Frame structure    SOF : Start of frame (SOF code must be 0xC0)    TOF : Type of frame (See the table shown below)               EOF : End of frame (EOF code must be 0xC1)    CHECKSUM : Checksum is necessary in case of the TOF code is 0x44.    DATA : Data is in need of the TOF code is 0x44, 0x05, 0x53.    1. If the code (0xC0, 0xC1, 0x7D) is included on sending data, first insert 0x7D code, then   operate XOR with that code and 0x20.   Example : In case the send data is 0x20 0x7D 0xC1, the sending data will be 0x20 0x7D 0x5D  0x7D 0xE1.   Note : The bolded character is inserted data.   And the underlined character is the data operated XOR with 0x20.    2. If the code 0x7D is included on receiving, first remove 0x7D code, then operate XOR with  next code and 0x20.   Example : In case the received data is 0x20 0x7D 0x5D 0x7D 0xE1, the real data will be 0x20   0x7D 0xC1.

If there is no response from printer, after fifth times recheck with every 400ms, then display the error message such as "The printer cannot fined" on your display panel same  like CRT, PDA, etc.   2.

It is error condition shown below.   - Wrong checksum received   - No data received within 200ms after data receive.   - There is no 0xC1 code after checksum   - It is not number code (0x30 - 0x39) in data length field.  7.4 Structure of print data frame   SOF 0x44 DATA ID DATA Length Print DATACHECKSUM EOF
 http://www.woosim.com 71                               1. DATA ID : It is made up 1 digit number. The range is 0 - 9.   The number must be character code.           2. DATA Length : It consists of 4 digit numbers.   The range is 0001 - 9999.   The number must be character code.   Example   - If you want to send 4 numbers data to printer, you must send 0x30 0x30 0x30 0x34 codes as data length.    3. CHECKSUM : It is composed of 2 bytes. 1st byte is operated XOR value with odd numbers of data.   And 2nd byte is operated XOR value with even numbers of data   Example  - In case of print data is SAMPLE TEST, data length is 0011 (0x30 0x30 0x31   0x31), the 1st byte of checksum is operated XOR value with S, M, L, space, E, T, and 2nd byte checksum is operated XOR value with A, P, E, T, S.    Note :   1. Do not have time interval over 200ms on transmitting print data.   2. If not receive EOT or NACK frame within 1 second after transmitting print data    completely, jump to the transmitting ENQ frame.    3. If receive EOT frame after print data transmitted, quit the print operation    4. In case of receiving NACK frame, if receive NACK frame more than three times   after transmit print data three times, display CHECK PRINTER STATUS on your    display panel and wait operator's measures.

If there is no response ACK frame after transmitting ENQ frame from host, transmit again  ENQ frame after waiting 400ms.   2. In case of no response over 10 times from printer about ENQ frame, display PRINTER   CANNOT FINDED message on the your display panel, and wait operator's measures.  SOF 0x05 DATA ID EOF

Printer mechanism handing   1) Do not pull the paper out when the cover is closed. 2) Because the thermal elements of the print head and driver ICs are easy to break, so do not   touch them with any metal objects.   3) Since the areas around the print head become very hot during and just after printing, do not  touch them.   4) Do not use the cover open button except when necessary.   5) Do not touch the surface of the print head because bust and dirt can stick to the surface and  damage the elements.   6) Thermal paper containing Na, K, Cl ions can harm the print head thermal elements. Therefore, be sure to use only the specified paper.   7) If you want to use label paper, please contact your dealer for assistance.    2. Thermal paper handling   - Notes on using thermal paper   Chemicals and oil on thermal paper may cause discoloration and faded printing.   Therefore, pay attention to the following;   1) Use water paste, starch paste, polyvinyl paste, or CMC paste when gluing thermal paper.  2) Volatile organic solvents such as alcohol, ester, and ketone can cause discoloration.   3) Some adhesive tapes may cause discoloration or faded printing.   4) If thermal paper touches anything which includes phthalic acid ester plasticizer for a long   time, it can reduce the image formation ability of the paper and can cause the printed image to fade. Therefore, when storing thermal paper in a card case or sample notebook, be sure to use only products made from polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyester. 5) If thermal paper touches diazo copy paper immediately after copying, the printed surface  may be discolored.   6) Thermal paper must not be stored with the printed surfaces against each  other because the printing may be transferred between the surfaces.
 http://www.woosim.com 74                              7) If the surface of thermal paper is scratched with a hard metal object  such as a nail, the paper may become discolored.   - Notes on thermal paper storage   Since color development begins at 70°C (158°F), thermal paper should be protected   from high temperature, humidity, and light, both before and after printing.   1) Store paper away from high temperature and humidity.   Do not store thermal paper near a heater or in enclosed places exposed to direct sunlight.   2) Avoid direct light Extended exposure to direct light may cause discoloration or faded   printing.    3. Others Because this printer uses plated steel, the manual cutting edge may be subject to rust.   However, this does not affect the printer performance.
