CHAPTER 7 RECEIPT MODE (INTERFACE COMMANDS)
B-EP
Series
7-5
(3) The sensor is not used in the RECEIPT, RECEIPT1 or ESC/POS mode. When
sensor detectable paper is used for receipts and labels, print position detection
feed cannot be done in the LABEL, TPCL or TPCL1 mode. By setting the print
position detection feed parameter to 1, print position detection feed is carried out
after the mode is changed to LABEL, TPCL or TPCL1.
(4) In the TPCL1 mode, it is possible to re-print the last print data by pressing the
FEED button.
Notes
(1) The print mode designation (the specified print mode and the automatic status
response in IrDA: IrCOMM or USB) is backed up in memory (even if the power is
turned off).
(2) The factory default is “TPCL mode” and “Automatic status response in IrDA:
IrCOMM or USB is not performed.” (The IrDA protocol is “IrCOMM.”)
(3) When the print mode is changed, the type of sensor is automatically changed.
LABEL mode (0):
The previously backed up sensor is designated.
TPCL mode (A):
The previously backed up sensor is designated.
TPCL1 mode (B):
The previously backed up sensor is designated.
RECEIPT mode (1):
No sensor is designated.
RECEIPT1 mode (2):
No sensor is designated.
ESC/POS mode (4):
No sensor is designated.
(4) If the RECEIPT mode is selected or no sensor is designated in the LABEL or TPCL
mode, an initial feed is not performed when the cover is closed (when the print
position detection feed after the cover is closed is enabled with key operations or
using the set command ([ESC] ZM03)).
(5) When the mode change is finished, the printer sends the normal end status or an
ACK to the host. However, when the mode is changed to the TPCL mode, the
printer does not send the status. In IrDA: IrCOMM or USB, only when bit 7 of the
print mode designation is set to “1”, the printer sends the status.
(6) The print mode can be changed by the printer itself. However, since the setting
for the automatic status response in IrDA: IrCOMM or USB cannot be changed, the
setting remains as the same.
(7) As the print position detection feed parameter is effective only when changing the
print mode to LABEL or TPCL, this parameter status will be ignored when changing
the mode to RECEIPT, RECEPT1 or ESC/POS.
(8) The print position detection feed is performed according to the conditions, such as,
label pitch, fine adjustment, and sensor selection, which were set in the LABEL or
TPCL mode before the printer is operated in RECEIPT, RECEIPT1 or ESC/POS
mode. If no sensor is selected, the print position detection feed will not be
performed.
(9) After performing a print position detection feed, the printer does not send a process
end status. If an error occurs during the print position detection feed, the feed is
performed after the error is cleared by pressing the PAUSE key (when the print
position detection feed after the cover is closed is enabled with key operations or
using the set command ([ESC] ZM03)).
