Printer Status and Indicators

The TH320/TH420 printers perform a number of diagnostics that provide useful information about the

operating status of the printers. The following diagnostic tests are available.

 Startup diagnostics

Performed during the printer’s startup cycle.

 Runtime diagnostics

Performed during normal printer operation.

 Remote diagnostics

Maintained during normal operation and reported in the print test.

 The printer can be configured with the following settings and functions through the configuration

menu that is printed on the receipt. For more information on configuring the printer, see TH320 and

TH420 User Guides “Printer configuration”.

Communication interfaces Diagnostic modes

RS-232c settings

Printer emulations/software options

Hardware options

Startup diagnostics

When the printer receives power or performs a hardware reset, it automatically performs the startup

diagnostics (also known as level 0 diagnostics) during the startup cycle. The following diagnostics are

performed:

Turn off motors and solenoids.

 Perform boot CRC check of the firmware ROM, test external SRAM, test EEPROM, and test main

program CRC. Failure causes Startup Diagnostics to stop; the printer beeps and the light flashes a

set number of times, indicating the nature of the failure. The table in the “Indicators” section (page

16) describes the specific tone and light sequences.

 Check if paper is present.

 Return the knife to the home position.

Failure causes a fault condition. The table in the “Indicators” section (page 16) describes the specific

tone and light sequences.

 Check if receipt cover is closed

Failure does not interrupt the startup cycle.

When the startup diagnostics are complete, the printer makes a two-tone beep (low then high

frequency), the paper feed button is enabled, and the printer is ready for normal operation.

If the printer has not been turned on before, or a new EEPROM has been installed, the default values

for the printer functions will be loaded into the EEPROM during startup diagnostics.

Runtime Diagnostics

Runtime diagnostics (sometimes called level 2 diagnostics) run during normal printer operation. When the

following conditions occur, the printer automatically turns off the appropriate motors and disables

printing to prevent damage to the printer:

 Paper out

 Receipt cover open

 Knife unable to home

 Print head too hot

 Voltages out of range

The light on the operator panel will signal when these conditions occur as well as indicate what state or

mode the printer is in.

ogrammers Guide TH320/420

2

Remote Diagnostics

Remote diagnostics (sometimes called level 3 diagnostics) keeps track of the following tallies and

prints them on the receipt during the print test. See the sample test printout on the next page. These

tallies can be used to determine the printer’s state of health.

 Model number

 Serial number

 CRC number

 Number of lines printed

 Number of knife cuts

 Number of hours the printer has been on

 Number of flash cycles

 Number of cutter jams

 Number of times the cover is opened

 Maximum temperature reached

Paper type can be changed in the

configuration menu.

Moving from the A756 to the TH320

The following table details the list of commands whose behavior differs between the A756 printer and

the A758, TH420, and TH320 printers. This is due to the physical differences of the 6 dots/mm head in

the A756 and the 8 dots/mm head in the A758, TH420 and TH320.

Command Description Difference between theA756 and the TH320.

15 n Fe

n/152 inches.

1B 2

0 n Set right-side character

spacing

This command sets the right side spacing to “n” horizontal

motion units. By default, these units are in terms of

1/203 inches versus 1/152 inches.

1B 2

Moving from the A756, A758 and TH420 to the TH320 (Slip

Differences):

The impact station print zone on the TH420 is 4. 7 inches wide and the print zone on the TH320 is 3.0

inches. To compensate for the narrower print zone on the TH320 the firmware will provide the

following functionality:

 For applications that currently use narrow forms using 42 or fewer columns, an option is provided to

delete x leading spaces. No application or form changes should be required.

 For applications that use narrow forms using 51 or fewer columns, an option is provided to default to

compressed mode. No application or form changes should be required.

 For applications using wide forms that print on less than 51 columns, options 1 and 2 above are

combined with the option to delete trailing spaces. There should be no changes required to the

application but a new form will be required.

 For applications using wide forms that print on more than 51 columns, the data will wrap to the next

line. Modification of the application and the form is required if data wrapping is not desired.

Impact Station Print Zone 4.7inches 3inches

Characters/row–Normal Mode 66 42

Characters/row–Compressed Mode 80 51

See Chapter “Programming the Printer” form or details about the slip print zones. Some commands

have new functionality for the slip and can be configured to been able or disabled on the slip. Existing

applications that use these functions on the receipt but not n the slip may need to be disabled

manually for the slip. The default is disabled for the slip.

This command is available so TH420 applications can ignore n leading spaces in a 42 - column line of

text.

Range of n 0x00 < n < 0x20 hexadecimal

0<n<32 decimal

n=24 decimal is equivalent to printing the right most 42 columns of the TH420 print zone (24+42=66).

The first non-space in columns 1-n will stop ignoring leading spaces. Text over 42 columns will wrap to

the next line.

Range of n 0x00< n <0x20 hexadecimal

0<n<32 decimal

n=29 decimal is equivalent to printing the right most 51 compressed columns of the TH420 print zone

(29+51= 80).

The first non-space in columns 1-n will stop ignoring leading spaces.

Text over 51 columns will wrap to the next line.

read). The format will match the A756/A758/TH420 exactly.

25-line rotated text print accommodates existing applications, which print between 22 and 25 rotated

lines (as read). The format will not match the A756/A758/TH420 exactly.

An A756/A758/TH420 can print up to 33 rotated lines (as read), so those printing 26 or higher rotated

lines, cannot be emulated on theTH320 printer.

lect TH320 Slip Stop Options

Code (Hexadecimal) 1F 03 0D n

The TH420/A758/A756 mechanism has a positive slip stop for positioning a form at its top right corner.

Some applications rely on a form inserted to this slip stop to print on specific areas of the form. When

the top right corner of the form is at the slip stop, the first print line is 0.7" below the top of form. Some

applications rely on the operator manually positioning a form in order to print on specific areas of the

form.

When n = 01 the form is repositioned to 0.7 inches below the top of the form

The TH320 slip stop override option does not reposition an inserted form. (n = 00)

The TH320 slip stop distance option is triggered at the slip selection command (0x1B 0x63 0x30 0x04)

and positions an inserted form prior to print so that the first line of print will match a TH420/A758/A756.

Programming the Printer

Overview of Printing Characteristics

Commands control all operations and functions of the printer. This includes selecting the size and

placement of characters and graphics on the receipt or the slip and feeding and cutting the paper. The

programming commands have been organized, in order of hexadecimal code within functional groups.

For this reason, “related” commands may not be listed adjacent to one another.

The TH320 (TH320) standard command set allows it to work with software written for WN or other POS

compliant printers.

Any of the commands may be used in any combination to program a host computer to communicate with

the printer (unless otherwise noted).

For the printer to operate properly within an Ethernet environment, a specific set of commands must

be set.

Some commands listed and described here may not be implemented and are identified as “not

implemented.” If received, they are ignored and not sent to the print buffer as data.

Any non-legal commands have their parameter sent to the print buffer as data.

Character appearance

The appearance of text can be changed using the following print modes:

 Standard

 Underlined

 Compressed

 Bold

 Double-high

 Reverse

 Double-wide

 Italic

 Upside-down

 Strike-through

 Rotated

 Scaled

 Shading

Receipt character specification

Standard

Characters per inch: 15.6

Characters per line: 44

Cell size: 13 × 24 dots

Compressed

Characters per inch: 20.3

Characters per line: 56
