5-5 Error Detection

The printer detects Parity, Framing and Overrun Error.

When any error is detected, the data is printed out as (7FH).

Framing Error;

Framing error occurs when SPACE signal is checked out at STOP BIT and the printer print out (7FH).

Parity Error;

Parity check is carried out only when user designates it on the printer pre-setting.

Input Control and Buffering; (over-run-error)

The printer is designed to output DTR signals for each word. If the host computer neglects DTR signal and transmits the data, it may cause the “OVER-RUN ERROR”.

In order to avoid such case, set up the host computer to observe DTR signals from the printer by following the connector pin assignments described in 5-2.

Other errors

When an error is detected at the printer mechanism, SEL / ALARM light is flickered.

FAULT signal becomes SPACE states, DTR signal becomes BUSY status. Then printer becomes OFF LINE.

After the error is corrected, SEL / ALARM light becomes off by pushing SEL switch.

The reception of data is resumed when SEL switch is pushed again.
