In order to print or modify parameters: remove jumper B ! The key S102 resets the printer to the standby mode. The menu parameters will not to be changed. 19 In order to tear off the p ape[...]

5.2. Replacing the Paper Roll Proceed as described below: 1. For devices with a.c. powersupply be very careful. 2. Push the snap lock to the right hand side and open the front panel. 3. Tilt the wire frame upwards; remove the old paper roll. 4. Insert new paper roll; make sure it rotates clockwise during printing (see left side of the figure). 5. T[...]

21 5.3. Menu Program All functions of the IPP 1444 are set via menu program using the „ENTER“ and „SELECT“ keys and are saved when the user quits the program. From then the IPP 144 automatically uses these parameters. The print format for the printout of the parameters is always NORMAL with 48 character per line, so that the parameters can [...]

22 The menu program „Change Parameters“ The menu program „Change Parameters“ can be called in one of two ways: Without prior printing of the current parameters: Press both keys following „ACTUAL P ARAMETERS ? ...“. With prior printing of the current parameters: Press both keys following „CHANGE P ARAMETERS ?“.      ?[...]

Date / Time Output (E - V ersion) Output Date and time may be transmitted via the serial interface II Request: Addressed: The IPP 144 returns date / time in the format: < CR > < LF > 15.03.04 17:03:24 < CR > < LF > During the transmission, nothing can be received (RTS = LOW). < Ctrl W > < CR > <Ctrl E&[...]

Start Printing T o start the printing, the IPP 144-40 G expect s only the character <CR> Carriage return, Enter Note: <LF> alone has by itself no effect combined with other control characters (calling text, send clock, start print interval -see following sections). If these characters are transmitted wi[...]

31 7.3. Handshake Messages Serial Interface These lines indicate the printer status to the sender; DTR (device is on) is rather insignificant and is in general not used. RTS high (+8 V) indicates: printer is ready to receive. RTS low (-7 V) indicates: printer is not ready to receive. The reasons for printer not being ready could be: Out of paper Pr[...]

32 Improved handshaking for pre-stored texts After receiving the control command <CR> the printer now sets RTS at „BUSY“ or the signal XOFF is transmitted. When the printing of pre-stored text is complete, RTS is reset or the signal XON is transmitted. This handshake can be used to control the data transmission and prevent rapid text call[...]

33 With Handshake, provided RTS (or XON/XOFF protocol) is used to control the data transmitter: Data input: <Ctrl C> 1 <CR> <Ctrl C> 2 <CR> <Ctrl C> 3 <CR> Actual Print-out: Machine No. 3 pre-stored T ext No. 1 Automatic mode pre-stored T ext No. 2 S tatus NORMAL pre-stored T ext No. 3 7.4.

34 Reserving space for measured variables In order to be able to insert measured value (variables) into text afterwards, the location within the text must be marked using „Ctrl V“, which reserves 6 spaces into which any characters may be entered, since they are overwritten at a later time anyway; they are merely wildcards. Creating a text block[...]

35 Important notes: <LF> on its own does not start the printing ! Between several text calls in a row there has to be a gap of least 2 seconds to make sure no text is skipped during printing ! Several text calls using <Ctrl C> and „normal“ transmissions must not be combined ! Combination of text and Date / time (protocol) see chapte[...]
