Need help?Do you have a question about the ABLE AP1200 and is the answer not in the manual?
Covers protocols for dot-addressable graphics, including alignment, scaling, and dot sizes for different graphics modes.
Explains the format used for describing commands, including common labels, parameters as ASCII characters, hexadecimal values, and decimal numbers.
Introduces extended commands specific to Able Systems, directing users to the SETTING INTERNAL CONFIGURATION INFORMATION section.
Covers various dot-addressable graphics modes including doubled-up, tripled-up, quadrupled-up, and plain 24-dot graphics, detailing their encoding and vertical contiguity.
Allows printing barcodes using provided data, specifying barcode type and data format, with various barcode types supported.
Describes the bitwise encoding of the STATUS byte, reporting on sensor status, mechanism running, buffer status, and error conditions.
Details commands used for setting and querying internal configuration values, listing parameters like Baud rate, serial number, and LED patterns.
Explains how to set communication parameters like baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits using the ESC,"X",04H command.
Details the command to set the auto-sleep timeout period, defining inactivity before entering sleep mode, and its effect on buffer purging.
Explains setting MaxDotsAtOnce to control instantaneous current draw by limiting energised dots, affecting print speed and battery consumption.
Details the command to force an immediate save of all configuration settings to flash memory, noting the printer goes busy during the process.
Sets the auto-sleep timeout period specifically for when the printer is in Spooling mode, defining a default period.
Explains setting the Auto-Save-to-Flash period, which enables automatic saving of configuration changes after inactivity.
Recommends manually saving configuration information to Flash using the ESC,"X",30H command for non-volatility.
Explains that the printer automatically saves configuration changes when transitioning to sleep mode.
Describes the automatic timed save feature, which saves configuration after inactivity, and how to enable it.
Explains how to query the communication parameters like baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits, which are reported as an ASCII string.
Explains how to query the auto-sleep timeout period, reported as a 16-bit value in seconds.
Details how to query real-time voltage and temperature, reporting battery voltage and printhead temperature, along with charger status.
Explains how to query the MaxDotsAtOnce value, which controls current draw by limiting energised dots.
Explains how to query the sleep period value for Spooling mode.
Details how to query the Auto-Save period value for saving configuration to flash.
Provides a summary of commands related to print formatting, buffer control, and volatile settings.
Summarizes how real-time status information like mechanism, buffer, and spool mode status is reported.
