CH1. Programming Reference

In this chapter, the basic concept of SLCS and some information necessary

for the programmer to use SLCS will be explained. Please read this part

before starting programming for efficient and easy use of BIXOLON Label

Printers.

1. Image Buffer Configuration

1) Maximum size

A) When using Double Buffering Function

832dots × 1216dots (104mm × 152mm) = 4 inch × 6 inch

B) When using Single Buffering Function (default)

832dots × 2432dots (104mm × 304mm) = 4 inch × 12 inch

2) Dot size : 0.125mm(W) × 0.125mm(H) (203dpi)

832 dots(104mm = 4inch)

…

1216 dots(152mm = 6inch)

3. Using Peel- Off (Dispenser) function

h

A peeler(liner dispenser) module is available with BIXOLON label printers and the peel-off

function is switched on and off by slide switch which is located in peeler module. The factory

setting is switched off. When the peel-off function is enabled, the next label can not be printed out

until the peeled off label is removed from the dispenser module.

Caution

When the media is inserted in the dispenser, please be careful that the peel-off

sensor is not covered with the label after closing the dispenser. Otherwise the

printer will not start printing. In peel off mode, the printer starts printing just when

the label is not checked by the sensor. If a label is sensed by the peel off sensor, the

printer waits for the label to be removed.

4. LED Displays.

1) When the Green color keeps on,

- Printer is ready to print and is waiting for data reception from host.

2) When the Red color blinks,

A) Cover open error. Printer cover is not closed.

B) Cutter error. Sensor is damaged or jam occurred.

3) When the Orange color blinks,

- Media is not installed in the printer.

4) When the Green color blinks,

A) TPH is over-heated.

B) The printer is starting gap sensor auto-calibration mode.

5) When the Orange color keeps on,

- Auto-sensing failure. The media gap is not detected. That means printer can’t

sense the installed media or paper jam occurred.

6) When the Red color keeps on,

- Printing job is paused by user. Please push feed button to restart print job.

6. Programming Considerations

h

1. All commands are case-sensitive and some commands require one or more
parameters and ‘Data’.

2. Command Conventions
Tp1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6,p7,p8,p9,’TEXT DATA’

Parameters Command Specific Data

Command

3. Each command line must be terminated with a ‘CR’(0Dh, 13). The ‘LF’(0Ah,10) is

ignored.

4. The commands which draw text, barcode, lines… just draw on the image buffer,

they do not print. The printer will start to print when the ‘P’ command shows.

Caution

The ‘P’ command must be terminated by ‘CR’(0x0d). If not, the printer will not start

pint till ‘CR’ shows.
