Safety Regulations Electromagnetic Compatibility

The printer PP 405 fulfils the safety regulations according to UL 1950 and
VDE (IEC 950) and CNA/CSA C22.2 / No. 950 for computer systems.

The mains cable must be connected to a ground protected wall-socket. The
selected voltage of the printer needs to agree with the local voltage.

The power plug must be easily accessible at any time so that it can be
disconnected immediately in case of danger or for maintenance purposes..

Comme le câble de secteur sert de dipositif d'arrêt-urgence, sa connexion à
l'imprimante doit être tout le temps accessible.

Before installing the printer, check the surrounding conditions in which the
printer will be placed (see next page, Operating Environment and chapter 1).

During a thunderstorm you should never attempt to connect or disconnect any
data transfer cables.

The power supply should only be opened and checked by authorized personnel.
Repairs and maintenance beyond the descriptions of chapter 4 Maintenance
may only be attempted by authorized personnel as well. Repairs done
inappropriately may cause damage and severe danger for the user.

There is a warning symbol to draw the user's attention to possible injuries:

This symbol is visible when the top cover has been
opened. It indicates that the print head is extremely
hot after long periods of printing.

Ce signal de danger se présente quand le cache
supérieur de l’imprimante soit retiré pour indiquer
que la tête d’impression peut être extrèmement
chaude après imprimer très longtemps.

We certify that the equipment at issue,

2. Printer Operation

2.1 Control Panel

The control panel

- controls the set-up for communication with the host computer

- controls various parameter settings

- allows manual control of the paper handling

- gives information about the printer's status.

The 16-character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) (51) indicates the current
status of the printer. If an error occurs (e.g. COVER OPEN), the resulting error
message overrides any other displayed message. When the error condition not
longer exists, the original status information appears on the display.

The green Power ON indicator (53) is lit when the printer is supplied with
power by setting the power ON/OFF switch to ON.

The yellow STOP indicator (52) is lit when the printer is in the STOP mode.

The printer enters the STOP mode either when (93) is pressed or when an
error condition occurs such as NO PAPER, COVER OPEN, etc.

2.2 Function Keys

The function keys of the operator panel are grouped into two rows. The function
of a key depends on the printer operation state. Following operation states are
possible:

- READY or BUSY

- LOCAL

2.2.1 Short Description of Keys

If you press one of the above described key erroneously, press for
correction.

Note: Macro selection means a change of all configuration parameters of the

macro concerned.

- Lower Row Keys

In case a certain application requires a specific vertical positioning of the
printout on a continuous form, two possibilities are provided for the READY or
BUSY mode:

- vertical position adjustment VERT.POS.ADJ. with key (90)

- fanfold displacement FANFOLD DIS with key (91).

- Vertical Position Adjustment (VERT.POS.ADJ.) (90)
This can be set differently for each macro to exactly position the printout in
relation to the top edge of the form in use. Using this function, the TOP
MARGIN and BOTTOM MARGIN settings are taken into account as well.

The parameter is part of the printer´s configuration set up memory and can
be stored with the SAVE function.

The VERT. POS.ADJ. mode can directly be called up in the status READY
or BUSY by pressing key . In this case a set up is possible for the
actually paper source of the selected macro. With TRACTOR V,
MANUAL V or BIN x V (x = 1-3) the printer asks for the value of the
actually paper source.

The reference point for the measurement of the paper thickness is the

is 24 (= ink ribbon exchange position), any position from 4 to 131 (at 10
cpi) can be selected.
An adjustment of the AGC Position is only necessary if a measurement at
the default position does not reflect the paper thickness of the area to be
printed on or if there is a paper edge (e.g. of a label) in that position (the
measuring process requires a plain paper-surface).
In addition to the automatic AGC function, random measurements of the

order to increase the lifetime of the colour ribbon. The colour option does not
have to be removed when printing with a black ribbon.

To Install the Colour Option

- Switch the printer ON

- Lift the top cover (2) as shown in the illustration.

- Remove the black ink ribbon cassette (11).

- Switch the printer OFF.

Caution:The print head may be very hot immediately after printing.

Appendix A System Interface Description 1. Serial Interface RS-232C / RS-422

There are two system interfaces:

- one serial interface with RS-232C or RS-422 support

- one Parallel Centronics interface.

The interfaces can be operated in four different modes:

- serial interface active with RS-232C

- parallel interface active

- both interfaces active in shared mode with serial RS-232C

- both interfaces active in shared mode with serial RS-422

The following chapter gives an overview about interface characteristics, control
signals, protocols, and cabling.

Any change to the operation mode (Serial, Parallel or Shared) and to the size of
the interface buffer is possible only when the interface buffer is completely
empty of data.

Display messages: READY 1 ELQ, BUSY 1 ELQ, LOCAL.

2. Transmission Protocols and Connection Diagrams - Version 2 - Connection full Duplex Transfer Mode

2.1 DTR - Ready/Busy to control the transmission of data from the host to prevent a buffer

(Supported RS-232C Protocols) - Full Duplex Local Connection overflow.

This protocol uses the following signal lines:

- Pin 1 Protective Ground (PG)

- 2 Transmit Data (TXD) (with internal Pull-up)

- 3 Receive Data (RXD) (with internal Pull-up)

- 5 Clear to Send (CTS)

- 7 Signal Ground (SG)

- 20 Data Terminal Ready (DTR)

Note: - The signal lines TXD (pin 2) and CTS (pin 5) are only necessary if the

Device Status Report is required (see picture "Connection for
Unidirectional Transfer Mode").

- Version 1 - Connection for Unidirectional Transfer Mode

In the unidirectional mode, the local connection of the printer uses the
READY / BUSY line 108.2 protocol.

The READY / BUSY DTR protocol uses the DATA TERMINAL READY line

- Version 3 - PC Connection for full Duplex Transfer Mode

Additional Information

After Power-ON DTR is activated and the printer is ready to receive data.

DTR is deactivated when the interface buffer has only space left only for 256
more characters. Further incoming data will be stored until the interface buffer
is full. All data sent in addition will get lost. DTR is activated again if there is a
free interface buffer space of 512 characters.

DTR is immediately deactivated, if local mode is entered.

It is activated again, if local mode is left and a minimum of 512 bytes interface
buffer is available.

2.2 XON / XOFF

This protocol requires the signal lines.

- Pin 1 Protective Ground (PG) - Pin 5 Clear to Send (CTS)

- 2 Transmit Data (TXD) - 6 Data Set Ready (DSR)

- 3 Receive Data (RXD) - 7 Signal Ground (SG)

- 4 Request to Send (RTS) - 20 Data Terminal Ready

(DTR)

Standard Connection

For local connections RTS with CTS can be connected and likewise DTR
with DSR.

Note: Bridge between 4 and 5 means alternative RTS to CTS.

Appendix A System Interface Description Appendix A System Interface Description

A-7 A-8

Additional Information

After Power-ON DTR and RTS are activated and the printer is ready to receive
data.

XOFF is sent, when the interface buffer has only space left for 256 more charac­ters. XOFF is sent again, at a level of 128 characters buffer space. Further
incoming data will be stored until the interface buffer is full. All data sent in
addition will get lost.

XON is sent when the interface buffer provides space for a minimum of 512
characters.

XON/XOFF can only be sent successfully when CTS is at active state.
When the CTS Mode is set to "CTS ignore" CTS is allways in the active state.

XOFF will be sent immediately if local mode is entered.

XON is sent again, if local mode is left and a minimum of 512 byte interface

buffer is available.

2.3 Serial Interface with RS-422

This interface typ requires the signal lines.

remains active until the printer enters the online state again.

- Maximal Transfer Speed

The maximum throughput for data transfer is 5,000 characters per second.

3.1 Transmission Protocol Description

After Power-ON the PE (Paper End) signal is set to logic 0 and the SELECT and
¯¯¯¯¯FAULT signals are set to logic 1.

The printer is now ON-LINE and ready to receive data.

Timing

The host sets a print/control character to the 8 data lines.

After a time delay of a minimum of 0.5 µs, the host sends a ¯¯¯¯¯¯STROBE pulse of a
minimum of 0.5 µs. The print/control character is accepted into the interface
buffer and the printer transmits a BUSY signal to the host. When the data byte
is accepted into the interface buffer the printer transmits a BUSY signal and an

¯¯¯¯ACKN pulse.

The ¯¯¯¯ACKN pulse informs the host that the data has been received and that the
printer is ready to receive new data.

If the interface buffer is full except for the last character the BUSY is not reset in
order to stop the data transfer from the host. The BUSY signal is only reset if
space is available in the interface buffer for a minimum of 256 characters.

When pressing [START/STOP] the BUSY remains high and no ¯¯¯¯ACKN is sent.

Provided a minimum of 256 characters are available in the interface buffer,
pressing [START/STOP] will reset BUSY and transmit the ¯¯¯¯ACKN pulse.

If a byte is first recognized by the parallel interface either the DTR signal of the
serial interface is set to OFF or XOFF is sent, depending on the protocol.

If the serial interface starts to receive data while the parallel interface is active, it
is possible to receive 256 bytes of serial data. Any additional serial data will be
lost.

In the ACK/NAK protocol a data block will be confirmed by a NAK signal.

When the interface buffer is completely empty of serial data, and no new data
has been received by the serial interface for more than 10 seconds, both
interfaces are available for data transfer again.

When the interface buffer is completely empty of parallel data and no data has
been received by the parallel interface for more than 60 seconds, the 256 bytes
of serial data will be processed. Afterwards, both interfaces are available for
data transfer again.

Appendix D Philips General Printer (GP) QUICK REFERENCE

The Philips GP Emulation commands are not supported in the Eastern
European Version for the printer:

PRINTER TYPE 1

PRINTER TYPE 2

PRINTER TYPE 3

Appendix D Philips GP Quick Reference

Appendix E IBM ProPrinter Quick Reference

This appendix contains basic information on the IBM ProPrinter 4207, 4208
XL 24 Emulation commands supported in three Printer types:

PRINTER TYPE 1

PRINTER TYPE 2

PRINTER TYPE 3

Some commands or parameters may be different for a specific PRINTER TYPE.
In those cases it will be indicated to which PRINTER TYPE a command or
parameter applies.

Characters used in control functions appear in monospaced type. Table 1 explains
some of the conventions used.

A pair of numbers separated by a slash ( / ) character indicates Column/Row
notation. This notation refers to the location of a character in a standard code table,
such as ASCII. (example: 1/B = 1B is the hex-code for Escape)

Spaces appear between characters in sequence for clarity; they are not part of the
format.

At the end of this chapter you will find a listing of the IBM ProPrinter Emulation
commands classified by Hex Code and a Hex - Decimal conversion table.

The following conventions are used in the command listings:

Table 1 Conventions

ESC Escape (1/B), introduces an escape sequence

Pn Numeric parameter, or number of units that specify a distance or quantity

pertaining to the escape sequence, control function or control string.
Accepted values are 0...9999, may be preceded by + or -.
If the parameter is in normal notation like "200" the programming in hex-code
is according to a ASCII table. ("200" = 32,30,30 in hex).
If the parameter must be programmed in hex-code the notation is with a
slash. (1/A = 1A in hex-code)

v1...vn A series of parameters pertaining to the escape sequence, control function

or control string.

SP Is standing for Space (hex 20)
