CONFIGURING THE PRINTER 2 There are several commands to configure the printer. You can include these commands anywhere in a data stream. This chapter describes the commands to configure the printer. Selecting the Operating Mode The printer works in either online or buffer mode. In online mode, the printer prints characters as soon as they are received. In buffer mode, the printer receives and stores characters, and then prints them upon receipt of an EOT control character (4 hex).

Setting the Power Mode The printer can operate in five different power modes, each using a different number of printhead sections, which are groups of dots on the printhead. The mode selected also affects the print speed (the more printhead sections used, the faster the printer speed and vice versa). Syntax ESC-- ESC Starts the command language. Power mode command. Enter P. Power mode. The number of printhead sections to use, specified in hex. Optio

Using the Power-Off Timer The printer has a power-off timer to conserve battery life. After a specified period of inactivity occurs, the printer goes into sleep mode. The printer returns to normal mode when it starts receiving commands again, but the countdown re-starts after every character received. Before powering down, the printer sends AuXon then Xoff. See “Setting the Communications Parameters” for descriptions of the dip switches and for information about this feature. Syntax ES

Supply Control Commands The commands in this section control how the printer uses black-mark supplies. Look at your supply (distance between black marks, existence of any preprinted text, etc.) before you begin. You may have to use the black mark search command multiple times if the marks are farther apart than the maximum search allows. To use these commands: 1. Set the sensitivity of the sensor search mechanism detecting the black mark (ESC QQ command). 2. Move the supplies forward
