PART 1 INSTALLATION
1.1 Precautions
(1) The printer is to be used free-standing and should be placed on a stable surface providing easy
access to the control panel and to the paper well when the lid is open.
(2) Do not site the printer in an excessively hot or humid location. Exposure to grease, dust, metal
swarf or liquids is best avoided.
(3) When using the power adapter avoid using a mains outlet which also supplies heavy switching
machinery since a noisy supply may impair printer operation.
(4) Ensure that the adapter provides the correct operating voltage. Refer to section 3.5 for supply
details.
(5) Care must be taken to ensure that any power adapter supplied by the customer meets with
national safety requirements and has the correct output voltage and polarity. The manufacturer
has no responsibility for equipment operating outside these parameters.
(6) Do not remove paper by pulling it from the back of the mechanism and do not pull excessive
lengths through the top of the mechanism. Either of these operations may cause paper to tear and
jam the mechanism.
1.2 Default Settings
The 1000 printer is supplied with the following default settings:
Data/Parity 8/None
Xon/Xoff On
Parity None (Not shown for Parallel Interface)
Baud Rate 9600 (Not shown for Parallel Interface)
Character Set UK
Print Mode Text
Auto-Off 5 minutes
Emulation Standard
DTR Normal
Interface Serial or Parallel
Mechanism As applicable
Default settings can be restored by pressing both the feed and programme switches together at
power up. Releasing the feed button before the programme button will set original defaults.
See section 1.5 to change the above parameters.
1.3 Self-Test
To perform a self-test press the power “ON” and “FEED” switch simultaneously and keep them
depressed until the test starts. This will check all the mechanics, and a large proportion of the
software and hardware without the need for connection to a host. The software issue is printed
in double height, double width text, followed by the character set in normal text. Below this are
listed the current settings of the user selectable options. If the settings are correct for your host,
Document No : DS8078 Issue : J Page 6
you are ready to connect the printer to your system. Otherwise you will need to reprogramme the
printer as described in section 1.5. The self test will be repeated until the power is switched off.
Normal operation is resumed after power-on.
Note: The parity and baud rate settings are not printed on the parallel version.
1.4 Interface Connections
The 1000 printers are available with a Centronics Parallel or RS232 Serial interface. The
interface type is printed on the self-test slip.
The connector is a 25 way D plug for Parallel and a 25 way D socket for Serial.

Note that on some models, internal links have been factory set in order to allow power input via
the serial D25. In these instances power will either be on:
pins 8, 9: GND OR pins 14,15: GND
pins 12,13: power in pins 16,17: power in
in either case a grommet must be present in the normal power jack input to prevent a short in the
supply and protect against static discharge. Such models are supplied with the grommet fitted
and it should never be removed.

1.5 Programme Mode
On the front of the unit there is a power-on indicator and four switches which are labelled as
shown below.
If the programme (set-up) switch is pressed at power up (i.e. programme switch and power-on
switch together) then the printer will go into set-up mode and print the current parameter status.
Example : Number of data bits : 8 bit data.
The power-on indicator will flash every second to indicate programme mode.
Each time the feed switch is pressed and released the next printer parameter is printed. Pressing
the programme switch will cause the status of that parameter to change in the sequence shown.
Each status table rotates so 300 baud follows on from 19200 baud and so on.
Once the correct status has been selected then both the programme switch and the feed switch
should be pressed simultaneously to update the printer’s status. Note that this need only be done
when all parameters that need changing have been selected. If no switches are pressed for 15
seconds the set-up mode is automatically terminated without changing the original parameters.

An alternative method is to send the "set up" data via the RS232 port to prevent the need for manual
programming.
Setup via Data Interface
If the 1000 is turned on whilst both the programme and feed switches are pressed and only the
programme switch is released, the 1000 will print:-
"NVR COMMS READY>"
At this point the printer is waiting to receive data in the following format:-
"PROGMODE" + CARRIAGE RETURN + n1 + ....n10 (n1 to n10 are hex numbers)
The "PROGMODE" followed by a carriage return indicates that the printer should expect
parameter data as shown in Table 1 below.
Note: The data sent to reprogramme the printer is always expected at 9600 baud, 8 data bits,
no parity, irrespective of any of the existing printer settings.
Upon receiving information in the correct format the 1000 will print:-
"DATA OK, NVR UPDATED!"
If the data received is not in the correct format then the 1000 will print:-
"DATA ERROR NVR UNCHANGED"
Note: If no data is received within 15 seconds or the feed key is released before the procedure
is complete, then the change of parameters will not take place and the 1000 will print:-
"SET ERROR NVR UNCHANGED"

Document No : DS8078 Issue : J Page 14
1.6 Troubleshooting
(1) The power light does not come on when the unit is switched on.
Check the batteries are sufficiently charged or that the power adapter is connected correctly. If
the power resource is satisfactory and the LED still does not illuminate when the power is
switched on, refer the unit for repair.
(2) The power light comes on but the printer does not feed paper.
This is a head jam condition. Check that there is no paper jammed in the mechanism.
(3) The paper is not feeding properly.
If the print looks squashed, check that the paper roll is sitting correctly in the paper well and that
the roll is the right way up. The paper should be feeding off the bottom of the roll into the back
of the mechanism, NOT off the top of the roll. Remove paper and reload if necessary.
(4) No print on the paper.
If the printer is working but no print is visible, check that the ribbon is present and not
excessively worn and that it is freely moving round the cartridge. Wind the ribbon on manually
then feed paper while the lid is open to check the cassette knob is rotating. Also check that the
ribbon has been fitted correctly and that the exposed ribbon is in front of the paper.
(5) The printer does self-test but does not print data sent through the interface.
Check interface connections are correct. (See section 1.4).
(6) The printer prints '*' in place of the transmitted characters or it does not action commands.
Check handshaking line, parity setting and baud-rate.
If a command is not carried out by the printer, it is possible to check for an incorrect control code
or character by initiating diagnostic mode.
Diagnostic Mode reveals control codes and characters sent to the printer. Characters 00H to 1FH
are translated to characters 40H to 5FH and underlined to indicate a control character.
EXAMPLE: HORIZONTAL TAB (O9H) = CTRL I Printed as I
CARRIAGE RETURN (ODH)= CTRL M Printed as M
Normal characters are not underlined.
Document No : DS8078 Issue : J Page 15
1.61 Diagnostic Mode
To enter diagnostic mode initiate self-test and keep the feed switch depressed until
'DIAGNOSTIC MODE' is printed. The power-on indicator will flash every two seconds.
An example of diagnostic mode is as follows :
ABC DE FG ... Normal Print
ABCIDE UFXGM ... Diagnostic Print Out
In the example the following sequence of characters was sent:
Characters ABC, horizontal tab (I), characters DE, space, underline (U)
character F, release underline (X) character G, carriage return (M).
A list of valid control characters is shown in section 3.2.
To reveal the complete information sent, press the feed switch. To terminate diagnostic mode,
switch off and on again to resume normal operation.

PART 2 OPERATOR’S GUIDE
Operation
- DO read the operating instructions carefully before you attempt to use the printer.
- DO ensure that any electrical connections are properly made in accordance with the instructions.
- DO NOT remove any fixed covers unless you are qualified to do so - and even then switch off
first and disconnect the power adapter from the socket before you start.
- DO NOT continue to operate the printer if you have any doubt about it working normally, or if
it is damaged in any way. Refer the unit for repair.
2.1 Power-On Procedure
Check the batteries are sufficiently charged or that the power adapter is connected correctly.
Open the lid and check that paper and ribbon are present and that there are no foreign objects
inside the paper well or mechanism.
Close the lid, ensuring the paper is guided out through the paper exit slot.
Switch on the printer by pressing the symbol marked '1' on the switch panel.
The power-on indicator will light and the mechanism will reset. If this does not happen refer to
section 1.6.
2.2 Paper Loading
If the paper roll needs replacing adhere to the following procedure.
Open the lid and remove the old paper, taking care not to pull the paper out of the back of the
mechanism. Press the feed switch until any excess paper left in the mechanism is fed out.
Reel off a few centimetres from a new paper roll and ensure that the paper end is square.
Sit the roll in the paper well with the paper end coming from the bottom of the roll.
Offer the paper into the back of the mechanism and press the feed switch. Keep the switch
depressed until enough paper is fed through the mechanism to be inserted through the paper exit
slot.
Feed the paper through the exit slot and close the lid.
Document No : DS8078 Issue : J Page 18
2.3 Ribbon Change
Ensure the power is off and open the lid. The legend on the cassette gives an instruction (PUSH)
to remove the old ribbon. The cassette will clip off one side and can easily be removed.
Take a new ribbon and check it is taut. Clip it into position making sure that the paper protruding
from the top of the mechanism is located between the exposed ribbon and the plastic cassette.
Wind the knob a few turns in the direction shown on the cassette to take up any slack in the
ribbon.
Close the lid.
2.4 Paper Feed
Check the power is on.
For a single line paper feed, press and release the “Feed” switch. For continuous line feed keep
the switch depressed.
NOTE: The power indicator will turn off when the feed switch is depressed.
2.5 Care Of the Printer
Periodic cleaning will help to keep your printer in good condition.
IMPORTANT: Switch the printer off and disconnect the power adapter before any cleaning
operation.
Use a soft brush to remove any dust or foreign particles from the paper well and mechanism. The
case may be cleaned with a soft cloth slightly dampened with alcohol. Be careful not to let any
liquid enter the printer enclosure.
Do not use the printer if liquid or metal objects have entered the unit. If this happens whilst the
printer is in use, switch off immediately and have it serviced.
If the printer is not going to be used for some time disconnect the power adapter and ensure the
unit is switched off.
Do not continue printing with a worn ribbon, since this will eventually fray and may damage the
print head.
Do not leave the printer powered up if it is malfunctioning.
NOTE: To conserve the battery power ensure that the unit is set at 1 or 5 minute auto
off. (See section 1.5)

3.2 Command Description For The 1000 Printer
TAB (09H) Tab stops occur at every 8th column. On receipt of this
command, spaces are entered into the line up to the next tab
stop.
LINE FEED (0AH) Prints the current line and feeds one line. If LF and CR are
sent, the CR is ignored to avoid a double feed.
FORM FEED (0BH) Will feed 4 fast line feeds.
VERTICAL TAB (0CH,n) Fast feeds the paper by n lines where n is a single byte hex
number in the range 0 < n < 63. Note that a vertical tab will
print the contents of the line buffer before being executed.
CR (0DH) Prints the current line and feeds one line. If CR and LF are
sent, the LF is ignored to avoid a double feed.
On the receipt of the last printable character (e.g. 24 characters
for the 1012), the printer will automatically print the data in the
buffer. If CR and LF are sent after this condition, they will be
ignored.
DOUBLE WIDTH (0EH) Turns double width printing on. This state continues until
terminated by the single width command or completion of the
current line.
If the last character in the line buffer is double width, but there
is only room for a single width character, then it will be printed
in single width.
SINGLE WIDTH (0FH) Reverts to single width printing. Single and double width can
be combined anywhere on a line.
RESET (11H) Causes printer status reset. Printer status is set to single width,
normal height, no underline. Note that the buffer remains
unaltered to avoid any data loss.
UNDERLINE (15H) Characters sent after this command will be underlined. Tabs
are not underlined. Underlining is terminated by the U/L
release command or on completion of the current line.
U/L RELEASE (18H) Terminates underlining.
REVERSE PRINT(19H) This command sets the print to white on black. The command
will toggle between reverse and normal print wherever it
appears on a line, but the condition is always reset at the end of
the line.
Document No : DS8078 Issue : J Page 21
DOUBLE HEIGHT (1AH) Prints the line in double height for one line only. Double height
and single height cannot be mixed on the same line.
GRAPHICS (1BH,n) Graphics command to enter bit image printing. The number of
graphic bytes sent will depend on the type of printer. (eg 24 for
a 1012, 40 for a 1014.) For each graphic byte sent, 6 bits out of
8 are used to build the graphics string (LSB as the right most
dot) and 'n' is the number of times the string sent will be
repeated for a repetitive pattern. The value of 'n' is limited to a
maximum of 63 lines. The print buffer will be printed first if
not empty.
Examples:
To repeat a string of data bytes, d1....d24 over two rows with
a 1012 printer, send : 1BH, 02H, d1....d24.
For a non-repeated string send : 1BH, 01H, d1....d24.
Document No : DS8078 Issue : J Page 22
3.3 Epson ESC/POS Command Description
TAB (09H) Tab stops occur at every 8th column. On receipt of this
command, spaces are entered into the line up to the next tab
stop.
LINE FEED (0AH) Prints the current line and feeds one line. If LF and CR are
sent, the CR is ignored to avoid a double feed.
FORM FEED (0CH) Prints the current line and feeds the number of lines determined
by using the ESC C command.
CR (0DH) Prints the current line and feeds one line. If CR and LF are
sent, the LF is ignored to avoid a double feed.
ESC ! n (1BH,21H,n) Sets the print mode according to the following table and n is a
single byte in which each bit sets the printing function. Note
that underlines cannot be used with a horizontal tab and any
combination of double height and width can be used. Double
and single height cannot be mixed on a line, however, whereas
double and single width can be mixed anywhere on a line.
Default is n = 0.

ESC d n (1B,64H,n) Prints the data in the print buffer and performs n line feeds.
ESC v (1BH,76H) Status request. The current printer status is transmitted to the
host computer on receipt of this command. It takes the form of
a single byte which is fixed at 0 (to indicate paper in) for the
1000 printer. The byte is sent regardless of the CTS
handshaking signal.
ESC { n (1BH,7BH,n) Inverted print command. When n = 1 then print is inverted and
text will be printed from right to left. For normal print n = 0.
The default mode is set by the programmed parameters in the
printer.
ESC C n (1BH,43H,n) Set form length. When used in conjunction with the form feed
command (0CH), the printer will feed n lines. Note that if n =
0 then there will be no line feeds. The default value is n = 0.

3.4 Command Description For The 1000 Printer With 560 Emulation
LINE FEED (0AH) Prints the current line and feeds one line. If LF and CR are
sent, the CR is ignored to avoid a double feed.
FORM FEED (0CH) Will feed 4 fast line feeds.
CR (0DH) Prints the current line and feeds one line. If CR and LF are
sent, the LF is ignored to avoid a double feed.
On the receipt of the last printable character (eg 24 characters
for the 1012), the printer will automatically print the data in the
buffer. If CR and LF are sent after this condition, they will be
ignored.
REVERSE PRINT (14H) This command sets the print to white on black. The command
will toggle between reverse and normal print wherever it
appears on a line but the condition is always reset at the end of
the line.
CLEAR BUFFER (18H) Clears the print data in the buffer. All the previous input data
is cleared with this code. However, in the case of graphic print
mode, this code is treated as data.
DOUBLE WIDTH (1EH) Turns double width printing on. This state continues until
terminated by the single width command or completion of the
current line.
If the last character in the line buffer is double width, but there
is only room for a single width character, then it will be printed
in single width.
SINGLE WIDTH (1FH) Reverts to single width printing. Single and double width can
be combined anywhere on a line.
NOTE :- 560 GRAPHICS COMMAND
ESC K n1, n2, (1BH,4BH n1, n2)
This command requires special note because all associated data will be ignored. The number of
graphics bytes determined by n1 and n2, will be received but discarded so as not to appear as
erroneous text.
Note that n1 can only be up to 240 and n2 will be read as zero as the 560 only allows printing
of 240 graphics bytes. If more than 240 graphics characters are sent, then the balance will be
interpreted as non-graphic data.
