percent of the width of normal characters when

compressed print is chosen by the host computer. For example, a 12 cpi font will compress to 20 cpi.

• Disable. Does not compress print widths, even if condensed print is

chosen by the host.

Alt. Set 80-9F

• Control Code. Interprets data in the range of hex 80 through hex 9F as a

control code.

• Printable. Prints data in the range of hex 80 through hex 9F.

Escape Sequences

Some KS control codes consisting of more than one character are called escape sequences because the first character in the sequence is the ASCII ESCape character. ESC alerts the printer that a special function command— not printable characters—follows.

The format for an escape sequence is:

ESC (parameter 1)(parameter 2)...(parameter

For example, to select emphasized (offset) print, send the ESC character immediately followed by the E character (do not add a space character):

ASCII: ESC E Hex: 1B 45Dec: 27 69

)

FS Sequences

Another type of control code which consists of more than one character is called an “FS sequence,” because the first character is the ASCII FS character. This control code is used when the printer is printing Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) characters. The FS alerts the printer that a special function command (not printable characters) follows. Most FS commands work only on DBCS characters.

The format for an FS sequence is:

FS (parameter 1)(parameter 2)...(parameter

For example, to rotate DBCS characters by 90 FS character immediately followed by the J character:

ASCII: FS J Hex: 1C 4ADec: 28 74

)

×counter-clockwise, send an

Set And Reset Codes

Set and reset are other ways of saying turn on and turn off; select and deselect; or enable and disable.

Some printer features are set and reset with an escape sequence and the numbers 1 or 0. In those cases, you can represent 1 and 0 as hexadecimal codes 01 and 00, or as the ASCII codes for the numerals 1 and 0 (hexadecimal 31 and 30).

Configuring The KSSM Emulation With Control Codes

The remainder of this chapter describes the KS printer control language codes that may be sent from a host computer attached to the printer in order to invoke and configure numerous KS emulation functions.

Format For Control Code Descriptions

The following information is listed for each code (where applicable and possible) in this chapter:

ASCII Mnemonic. The ASCII name for the control code.

Hex Code. The hexadecimal equivalent of the code. (For octal equivalents,

refer to Appendix A.)

Dec Code. The decimal equivalent of the code.

Purpose. The function(s) of the control code.

Comment. A description of exceptions or limitations to normal use.

Example. A sample is provided for some control codes to illustrate how the

code is used.

Font Expansion

ASCII Code ASSC 0 e n1 n2

Hex Code ASSC 30 65 n1 n2

Dec Code ASSC 48 101 n1 n2

Purpose Expand the DBCS character up to the size of 72.

For this command to work, n1 must be the same value as n2 (i.e. n1 = n2). When n1 and n2 = 25 to 72, this set font expansion mode is ON. The value of n1 and n2 will determine the bitmap size. For example, if the size of n1 is 50, then the size of the bitmap will be set to 50x50. For n1 and n2 = 24, the font expansion mode will reset to OFF and the bitmap size reverts to the default, 24x24.

Inter-line spacing and inter-character spacing calculations are based on standard setting as if bitmap is 24x24. This command will only increase the size of the bitmap and not affect intercharacter spacing or inter-line spacing. For example, if interline spacing is 6 dot rows, when the bitmap is expanded from 24x24 to 72x72, the inter-line spacing still remains as 6 dot rows. This is the same for inter-character spacing.

Other commands, such as double height, double width, 2x2 times, left/right margin etc., will not function when font expansion mode is set on. For different typefaces, the characters will expand based on approximate typeface resolution. All commands affecting LPI and CPI will still take effect and is set based on the bitmap being 24x24.

Where: n1 = 24 ~ 72 n2 = 24 ~ 72

This control code does not function while in non-DBCS mode.

Tab Horizontally

ASCII Code HT

Hex Code 09

Dec Code 09

Purpose Moves the horizontal print position to the next tab to the right of

the current print position.

Comment The printer ignores this command if no tab is set to the right of

the current position or if the next tab is to the right of the right margin.

Character scoring (underline, overscore, and strike through) is not printed between the current print position and the next tab when this command is sent.

In DBCS mode, the command takes effect in double byte character setting.

Tab Vertically

ASCII Code VT

Hex Code 0B

Dec Code 11

Purpose Moves the vertical print position to the next vertical below the

current print position.

Moves the horizontal print position to the left-margin position.

Comment The printer advances to the top-margin position of the following

page if the next tab is below the bottom-margin position or if no tab is set below the current position.

The VT command functions the same as a CR command (moves the horizontal print position to the left-margin position) if all tabs have been cancelled with the ESC B NUL command.

The VT command functions the same as an LF command (advances one line in the current line spacing and moves the horizontal print position to the left-margin position) if no tabs have been set since the printer was turned on or was reset with the ESC@ command.

The VT command functions the same as an FF command (advances to the top-margin position on the next page) if some tabs have been set, but no tab is set between the current print position and the bottom-margin position.

This command cancels double-width printing set with the SO, ESC SO, or FS SO commands.
