– 10 – 4-3. Paper Insertion 4-3-1. Model DP8340FC (1) Cut the Roll Paper end straight and square. Hold the roll so that the paper comes from the bottom. (2) Attach the Roll Paper to the Holders Paper by slipping one side of the roll onto the Hub and pulling the other Hub out to allow the roll to slip in place. (3) Insert the paper evenly into t[...]

– 11 – 4-3-2. Model DP8340SC 1. Make a straight cut along the top of the paper, about 1/4 inch away from the sprocket holes, (as shown in the figure). If there is perforation, cut the paper on the perforation. 2. Insert the paper squarely into the paper insertion slot until the ALARM lamp goes out. Then, hold down the FEED switch to advance the[...]

– 12 – 4-4. Paper Removal Cut the paper close to the slot and use the feed button until paper has passed completely through the printer. Note: Do not try to remove the paper by hand as it could become crooked and get jammed inside the printer.[...]

– 13 – 5. CONTR OL CODES CODE LF (0A) H FUNCTION Print and line feed instruction OUTLINE The LF code causes the data in the line buffer to be printed, followed by a single line feed. When the line buffer is empty, only the feed takes place. CODE CR (0D) H FUNCTION Print and line feed instruction OUTLINE Same function as of LF code. However, whe[...]

– 14 – CODE SI (0F) H FUNCTION Inverted print instruction OUTLINE This function causes the printing to be inverted. This code must be received at the beginning of a line. If this code is received anywhere other than at the beginning of a line, it is disregarded. Accordingly, normal characters and inverted characters, can not be mixed on the sam[...]

– 15 – CODE ESC R n (1B) H (52) H n FUNCTION Select an international character. OUTLINE This command selects one of the international character sets in accordance with the value of “n” as shown below. n = 0 : U.S.A. 3 : England 6 : Italy 1 : France 4 : Denmark 7 : Spain 2 : Germany 5 : Sweden 8 : Japan International character set can be spe[...]

– 16 – Relation Between Character Pattern Data and the Print Head CODE ESC % 1 (1B) H (25) H (01) H or (1B) H (25) H (31) H FUNCTION Select download character OUTLINE This code specifies the download mode. Download char- acters defined by the previously explained <ESC>&0 code cannot be printed unless this code is first sent to the pri[...]

– 17 – If the position into which the download character is written (the character code) is defined as (21) H , (22) H , (23) H , then we have n 1 = (21) H , n 2 = (23) H The relation between the character pattern data and the print head assigns the 9 pin as unused. Therefore, m 0 = (80) H . If data m 1 to m 18 is converted to hexadecimal, it a[...]

– 18 – CODE ESC N n (1B) H (4E) H n FUNCTION Sets bottom margin in lines OUTLINE Upon receiving this code, the bottom margin is set to n lines. 0 n 120; Default Value n = 0 CODE ESC O (1B) H (4F) H FUNCTION Cancels bottom margin. OUTLINE Upon input of this code, bottom margin setting is cleared. CODE FF (0C) H FUNCTION Form feed OUTLINE The FF [...]
