10.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This chapter describes details regarding the interface commands for the SYSTEM mode. For
specification regarding keys, refer to the Key Operation Specification, and command specification for
setup tools, refer to the Setup Command Specification.
10.2 STARTING THE PRINTER IN SYSTEM MODE
Unlike the TPCL, TPCL1, LABEL, RECEIPT, RECEIPT1 and ESC/POS modes, the SYSTEM mode
cannot be accessed by the Mode Select Command. The SYSTEM mode can be accessed by turning
on the power of the printer while holding down the FEED or PAUSE key..
10.3 COMMUNICATIONS CONDITIONS
Communication is carried out using values currently set for the printer.
Communication is enabled via all interfaces except for Wireless LAN and Bluetooth (B-EP-GH32.)
Once communication has started, interface type does not automatically change to another. To
change the interface type, it is required to press the FEED key or PAUSE key, or turning the printer
power off then on.
For communication statuses of each interface, refer to “I/F SETTING” in the SYSTEM mode.
* For details, refer to the Key Operation Specification.
10.4 LIMITATIONS IN SYSTEM MODE
When the SYSTEM mode is selected, the printer does not enter into the power save mode.
When the SYSTEM mode is selected, the auto power-off function is not performed.
The settings specified by any Set Commands are stored into flash ROM, when the printer is turned
OFF or is initialized by the Initialize Command. They take effect when the printer is turned ON, or
after initialization is completed. Do not remove the battery during storing the settings, or the data
cannot be written into flash ROM.
