Interface manual
The XON / XOFF-report is used in "memory"-mode. The XON-code (HEX 11) indicates that the printer
is ready to receive data. When XOFF-code (HEX 13) is shown the transmission of data has to be
interrupted. To avoid possible data loss some information will be stored into the data-memory.
When receiving, that the memory is empty the XON-code (HEX 11) will be shown again.

PIN 10 ACKNLG
PIN 11 In regular condition this signal is "LOW".
With decreasing amplitude of STROBE- signals,
BUSY will change onto "HIGH" - level.
This level will stay as long as the printer is busy
with the already received data byte.

Interface manual
2 DATA 0 (input) The signals are data bits sent to the printer. A HIGH
3 DATA 1 (input) level corresponds to logical 1 and a LOW level to
4 DATA 2 (input) logical 0.

7 DATA 5 (input)
8 DATA 6 (input)
9 DATA 7 (input)
10 ACKNLG (output) An impulse of approx. 12 µs confirms data input for
a LOW level and signalises the further listening
watch of the printer.
11 BUSY (output) A HIGH level indicates that the printer cannot
receive any data.
On the following conditions the signal HIGH is
possible:
1) for data input (impulse for each sign)
2) during a printing process
3) in Offline status
4) for printer failures
12 PE (output) A HIGH level indicates that paper is used up.

3. Format of data
The format of data consists of 4 parts, the mask part, the text, the code (if necessary) and the
command part.
Examples:
label with 3 lines text: 3 mask statements
3 text statements
1 command statement
label with 3 lines text and 1 code: 4 mask statements
4 text statements
1 code statement
1 command statement
All other data statements ASCII format, but they will be transmitted as hexadecimal characters.

The auto status will be served, i.e. in certain operating modes the printer actively sends the
corresponding status.
To activate the auto status, the PC has to send the following command to the printer:
Each of the messages shown below, which are observed and sent by the printer, has to be transmitted
to the printer by the auto status with one bit set (see below "1. byte" and "2. byte"). The printer sends
after each performed condition the corresponding message (answer) to the PC.
1- Start of generation
2- End of generation
In regular mode the printer sends this status in case the data of a complete label has been
generated. The test print is not being considered.
In case of consecutive numbering / RTC the printer send for each label a status cycle (start,
end).
3- Start of printing
4- End of printing
This status exists only in dispensing mode. The start of the print will be send when the
GENERATED data will be printed. The end of the print will be send when the print of the label
is finished, the motor is stopped.
5- Start of cutting
6- End odd cutting
This status describes the cutting. Here it is possible to check the end of the cutting at
TIMEOUT --> error

Attention: In byte 1 and byte 2, the 1 bit always has o be '0', otherwise the printer possibly could
recognise SOH or ETB.
The auto status will not be stored in the printer, i.e. the printer is set to '0' after turning OFF/ON. The
printer always has to be initialised after turning on the printer.
Example:
After performed condition (= start of print order) the printer sends the following answer to the PC:
The answer corresponds always to the format statement in regard to the contents.

Interface manual
With the remote and parameter statement the printer will be controlled remote. The structure of these
statement is very similar, yet they will be treated separately.
Remote statement:
The remote statement is the actual remote statement. This statement will be treated immediately in
contrast to the parameter statement, i.e. during a running print order too. Thereby the printer reacts
immediately to commands which are sent via the remote statement. The structure of the remote
statement is shown on the following pages.
Parameter statement:
The parameter-statement is used for adjusting the various parameters of the corresponding label. This
statement will be loaded into the receiving buffer like the mask, command and code statement. A new
parameter statement will only be treated after the end of a print order. Thereby it is possible to keep
several labels within the receiving buffer, whereby one parameter-statement is necessary for each
label. So each label can be printed with a different print speed, print intensity, etc. The PC does not
have to send any data until the receiving buffer is empty.
Attention: The remote statement can be sent only via serial interface. The parameter statement
can be sent via serial interface as well as via parallel interface.

The remote and parameter statements are, like all other statements, enclosed by SOH and ETB.
After SOH first 7 identification bytes and then 8 parameter bytes are following.
Column 1: This byte is the identification, whether a remote statement (R; 52Hex) or a parameter
statement (F; 46Hex) is following.
Column 2: Identification of "field-area"; the structure corresponds to the control entry. This
identification of "field-area" can be executed via the foil keyboard (memo, quant,..)
Column 3: identification 2
Column 4: identification 3
Column 7: Flag, whether the transferred parameter should be read or if the printer has to send the
required parameter to the PC.
'r' (72Hex) ''r' (72 Hex) - printer should take over the parameter res. execute the
command already sent.
'w' (77Hex) 'w' (77 Hex) - printer should send back the required parameter to the PC.
Column 8: Parameter. Here 8 bytes are reserved. This parameter area serves for handing over data
to the printer, res. for sending an answer identification, which send the printer back to the
PC via answer statement. These 8 bytes always have to be transferred to the printer.
The content will only be evaluated if an 'r' is transferred in column 7.
Column 9: Here the number of bytes / characters is shown, which the printer considers res. treats in
the answer statement. The bytes will be counted from the left to the right. Column 9
serves only for explanations and is not necessary for the data transmission.

Following, the statements will be described, which can be sent via a parameter res. remote statement
('-' = entry 0).
The bytes are separated by commas. For explanation purposes are shown as an example. For a
parameter statement only the first column has to be changed (RF).
SOH,F,A,A,-,-,-,r,E,X,A,M,P,L,E,S,ETB
The label with the name EXAMPLES will be saved onto the Memory-Card. The number of lines set in
the printer at the moment will be saved; i.e. to save a label from a Host-computer onto the MC, you
have to follow the instructions:
SOH,F,A,B,-,-,-r,E,X,A,M,P,L,E,S,ETB
Here the label with the name EXAMPLES will be loaded from the Memory-Card into the printer. The
number of lines will be set automatically to the correct value. In case no label with the name
EXAMPLES is saved onto the MC, an error message results.
All names will be transferred 8-digit, i.e. if necessary with gaps.
SOH,F,A,C,-,-,-,r,E,X,A,M,P,L,E,S,ETB
The label with the name EXAMPLES will be deleted from the Memory-Card. In case no label with the
name EXAMPLES is saved onto the MC, an error message results.

10.3.4. To format a MC
SOH,F,A,D,-,-,-,r,-,-,-,-,-,-,-,-,ETB
A new Memory-Card has to be formatted before the first use. All data on the MC will be deleted. With
this command no parameters have to be transferred.
10.3.5. To copy a MC
SOH,F,A,E,-,-,-,r,-,-,-,-,-,-,-,-,ETB
With this command the copying of a MC can be started. It is absolutely necessary that a user has to
be at the printer. On the display of the printer the message: "Insert source MC + Enter" appears. The
user has to insert the source MC into the printer and has to activate key "E" or "start/stop". Now the
contents of the MC will be loaded into the printer and the message: "Insert target MC + Enter"
appears. The user has to insert the target MC into the printer and has to activate key "E" again. Now
the contents of the source MC will be loaded from the printer onto the target MC. The complete
contents of the target MC will be overwritten. Therefore the target MC does not have to be formatted.
This function enables to load graphics onto the Memory-Card. The graphic data will be transferred via
the standard graphic statements to the printer. Receiving the command statement "print number of
pieces", the graphic transfer is considered as finished; the received graphics will be saved under the
transferred name onto the Memory-Card.

The parameter of the serial interface can be set via the following commands. Hereby you have to
notice, that after sending one of these commands, the host computer also changes the corresponding
parameter of its interface, to enable a further communication between host computer - printer.
There are two different interface protocols available. Usually SOH = 01HEX and
ETB = 17HEX. However there are host computers (IBM), which can't work with these characters.
Therefore you can switch to SOH = 5EHEX and ETB = 5FHEX. As described earlier under chapter
"10.3.17. Parameter serial interface", the host computer has to change the corresponding parameter
as well.

The printer send back the answer statement to the PC, when a REMOTE / PARAMETER
STATEMENT with identification 'w' of column 7 has been received.
parameter 2 can be used to coordinate the answer statement in the PC to the previous request.
They correspond to the parameters sent with the remote / parameter statement; they
won't be processed but always sent back.
10.5. Interfaces
The remote statement only can be sent to the printer via serial interface. The parallel interface only
can receive data, i.e. it is not possible to transfer data from the printer to the PC. Because of that
reason the remote statement cannot be used via the parallel interface. The parameter statement also
can be sent via the parallel interface, but no data can be transferred back from the printer as described
earlier.

If consecutive numbering of labels is desired, this can be entered in text and code lines.
A maximum of 99 lines per label is possible. Each line can be numbered. The entry of mask should be
defined that the lines with numbering are the last ones.
The consecutive numbering has to be defined by 9 control characters in the text line, whereby the
value can be changed between 1 and 99.
Up to version 2.04 it could be counted from 0 to 9 (decimal) res. from A to Z only. Since version 3.01
this counting mode can be effected with the radix values 00 res. 01.

Since version 1.04 the user has the possibility to define an own special user's guiding.
The special user's guiding enables the print of label with variables in stand alone mode (see also
corresponding operating manual).
Therefore one or several variables will be defined when creating the label. They will be shown in the
display and entered directly at the printer. The user does not have to search the line with the variable
in the entry menu, but he will be led directly from one variable the next. After entering all variables the
print can be started immediately.
The user's guiding has to be switched on in function menu in the menu item "Password".
The activation results via 13 control characters in the text line.
While creating a variable text or barcode line the following has to be defined:
a help text ("prompt") for the variable
the variable itself
13 control characters, by which the activation results
Since version 3.01 it is possible to define a user guided variable with consecutive numbering.
Position 65 is the identification for the user's guiding with consecutive numbering.
If the value '1' is entered, the positions 58 to 63 are the identification bits for consecutive
numbering.
The entry of mask of a variable line corresponds to the one of text or barcodes. The variable itself
will be defined in the entry of text line.

Attention: Don't forget to save the label including variables, which have been created at the printer
onto the Memory-Card, because after switching on the user's guiding just reading only
functions of the Memory-Card are allowed and the variables exist in such a manner in
the internal printer buffer, as long as the user's guiding is switched on. Otherwise the
variable will be changed into a normal text line, i.e. the start text and the 13 control

The only difference between Code EAN 128 and Code 128 is the second start character (FNC1);
that's why they won't be described separately.
The Code 128 consists of the ASCII font. The code has 1 check digit, 3 start characters and 1 stop
character, a high density of information and is suitable for all print techniques.
The ASCII font can' be displayed completely just with one font.
The supply of characters consists of: 128 ASCII- characters, 4 special characters, 4 control
characters, 3 start characters, 1 Stop character
The check digit of code 128 is being calculated with modulo 103. Reference numbers are assigned to
the characters of Code 128, as well as 3 start characters. The factor of importance begins with 1 at the
first useful character (left to right) and increases by 1 after each useful character.
For encoding and decoding the code schedule Code 128 has to be used.

Interface manual
In the following all menus of the function menu are catalogued with its menu items. The tabulated view
shows exactly which keys have to be pressed in order to reach a certain menu item to alter values /
parameters.
Alterations in the function menu can be done either by the numeric foil keyboard at the printer or by
the corresponding keys of an external keyboard. The adjusted parameters will be stored in an
EEPROM and after switching on the printer again these parameters will be available.

Turbo The advantage of using the "fast fonts" is the short generation time.
(fast) Fonts
width x height matrix position 0/2 position 1/3
51 = FONT 1 0,89 x 1,13 7x 9 w/o GEM w/o GEM
52 = FONT 2 1,25 x 1,75 10 x 14 with GEM w/o GEM
53 = FONT 3 1,89 x 2,63 15 x 21 with GEM w/o GEM
54 = FONT 4 4,00 x 5,63 32 x 45 w/o GEM w/o GEM

56 = FONT 6 1,75 x 2,87 14 x 23 OCR-A w/o GEM w/o GEM
57 = FONT 7 1,25 x 2,25 10 x 18 descender with GEM w/o GEM
Please note that the spaces have to be entered in mm and not in number of pixel.
The extension of these fonts always have to be y=1 and x=1.
If this is not observed, the regular fonts (incl. number of pixel as spaces) are being
generated. No error message is being displayed.
Vectorfonts When in mode "proportional text", the height and width of text have to be entered in
proportional: mm. These values refer to the capital "M", i.e. the values of other characters are
changing proportional.
Vectorfonts When in mode "autoscale" the height and width of the text has to be entered in
autoscale: mm. The height of the text refers to all capital letters. When using small characters
and descenders the height is changing proportional. When entering the width, the
complete file has to be considered. The text will be adjusted automatically, which
means that the width of the characters is changing.
