yDelay from the time the document is detected until it is grabbed by
the printer (the start of document printing):
vSide insertion - closes the document throat.
vFront insertion - pulls the document into the printer and feeds it
to the Topof Form.
2. ESC c 0 X'04': Select document station - normal print mode:
The document present indicator blinks until a document is detected, when it
stays on continuously.
vIf the document is inserted from the front, it is fed to the first print
position after the document wait time. Then commands in the printer
buffer begin executing.
vIf the document is inserted from the side, printing starts at the location
where it was inserted.
(The document throat must be open to insert the document from the
side.) Manually, open the throat by pressing and then releasing both
buttons. Youcan also open it with these commands - ESC q or ESC <
X'01'.
If a document is not detected within the wait time (specified in the ESC f
command), the printer sends error status to the system, and continues to
wait.
Notes:
1. The system can either cancel the print buffer, thereby deleting all
data in the print buffer, or wait for a document to be inserted.
2. Models TI9/TG9 do not support side insertion. Alignment to a
particular line can be done using the buttons and the reverse line
feed command.
The printer appears to be hung until an action is taken.
3. Send print lines to be printed in this station.
4. Final handling.
Youhave an option on final handling, finish printing and either eject the
document or open the document throat to allow manual removal of the
document:
FF: Print and Eject Document.
Finish printing and eject the document.
Landscape mode
Landscape mode printing is primarily for printing the face of a check.
Notes on landscape printing:
vLines you send to print start at the bottom of the form, against the right stop, and
continue to the top of the form, to a maximum of 80 mm from the bottom of the
form. This is because the bottom of the form is known (against the right stop)
and the top of the form is unknown to the printer.
vDifferent lengths of paper allow different print-line lengths. Therefore, the
application must know the size of the print line.
vThe printer calculates the length of a document it is to print. Todo that, it must
feed the document up past the bottom sensor and back to the top sensor. (On a
5-inch document this takes 2 seconds.) If a MICR read was done previously, the
length was calculated at that time.
