    (2) SI (Shift In) (for condensed characters) When the SI code is input, all data that follows it will be printed out in condensed characters. This code is cancelled by the input of “DC 2” code. The SI code can be input at any column position on a line, but all characters/symbols on the line containing SI code are printed out in condensed charac[...]

    (7) ESC E (for emphasized characters) The ESC E code causes the Printer to print emphasized characters. Emphasized printing gives the character stronger impression on the paper. This code can be input in any column position on a line, but all characters on the line containing ESC E code are printed out in emphasized characters. The speed of the hea[...]

    3.4 Other codes (1) DC 1 (Device Control 1) The DC 1 code places the Printer in the Selected state. It enables the Printer to receive data. W ith the Printer in the Selected state, if the DC 1 code is input during data transfer, all data stored before the DC 1 code is ignored. (2) DC 3 (Device Control 3) The DC 3 code places the Printer in the Dese[...]

    (6) BS (Back Space) The BS code cancels the data immediately preceding this code in the Text Mode. In other words, one byte data stored prior to the BS code is cleared from the print buffer, as though that data has not been transferred from the host com- puter. Note that this code is valid only in the Text Mode. (7) NUL (Null) The NUL code is regar[...]

    4.1 Normal-density bit image mode setting by ESC K + nl + nz To convert the printer’s operation mode from Text to Normal-density Bit Image, the “ESC K + nl + nz” code must be input. (Here, the sign “+” is inserted for the purpose of legibility only and should not be input in actual operation.) Namely, when ESC (< 1 B> H and K (< [...]

    4.2 Dual-density bit imagemode setting by ESC L + nl + nz When the ESC (< 1 B> H ) and L (< 4C > H ) codes followed by data nc and n2 are input, the printer’s operation mode is converted from Text to Dual-density Bit Image. The transfer sequence of bit image data is the same as with the ESC K (normal-den- sity bit image printing), but[...]

    4.4 How to obtain nl and n2 In the MX-82 Printer, you have to send the amount of data by nr + n2 in hexadecimal numbers following the ESC K or ESC L. If the amount of bit image data is 300, then nt and nz may be derived as follows; nl = (Amount of data) MOD 256 = 300 MOD 256 = <44>D = <2c>H n2 = INT (Amount of data/256) = INT (300/256) [...]

    MAINTENANCE 1. Preventive Maintenance Preventive maintenance for the MX-82 and MX-82 F/T consist basically of clean- ing. The Printer should be cleaned with a soft brush to remove paper dust and parti- cles after every three months of use. The exterior surface of the Printer can be cleaned by using a mild detergent and water solution. 2. Parts Repl[...]

    3. All interface conditions are based on TTL level. Both the rise and fall times of each signal must be less than 0.2 p.s. 4. Data transfer must not be carried out by ignoring the ACKNLG or BUSY signal. (Data transfer to this printer can be carried out only after con- firming the ACKNLG signal or when the level of the BUSY signal is “LOW’.) (4)[...]

    NOTES: 1. In Table A2-2, it is assumed that as soon as the Printer receives data, it sends back the ACKNLG signal, though this data is not stored in the print buffer. In this status, the Printer is waiting for the DC 1 code for normal entry. 2. In the above table, it is also assumed that no ERROR status exists other than that attributable to the OF[...]
