NORMAL PRINTING
If the printer is changed to perform as a normal serial printer (SW8 OFF) then the
setting of the other switches will need to be changed to match the baud rate, parity and
other printer settings.
Turn power off when setting the switches and the new parameters will become active
when the power is turned back on.
The printer generally uses the IBM Proprinter commands, with additional special codes
to print the date and time.
ESC c or ESC C Print current time
ESC d or ESC D Print current date
SETTING DAY AND TIME
Hold the Feed key down when power is turned on. The printer will go into a date/time
setting mode. Regardless of internal switch settings proceed as follows.
An ASCII string must be sent to the printer to set the date and time. One method of
doing this is to connect the printer to a PC or other terminal device. Send the following
commands to the printer from the DOS prompt.
C:\> MODE COMx:1200,E,7,1<enter>
C:\> COPY CON COMx<enter>
C:\> Tyy;mm;dd;hh;mm;ss<enter>
C:\> CTRL-Z<enter>
Comx is the active Com port the printer is connected to. For example to set 18 May
1999, 9:25 AM send T99;05;18;09;25;00<enter> CTRL-Z<enter> then turn power off
then back on to begin normal operation. The baud rate and parity should be as set
above regardless of how the printer is configured using the dip-switches.
A program to set the date and time is available from
Inscale
. This program will
run under Windows. Contact
