Chapter 1: DIP Switch Settings

The printer’s DIP switches let you change communications parameters, input
buffer size, and emulation. This chapter explains the settings you can make and
tells you how to actually change DIP switch settings.

Accessing the DIP switches

The DIP switches are located inside the printer, underneath the document table.
Use the following procedure to remove the document table so you can operate
the DIP switches.
❏ Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from its wall outlet.
❏ Remove the printer cover.
❏ While using a screwdriver or other similar instrument to press down at the
location marked (a) in the illustration below, carefully slide the document
table in the direction indicated by the arrow until it is out of the way.

Note:
If the document table seems to be getting caught on the rollers, it means that
you are not pressing down at point (a) enough. Pressing at point (a) should
separate the rollers to the document table can slide freely.

❏ After the document table is opened sufficiently, use a thin flat-blade

screwdriver or some other similar object to change DIP switch settings.

Note:
See the following section for details on available DIP switch settings.

❏ After making the settings you want, slide the document table back into
place while pressing down at point (a). Make sure that the document table
is correctly seated in place before releasing point (a).
❏ Replace the printer cover.

Buttons
The following table describes the function of the three control buttons of the
control panel.

Button Description

Feeds the slip paper forward, toward the back of the printer. One press
FORWARD
feeds one line, holding down performs continuous feed.

Feeds the slip paper back, toward the front of the printer. One press
REVERSE
feeds one line, holding down performs continuous feed.

Activates the printer's paper release (the paper is not held in place by
RELEASE the paper feed roller).
Clears recoverable errors.

Producing a test print

The following procedure can be used at any time to test the printer.
❏ Turn on the printer and insert a piece of paper (page 6, 11).
❏ Turn off printer power.
❏ While holding down RELEASE, turn printer back on. Keep RELEASE
depressed for a few moments until the printer beeps and the printer test
print starts.
The printer test will continue until it reaches the end of the paper.

Adjusting the dot alignment

You may never have to use the procedure described in this section, but after you
have been using your printer for some time you may find that the dots of some
graphics do not align correctly. For example, what should look like:

may come out looking like one of the following:

or like this
8

This is caused when mechanical parts of the printer get out of alignment. This
happens only rarely and you may never experience it at all throughout the life
of the printer. If you do have problems, use the following procedure to correct it.
❏ Turn on the printer and insert a piece of paper.
❏ Turn off printer power.
❏ While holding down the control panel’s FORWARD and REVERSE
buttons, turn the printer back on to enter the Dot Alignment Adjust Mode,
which is indicator by a flashing POWER indicator flashes.
Entering the Dot Alignment Adjust Mode causes seven blocks to be printed,
each of which indicates a dot alignment setting, as shown below. An asterisk
to the left of the blocks indicates which block is currently selected.

❏ Use FORWARD to specify the block that appears to have the best aligned
characters. Press FORWARD once to specify the first block, twice to
specify the second block, and so on up to seven times to specify the seventh
block.
Warning beep will sound if you press FORWARD more than seven times.
❏ After specifying a block, press REVERSE to register your selection and
exit the Dot Alignment Adjust Mode.
 9

The dots alignment adjustment setting you selected is stored in printer memory
and a pattern is printed using the selected setting followed by the message
“Adjust Complete!” The printer ejects the paper after printing is complete.

Note:
You setting is not registered if you turn off printer power before pressing
REVERSE to exit the Dot Alignment Adjust Mode.
If a paper feed error occurs during this mode, the printer ejects the paper and
this mode is cancelled.

Hexadecimal dump
This procedure prints in hexadecimal format all codes (character codes and
control codes) that are sent to the printer by the computer. The printer does not
execute any control codes (such as 0A - linefeed), it just prints them out. The
hexadecimal dump is useful when you are writing programs for printer control.
❏ Turn on the printer and insert a piece of paper.
❏ Turn off printer power.
❏ While holding down the control panel’s FORWARD buttons, turn the
printer back on to enter the Hex Dump Mode.
❏ To exit the Hex Dump Mode, turn the printer off.

Note:
The printer will not responde to any commands you send it while it is in the
Hex Dump Mode.
10

Errors
There are three types of errors: recoverable errors that require some action by
you before they clear, non-recoverable errors that require servicing by an
authorized service provider, and a data receive error. Errors are indicated by and
audible buzzer and the indicators.

Data Receive Error

This type of error is caused whenever a problem is encountered during data
receipt. The method used by the printer to recover from a data receive error
depends on the current command mode.

Data protocol
❏ Outline of DTR/DSR mode operations
This communication mode is set when dip switches 1 to 6 are set at ON.
The DTR signal shakes hands with the DSR signal (DSR signal: ESC/POS
mode only) and performs communications. The DTR signal is assumed as the
BUSY signal and then the control for the printer’s data receiving operations
are carreied out, and a “space” means that the printer is to receive the data, and
a “mark” means that the printer is not to receive the data.

RXD Data Data Data

Buffer full Buffer empty

DTR

Printing

Power ON

The DTR signal line is set a “space” when the power supply is switched on and
no error occurs with the printer. The host confirms that the DTR signal line is
set at “space”, and then transmits the text data to the RXD signal line.
The printer sets the DTR signal line at “mark” when the empty area in the data
buffer is less that the prescribed number of bytes (*1: nearly full buffer
condition.) The host confirms that the DTR signal line is set at “mark” and
suspends text data transmission, but it is possible for the printer to continue
receiving data for the amount of space remaining in the data buffer’s empty area
at this point. If the DTR signal is ignored and data transmitted, the data that
exceeds the amount of space available in the empty area will be discarded. The
empty area in the data buffer will increase as printing is carried out, and the
DTR signal line will be set at “space” if the amount of empty space in the data
buffer is more than the prescribed number of bytes (*2: near empty condition.)
In addition to this, the host will confirm that receiving is possible (DSR signal
= “space”) and transmit the data only when memory switches 4 and 5 are set
at 0 during printer status transmission in the ESC/POS mode’s DTR/DSR
communication mode. (With the exception of certain status transmission
commands. Also, dip switches 1 to 9 must be at OFF when the DSR signal is
confirmed.)
*1 Refer to the nearly full buffer conditions for details on nearly full buffer conditions.
*2 Refer to the nearly empty buffer conditions for details on nearly empty buffer
conditions.
 15

❏ Outline of X-ON/X-OFF mode operations

This communication mode is set when dip switches 1 to 6 are set at OFF.
This mode notifies the host of X-0N (DC1) data when receiving is possible
and X-OFF (DC3) data when printing is not possible with the TXD signal.
The timing conditions for the output of X-ON and X-ON in the STAR mode
are set with the 4-C memory switch. When memory switch 4-C = 0 (set when
the unit is shipped from the factory,) only one byte is output by X-ON during
fluctuations from on-line (printer BUSY) to on-line (printer READY), and
only one byte is output by X-OFF during fluctuations from on-line (printer
READY) to on-line (printer BUSY). The same functions as above occur when
in the ESC/POS mode regardless of the 4-C memory switch setting.
When memory switch 4-C = 1, X-ON is output at regular three-second
intervals.

X–ON X–OFF X–ON X–OFF X–ON

TXD
Data Data Data
RXD

Printing

X-ON (DC1 with the control code name and 11H with hexadecimal display)
is output by the TXD signal line when the power supply is switched on and no
error occurs with the printer. The text data is transmitted to the RSD signal line
after the host has received X-ON.
X-OFF (DC3, 13H) is output when the empty area in the data buffer is less that
the prescribed number of bytes (*1: nearly full buffer condition.) Also, if
memory switch 4-C = 1, X-OFF is output for every byte of data received. The
host that receives X-OFF suspends text data transmission, but it is possible for
the printer to continue receiving data for the amount of space remaining in the
data buffer’s empty area at this point. If data that exceeds the amount of space
available in the empty area is transmitted, it will be discarded.
The empty area in the data buffer will increase as printing is carried out, and X-
ON is output if the amount of empty space in the data buffer is more than the
prescribed number of bytes (*2: near empty condition.)

If this function is set in the middle of a line, it will become valid
starting with the following line. When the power is turned on, the left
edge is set as the left margin.
The left margin must be at least 18 dots to the left of the right margin
and within the limits below. If the size of one character and its
spacing is larger than the print area defined by the margins, printing
is not possible and “?” is printed, instead of the character.
The value of n is between 0 and the value of the right margin - 2.

CODE <ESC> “Q” n

HEX 1B 51 n
FUNCTION Sets right margin
Sets right margin at column n at the current character pitch.

later.
If this function is set in the middle of a line, it will become valid
starting with the following line. When the power is turned on, the
right edge is set as the right margin.
The right margin must be within the limits below and set so that the
allowable print area is more than 18 dots. If the size of one character
and its spacing is larger than the print area defined by the margins,
printing is not possible and “?” is printed, instead of the character.
The value of n is between 2 and the value of the maximum number
of print columns.
 39

FUNCTION Slip function
After printing the data in the line buffer, operates the slip printer
according to the value of n.
n = 00, “0” : Operates the clamp
01, “1” : Releases the paper
02, “2” : Releases the paper and waits until it is removed
03, “3” : Feeds the paper backward (backfeed) until it
moves past the TOF sensor, then releases the
paper. (See NOTE below.)
04, “4” : Feeds the paper into the printer (operational feed)
until it moves past the BOF sensor, then releases
the paper.
05, “5” : Feeds the paper according to the direction and
length set by <ESC> <VT> m n (the paper is not
released)
(NOTE) When the slip paper is attached to duplicates, a paper jam
may occur if the paper is always fed backward. Therefore,
the paper should not be ejected with n=3. To feed slip paper
attached to duplicates backward, use <ESC> <VT> to set
the eject length to about half of the paper length, then eject
the paper using <ESC> <FF> 5.

FUNCTION Sets the paper eject direction/length
Sets the length of the ejection operation performed using <ESC>
<FF> 5 in line mode.
The value of m determines the ejection direction.
When m= “+”: the ejection direction is into the printer (operational
feed), and the ejection length is n lines (at the current
carriage return)
When m= “-”: the ejection direction is backward (backfeed), and
the ejection length is n lines (at the current carriage

The value of m is fixed to 0.

Page Mode

CODE <ESC> “n”

HEX 1B 6E
FUNCTION Selects page mode
Switches from line mode (default) to page mode.
This code is only valid when it is entered at the beginning of the line.
The page mode is suitable even though data is printed in the
rotational direction specified by <ESC> “T” n and in the page
coordinate range specified by <ESC> “*” •••, and though paper with
a horizontal length of a check, etc. is rotated 90 or 270 and printing
is carried out in all modes.
In page mode, since OR is applied to the data in the print area,
characters and bit images can be printed overlapping each other and
each character can be rotated and oriented independently.
In page mode, if printing data and a command such as <CR> or
<LF> are sent in the same way as in line mode, there is an automatic
rotation to the printer side.
All printing of data in the print area is performed according to <LF>.
After printing according to <FF>, the printer returns to line mode. In
addition, if <ESC> “!”, <ESC> “@” or <CAN> are specified,
printing is not performed and the printer leaves page mode and
returns to line mode.
While returning to line mode, the data in the printer buffer, the area
coordinates and the rotation directions are all cleared.
The following restrictions exist in page mode.
1) In page mode, half-dot characters cannot be printed since
printing is carried out in normal dot units.
When entering page mode, the ANK font is automatically set to
a 5 × 9 (2 pulses = 1 dot) font.
Since the 7 × 9 font and 5 × 9 (3 pulses = 1 dot) font commands
cannot be executed in page mode, they are executed after the
printer returns to line mode.
When the spacing between characters is an odd value, one half-
dot is truncated.
 49

Also, when characters are enlarged vertically, the top of the

characters may not be printed on the first line of the page and
the characters on the second line or lower lines may overlap the
characters above them. This is because the characters are
enlarged from their baseline.
Because of this, when vertically enlarged characters are
contained in a line the print area must be secured so that the
vertically extended characters can fit. This is done by adding an
additional <LF> at the beginning of the print data line.
2) Paper feed command
In paper mode, the paper feed command and carriage return are
executed in units of dots. A 1/72-inch (0.353-mm) paper feed is
considered 1 dot. Since a 1-dot pitch in the horizontal direction
is 0.30 mm and a 1-dot pitch in the vertical direction is 0.353
mm, the paper amount that is fed while printing using a 90 or
270 rotation is less when compared with a 0 or 150 rotation.
As a result, when printing using a 90 or 270 rotation, execute a
test print, check the horizontal and vertical dot alignment, then
adjust the alignment as necessary.
3) The following commands are not executed in page mode, but
are stored and executed when the printer returns to line mode.

CODE <ESC> “*” XL XH YL YH dXL dXH dYL dYH

HEX 1B 2A XL XH YL YH dXL dXH dYL dYH
FUNCTION Setting print area in page mode
The coordinates of the current position at the moment that page
mode is entered are (0,0). The starting point of the print area is
defined by XL, XH, YL and YH. In addition, the length DX in the X
direction is specified by dXL and dXH, and the length DY in the Y
direction is specified by dYL and dYH.

Current position (0,0)

DX
(X0,Y0)

Paper feed direction

DY Print area

Starting point X0 = XL + (XH × 256) dots

Starting point Y0 = YL + (YH × 256) dots
Length in horizontal direction DX = dXL + (dXH × 256) dots
Length in vertical direction DY = dYL + (dYH × 256) dots
The values of XL, YL, dXL and dYL are between 0 and 255, and the
values of XH, YH, dXH and dYH are between 0 and 1.
However, dXL = dXH = 0 and dYL = dYH = 0 are not included.
In addition, since the maximum range in the X direction (XO + DX)
is 210 dots and the maximum range in the Y direction (YO + DY) is
720 dots, each parameter should be specified to satisfy these ranges.
When the power is turned on, XL = XH = YL = YH = 0 (XO,YO =
0,0)
dXL = 210, dXH = 0 (DX = 210) and
dYL = 64, dYH = 2 (DY = 576).
 51

This command is stored, even in line mode, and the position at the
time that page mode is entered is used as the standard point (0,0).
Since the bottom of the character is used as the baseline, a minimum
print area of 8 dots are necessary in the character height direction to
print data in the page. (When printing a magnified character height,
the paper must be fed before printing.)

CODE <ESC> “T” n

HEX 1B 54 n
FUNCTION Setting print direction in page mode

mode according to the value of n.
This command is only valid in line mode.

<N=4,“4”: Check high-speed printing mode>

This parameter is only valid when no character data is expanded
into the page area, and this command is added immediately after
<ESC>“n”.
Also, once the check high-speed printing mode has been entered
with <ESC>“T”4, it is not possible to move across to a different
rotation mode (<ESC>“T”0-3) until the page mode has been exited.
52

The check high-speed printing mode provides high-speed printing

with the check at a 270 degree rotation angle and bi-directional
printing, and a wide range of limitations have been included to
enable bi-directional printing.
This mode can only be used with printing data that uses a 5 X 9 (2P-
1) font without decorations.
The limitations are listed below. The quality of the printed product
cannot be guaranteed if these limitations are removed and the unit
used.
[Limitations on the check high-speed printing mode]
• The only characters that can be printed are the 5 X 9 (2P-1) font
ANK characters.
• The double-sized width command cannot be used (the double-
sized height command may be used.)
• The bit image command cannot be used.
• Horizontal tabs cannot be used.
• The space setting command for the space between characters
cannot be used.
• The following limitations apply for the Y direction in the printing
area (value set with <ESC>“*”...)
1 As To=0 has been fixed as the starting point for the printing
area, the printing area command set with <ESC>“*”....
Must be specified with Yo=YL=YH=0. (It will forcibly set
at 0 if it is at any other setting.)
2 The value of Dy must be a six-fold value.
As bi-directional printing in 6-pin units will be performed in
this mode, there are cases where the characters that have
been entered in a misaligned state will be printed in a wave-
like style and will not be able to be distinguished when the
value of Dy is anything other than a six-fold value as a
joint will be established within a single character for return
printing.
Consequently, setting anything other than the six-fold value
must not be carried out. However, the printer will discard
any remainders from dividing by six and automatically
correct it into six-fold when any value other than six -fold has
been set.
 53

CODE <FF>
HEX 0C
FUNCTION Print in page mode (only valid when in page mode)
In page mode, all page data in the page area is printed, then the
printer returns to line mode. After all the page data is printed, the data
in the page, the page print area and the print direction are all
initialized.
In addition, this command has no function in line mode.

TM-295 mode emulation cautionary items

Since, as shown below, the paper feed pitch, dot pitch and the installation
distances between the TOF/BOF sensors and the print head differ depending on
the mechanism of the SP298 and TM-295, the printing results may not be the
same because of the differences in the mechanism. Also, even though, since the
TM-295 is a shuttle printer, the paper feed set values and actual paper feed
amount are different.

<Influence and command differences due to differences in paper feed motor

pitch and horizontal/vertical dot pitch>
Since the pitches are different, the printing results are reduced in the vertical/
horizontal direction compared to the TM-295. Especially in the page mode,
since the coordinates are controlled in dots, the printing results are reduced.
(There is a difference of n/60” dots - n/72” dots in the Y direction.)
In the case of the line mode, since the difference in the paper feed pitch is
absorbed as much as possible, the commands which are connected with the n/
60 inch unit paper feed (<ESC> “3” n, <ESC> “J” n, <ESC> “K” n) use
INT((6n/5)+0.5).
However, since even in this case, depending on the value of n, the paper feed
amount may not be exactly the same, the vertical direction printing position may
be different.
 61

<Influence due to the difference in the TOF and BOF sensor positions>
The paper position when the condition of the TOF or BOF sensor changes due
to the status is different to that of the TM-295.
Since the position of the BOF sensor is especially different, whereas the BOF
sensor reports “no paper” at 27.3mm from the bottom of the paper with the TM-
295, the BOF sensor reports “no paper” at approximately 38mm from the
bottom of the paper with the SP298. Therefore, when the BOF “no paper”
sensor is effective, the BOF sensor “no paper” is reported quicker than with the
TM-295 and it may not be possible to print in the same position at the bottom
of the same form.
For this reason, by controlling the printing so that it does not stop until
approximately 27.3mm from the bottom of the paper even if the paper has
passed the BOF sensor at the 38.1mm position, this difference is compensated.
However, due to the differences in the paper feed pitch (star = n/72”, TM-295 =
n/60”), the emulation is not perfect.
<Influence due to mechanical stopper position>
With the TM-295, by adjusting the mechanical stopper position, the paper top
position can be changed between 0 to 10mm. However, since the mechanical
stopper position is fixed with the SP298, if the TM-295 mechanical stopper
position is changed and the printing results are compared, they may be different.
