4 SOFTWARE COMMAND SYNTAX

4.1 Character and bit-image-graphics commands

LF Line feed

(0AH),

(10) decimal

Prints the data in the input buffer in the current character mode and advances the paper
according the selected character height (normal or double height set with commands
ESC+SI and ESC+SO, page 13).

The command is ignored if immediately preceded by a CR.

CR Carriage return

(0DH),

(13) decimal

Prints the data in the input buffer in the current character mode and advances the paper
according the selected character height (normal or double height set with commands
ESC+SI and ESC+SO, page 13).

If the input buffer contains only line space data, line feed is effected. If the buffer contains
no data the printer does not react to this command.

FF Form feed

(0CH),

(12) decimal

Prints the data from the input buffer and feeds the paper to the top of the next page as
specified with command ESC+C+n1+n2 (see page 9

)

.

The TTP 101 is placed in continuous print mode when turned ON or reset (command ESC
@, see page 9). This also sets page length = 0, print lines = 0, and skip lines = 0).

TTP 101 Kiosk Printer – Installation Manual 9708

8

RS Record separate

(1EH),

(30) decimal

Cuts the paper and feeds it until the presenter feed rolls pick up the paper edge.
For other eject lengths, use command combination ESC+RS (page 12) and ESC+FF

(page 10).

SI Shift in

(0FH),

(15) decimal

Resets from double-width mode, set by command SO, to normal width mode. Valid in
double-width mode only.

SO Shift out

(0EH),

(14) decimal

Sets double-width mode. The characters are printed in double width.
Normal-width and double-width characters can be combined on the same print line.
Double-width mode can be combined with double-height mode for printing of "quadruple"

characters.

ENQ Clear presenter and report status

(05H),

(5) decimal

Used to clear the paper path in the presenter, for example, to eject a document not
removed during the previous print/cut/eject operation. Status code ACK is returned as a
result of a successful clearing. Error code NAK+01 means that the clearing failed. Also
see Chapter 6.

CAN Cancel

(18H),

(24) decimal

Cancels any data previously stored in the input buffer. Commands issued on the same
line as the CAN command are not canceled.

9708 TTP 101 Kiosk Printer – Installation Manual 9

ESC+ @ Reset

(1BH)+(40H),

(27)+(64) decimal

Terminates the processing and initializes the control board. The control board is reset to
default values, same as at power ON.

Do not use this command as part of print data command strings.

ESC+C+n1+n2 Set page length

(1BH)+(43H)+n1+n2,

(27)+(67)+n1+n2 decimal

Sets the page length valid in character mode.
A page consists of a printable area followed by a skip area at the bottom of the page. The

printable area equals the page length n1 minus the skip area n2.
The command is ignored if n1 is smaller than n2 or equal to n2.
The printer is put into continuous print mode if n1 = 0.
n1 and n2 must be 1-byte hexadecimal or decimal numbers.
The printer is placed in continuous print mode when turned ON or reset.

ESC + ENQ + 1 Status inquiry

(1BH)+(05H)+(01H),

(27)+(5)+(1) decimal

Status inquiry. Results in response ACK if all sensors are clear, NAK + code if one or
more sensors report fault condition. See Chapter 6

.

Compare with ENQ command which also clears the presenter module.

ESC + ENQ + 2 Status enquiry, paper near end (with serial interface)

(1BH)+(05H)+(02H),

(27)+(5)+(2) decimal

This command requests a paper-near-end sensor (paper low) status from the printer in a
1-byte format.

Value = (00H) indicates ”No paper”
Value = (01H) indicates ”Paper present” at the sensor position

TTP 101 Kiosk Printer – Installation Manual 9708

1

0

ESC + ENQ + 5 Status enquiry, paper near end (with parallel interface)

(1BH)+(05H)+(05H),

(27)+(5)+(5) decimal

This command requests a paper-near-end sensor (paper low) status from the printer in a
1-byte format as follows:

Value = (00H) indicates ”No paper”
Value = (01H) indicates ”Paper present” at the sensor position

ESC + FF + n Eject only

(1BH)+(0CH)+n,

(27)+(12)+n decimal

Usually follows an ESC + RS command.
ESC+FF+n effects ejection of a previously cut-off document out of the presenter module.

Parameter n represents the number of eject steps (maximum = 255), each one of
approximately 2 mm length.

The primary use of this command is to determine if a document is to be fully or partially
ejected (partly retained in the presenter module) or to partially eject a long document
during ongoing processing, also without a preceding cut command.

ESC + f + n Presenter motor drive selection

(1BH)+(66H)+n,

(27)+(102)+n decimal

n = 0 Default value. Presenter motor just catches the leading paper edge. If the

printing continues, the paper will form an increasing loop until printing is
completed.

n = 1 The leading paper edge is ignored by the presenter sensor and the paper is

fed straight through the presenter module. This function can be turned on/off
at any time during an ongoing operation.

ESC + J + n Paper advance

(1BH)+(4AH)+n,

(27)+(74)+n decimal

The value n represents the number of dot lines (at 0.25 mm) at which the paper is to be
transported forwards. Maximum value for n = 255, equal to approximately 32 mm.

9708 TTP 101 Kiosk Printer – Installation Manual 11

ESC + l + n Line feeds before cut

(1BH)+(6CH)+n,

(27)+(108)+n decimal

Sets the number of line feeds to be executed before a cut-off.
Valid only in combination with the RS command.

ESC + p + nnnn Logotype print

(1BH)+(70H)+nnnn,

(27)+(112) nnnn decimal

Effects print of customized logotype stored in EPROM.
nnnn Represents a four-digit number assigned to customized logotype.

ESC + q + n Burn time adjustment

(1BH)+(71H)+n,

(27)+(113)+n decimal

Parameter n specifies the burn time for the thermal head resistors. This command adjusts
the burn time to obtain the optimal print contrast with the paper quality in use. Each step
n represents a pulse width adjustment of approximately 25 us.

n = 5 or 10 Default value (see Note below)
n = 1—15 Adjustment range. Adjustment should be done in small steps.

NOTE!

At power-ON, the firmware senses whether there is a solder jumper in position

SW4 (standard) and, if so, presets the burn time parameter value to

ESC q= 10

. The

jumper should always be installed when

the printhead

is supplied with +20 V. This is the
case in all TTP 101 printers from serial number 8506 since they have a built-in
+20 V regulator.

With earlier printer versions, the solder jumper SW4 should be installed only if the printer
control board is supplied with +20 V. If the supply voltage is between +20 V and +24 V,
the solder jumper SW4 must be removed to prevent printhead damage. The burn time
value will then be preset to the value

ESC q = 5

at power-ON but can be adjusted with the

ESC q command during printing
