Character Sets 

The standard GPT-4378-HP supports the following cha- 
racter sets: 

Special character sets available on request. 

  In te rf ac es  • H P IR  In te rf ac e 

Ge BE E + F Gm bH  • ww w .oe m- pri nte r .co m • SM AN -E- 471 -V2 .3 • The rm al Pri nte r GPT -43 78 / 437 9 

The GPT -4378-HP emulates an HP82240B in text AND 
graphics printing. 
The transmission range r eaches 20 cm - 1 meter . 

Command Set 

Due to a command patch, the GeBE commands r e- 
main usable, if 80hex ar e added to the command ope- 

rator , e.g.:  Switch to double height : 

       ESC "H+80hex" "1"  =   ESC  C8hex "1" 

Graphics 

A transmitted HP graphics byte is zoomed to the 
GeBE-FLASH 

® 

  printer mechanism for adjusting. Each 

pixel is trippled in the dir ection of printing. 
In horizontal dir ection, two sequential pixels ar e tripp- 
led, but each thir d pixel is just doubled. This r esults in 
a zoom factor of 2.66:1. This allows special characters 
to be printed as graphics. 

HP-Ir Pr otocol 

While the GeBE-IR pr otocol and the IrDA pr otocol act 
bidir ectionally , the HP-IR pr otocol only works unidir ec- 

tionally ,i.e. the printer r eceives print data, but it cannot 

send messages back (e.g. buf fer full). For this r eason, 
the timing of the data transmission is tuned, so the 
printer is guaranteed to always be able to print out the 
data r eceived thr ough the HP-IR interface without the 
loss of any data. The transmission speed is limited to 
app. 800 baud. 
When defective characters ar e r eceived, they ar e co- 
r ected, if possible, or r eplaced with a ? character , if 
they ar e uncorr ectable. A buf fer overflow is indicated 
thr ough the character FChex. 

Use  of the Sleep Mode 

After the sleep time set in the menu has passed, the 
printer turns itself off. 
(s tandar d value = 10 minutes). 
The IR r eceiver is of f during sleep mode. Therefore, the 
device has to be turned on explicitly for printing. The 
power consumption is only about 18 µA in this mode. 
However, for longer periods of inactivity, the printer 
should be turned off completely by holding down the 
NEXT/OFF key .

Data T ransmission Format for  Failur e-Fr ee Operation 
of the GeBE-FLASH 

® 

 : 

The IR r eceiver of the GeBE-FLASH 

® 

 has the ability to 

inhibit failur es due to ambient light. However , continously 
sent data of mor e than 140 bytes without a pause bet- 
ween the bytes may cause the printer to become sensiti- 
ve to ambient light. The optical filter that is installed as a 
standar d will r educe this ef fect, but it cannot completely 
cancel it. It is ther efor e r ecommended to incr ease the 
specified interframe delay fr om 600µs  to at least 1.5 ms 
after a continous data transmission of no mor e than 140 
bytes. A general interframe delay of 1.5 ms between the 
transmitted bytes would be even better . 
Generally , this should not be a pr oblem r egar ding the 
print speed, since most pint data is sent in blocks with a 
waiting period between the blocks, in or der to pr event ol- 
der , slower printers fr om being overrun with data.
