Appendix D: Custom Protocol Command Codes
SATO Programming Reference Page D--3
DOWNLOAD PROCEDURE
The procedure for downloading a custom Protocol Command Code set is:
1. Reset the printer to the default settings using the Reset procedure.
2. Place DIP switch DS2-7 in the ON position.
3. Turn the POWER switch ON while simultaneously pressing the LINE switch. This
places the printer in the USER DOWNLOAD mode.
4. Set DIP switch DS2-7 in the position to accept the Protocol Control codes to be
used for downloading (i.e. DS2-7 = OFF for Standard codes and DS2-7 ON to use
the Alternate set).
5. Press the LINE key to place the printer in the ON-LINE mode. The LINE LED
should be on and the printer is ready to receive the download command data
stream.
6. After the command has been sent, the unit will beep and print a status label. If it
does not beep and print the label, the printer did not accept the data.
7. If the printer does not beep and print a setting label, turn the printer off, check your
download command stream for errors and start the download process over at step
1.
8. If the custom codes are correct, press the FEED key to accept them and terminate
the download process. If they are incorrect, turn the unit off without pressing the
FEED key and begin the download process again at step 1.
