Remarks:
When set to not automatically release the print buffer after error correction
(bit #2), the printer does not execute commands until it receives a
“Real-time requests” on page 175 command to cancel or release the print
buffer.
When automatic retry on a home error is selected, the printer will try to
reset the print head to a known location, then reprint the line on which the
error occurred. If the printer is unable to reset the print head, operator
intervention is needed.
An error will be sent back to the system and the LED will blink.
Define document wait time
EIA-232 Syntax:
ESC f xyor X'1B66;x;y'
where:
xTime the printer should wait, from receiving a print line for the
document station until the document is inserted.
If the document has not been detected by the time the wait time
ends, a document error is sent to the system. The system continues
to wait for a document to be inserted.
WaitTime=x*0.5seconds
yDelay from the time the document is detected until it is grabbed by
the printer (start of document printing):
vSide insertion - closes the document throat.
vFront insertion - pulls the document into the printer and feeds it
to its top of form.
Delay=y×0.1seconds
Defaults:
x=02y=03
Remarks:
Ify=0,theprinterdoes not grab the document. The operator must use the
document feed button to pull the document into the printer.
Ifx=0,theprinternever sends error status if no print data is sent to the
document station.
This value is stored in the EEPROM in the printer so that it is not lost when
the printer is reset.
