user wishes for one whole printout to consist of: HEADER, GLP PRINTOUT and
FOOTER and to be cropped underneath the FOOTER then the paper crop
command should be inserted only for FOOTER settings as a non-standard printout
with <%E> value (paper crop for EPSON printer). In such case <SUFFIX>
command must remain empty.
To ensure correct cooperation of the balance with the printer (correct printout with
diacritical signs of a given language) transmission speed, which is obligatory for a
given printer, must be chosen (see the printer settings). Additionally code page of a
sent printout must be accordant with a code page of a printer.
Accordance of a code page may be obtained in two ways:
• setting the right code page in the settings of a printer (see the printer user
manual) – it must be accordant with the printout code page of a balance
(1250 code page for POLISH, CZECH, HUNGARIAN; 1252 for
ENGLISH, GERMAN, SPANISH, FRENCH, ITALIAN; 1254 for
TURKISH),
• sending the control code from the balance, which automatically sets the
right code page of the printer (code page accordant with the one of a
balance) before the printout of data taken from the balance (this
possibility is available only for printers with such option – see a user
manual of the printer)
CAUTION: CODES MUST BE WRITTEN IN A HEXADECIMAL FORM!
Example balance settings for correct cooperation with TM-U220B EPSON matrix
printer connected to RS232 port (since in this printer there is only 852 code page,
there won’t be any polish signs on a printout):
Communication parameters of port to which the printer is connected:
• BAUDRATE - 9600 bit-s
• PARITY – none
Printer parameters for a PERIPHERALS group:
PORT – COM1 or COM2 (the one to which the printer is connected)
PREFIX - 1B742D (1250 code page)
SUFFIX - 1D564108 (paper crop for EPSON printers equipped with an
auto cutter blade)
Example balance settings for correct cooperation (printout of polish signs) with TM-
T20 EPSON termal printer connected to RS232 port; if the printer is connected to
USB port than the transmission speed setttings and parity do not matter:
Communication parameters of port to which the printer is connected:
• BAUDRATE - 38400 bit-s
• PARITY – none
Printer parameters for a PERIPHERALS group:
• PORT – COM1 or COM2 (the one to which the printer is
connected)
• PREFIX - 1B742D (1250 code page)
