TH210 Programmer’s Guide
Diagnostics and Configuration
The printer performs a number of diagnostics that provide useful information about the operating status of the printer. The following diagnostic tests are available.
Start-up diagnostics
Perform during the printer’s start-up cycle.
Runtime diagnostics
Perform during normal printer operation.
Remote diagnostics
Maintained during normal operation and reported in the print test.
The printer can be configured with the following settings and functions through the
configuration menu that is printed on the receipt. For more information on configuring the printer, see “Printer configuration” on page xx.
Communication interfaces Diagnostic modes Printer emulations/software options Hardware options Firmware features
Start-up Diagnostics
When the printer receives power or performs a hardware reset, it automatically performs the startup diagnostics (also known as level 0 diagnostics) during the start-up cycle. The following diagnostics are performed:
Turn off motors Perform boot CRC check of the firmware ROM and test main program CRC Failure causes Start-up Diagnostics to stop; the printer beeps and the LED flashes a
set number of times, indicating the nature of the failure. The table in the “Indicators” section (page 14) describes the specific tone and LED sequences.
Check if paper is present Return the knife to the home position Failure causes a fault condition. The table in the “Indicators” section (page 14)
describes the specific tone and LED sequences.
Check if receipt cover is closed Failure does not interrupt the start-up cycle.
At power up, if the LED blinks twice, every four seconds, the object storage areas are being initialized. This process could take up to two minutes. Once the object storage area initialization is complete the printer will continue with its normal startup procedure and operation. DO NOT RESET THE PRINTER UNTIL THIS PROCESS IS COMPLETE. When the start-up diagnostics are complete, the printer makes a two-tone beep (low then high frequency), the paper feed button is enabled, and the printer is ready for normal operation.

If the printer has not been turned on before, or a new EEPROM has been installed, the default values for the printer functions will be loaded into the EEPROM during start-up diagnostics, and the printer will make a quick four-tone beep (high then low frequency, twice).
Runtime Diagnostics
Runtime diagnostics (sometimes called level 2 diagnostics) run during normal printer operation. When the following conditions occur, the printer automatically turns off the appropriate motors and disables printing to prevent damage to the printer:
Paper out Receipt cover open Knife unable to home Printhead too hot Voltages out of range
The LED on the operator panel will signal when these conditions occur as well as indicate what state or mode the printer is in.
Remote Diagnostics
Remote diagnostics (sometimes called level 3 diagnostics) keeps track of the following tallies and prints them on the receipt during the print test. See the sample test printout on the next page. These tallies can be used to determine the printer’s state of health.

Programming the Printer
Overview of commands
Commands control all operations and functions of the printer. This includes selecting the size and placement of characters and graphics on the receipt to feeding and cutting the paper. The programming commands have been organized, in order of hexadecimal code within functional groups. For this reason, “related” commands may not be listed adjacent to one another. The operation of various printers may be emulated by the commands, including the following:
Native A793/A794 LEGACY
Any of the commands may be used in any combination to program a host computer to communicate with the printer (unless otherwise noted). Some commands listed and described here may not be implemented and are identified as “not implemented.” If received, they are ignored and not sent to the print buffer as data. Any nonlegal commands have their parameter sent to the print buffer as data.
Comparison to A793
The following table details the list of commands whose behavior differs between the A793, A794, and TH210 because of the physical differences of a 6 dots/mm head (A793) versus an 8 dots/mm head (A794 and TH210).

Note: The application centers 44 standard character cells (13 X 24 dots), or 56 compressed character cells (10 X 24 dots), or 576 addressable bits of graphics across an 80mm wide receipt. Minimum print line height is 24 dots for text or graphics. Standard print line spacing is 27 dots (i.e., 3 extra row dots). The TH210 Series adds a 27 dot high font, so standard print spacing is 30 dots. The TH210 Series paper-saving feature adds a 18 dot high font and reduces extra dot rows to 2, so standard print spacing is 20 dots.
Rotated printing commands
Three commands control the rotation of printing. The table shows the combinations of set/cancel upside down print, set/ cancel rotated print (clockwise), and rotated print (counterclockwise). Rotated clockwise and rotated counterclockwise print commands are mutually exclusive: the setting of the last received command is effective. Unintended consequences may result when rotated clockwise is mixed with other commands The samples of the print show only the normal-size characters.

Emulation modes
The Wincor Nixdorf TH210 Series printer may be operated in a number of different emulation modes. However, printing characteristics and defaults may differ, depending on the desired mode.
Print setup in emulation modes
Refer to the chart below for defaults and allowed printing options in each emulation mode.
The following list clarifies how the TH210 printer will behave in each emulation mode:
If only the font is changed, the default LPI will automatically be changed as in the
table above.
If emulation is switched to LEGACY, Native, A794 or A793 emulation(s), the font and
LPI will be automatically changed as in the table above.
If emulation is switched from any emulation to native, the font and LPI will remain
unchanged because the Native mode supports all font and LPI options offered in the emulation modes.
The “Set Default LPI” option in the configuration menu is not offered in LEGACY
emulation mode. The LPI is set at 6.00.

Resetting the printer Cutting the paper Opening the cash drawers
Clear printer
Clears the print line buffer without printing and sets the printer to the following condition:
Double-wide command (0x12) is cancelled Line spacing, pitch, and user-defined character sets are maintained at current
selections (RAM is not affected)
Single-wide, single-high, non-rotated, and left-aligned characters are set Printing position is set to column one

Perform full knife cut
Cuts the receipt. There are two codes (Hex 19 or 1B 69) for this command and both perform the same function.
Exceptions
The full cut is replaced by a partial cut in the A793 emulation. ASCII EM, (0x19) is ignored in LEGACY emulation. Line feed is executed first, if the buffer is not empty.
Perform partial knife cut
Partially cuts the receipt. The default setting leaves 5mm (0.20 inch) of paper on the left edge. (See setting partial cut distance in diagnostics.) There are two codes (Hex 1A or 1B 6D) for this command and both codes perform the same function.
Formulas
The cut edge is 144 dot rows or 18 mm (0.71 inch) above the print station.
Exceptions
The command is valid only at the beginning of a line. ASCII SUB, (0x1A), is ignored in LEGACY emulation. Line feed is executed first, if the buffer is not empty.
Generate tone
Generates an audible tone. Perform by the printer to signal certain conditions.

Other bits of n (1–7) are undefined and ignored. When the printer is disabled by this command, it ignores transmitted data until the printer is re­enabled by the same command.
Initialize printer
Clears the print line buffer and resets the printer to the default settings for the start-up configuration (refer to Default settings above). Data in the receive buffer is not cleared, and printing position moves to the beginning of the line. Single-wide, single-high, non-rotated, and left-aligned characters are set, and user-defined characters or logo graphics are cleared. (Flash memory and macros are not affected.) Tabs reset to default. Receipt selection state is selected. Barcode settings reset. Page mode settings are cleared and printer is set to standard mode. ASB is switched off.
Select sensors to stop printing
Bits 5 and & are not used.
Determines which sensor stops printing on the respective station. The command does not affect the paper out status on the receipt station, which will automatically stop the printer when the paper is depleted.
