Default Value

The default values indicated are "factory default settings" you get by sending 

<ESC>&<F>

. These are not necessarily the settings that your printer was originally delivered with because many printers have customized settings when delivered.

Examples

Command examples are formatted in Courier and typed in the same way as used in the

Zebra Toolbox:

<ESC>&P<1><19>

Where <ESC>

means the escape character 27 decimal (hex 1B). Numbers between less-than and greater-than characters, for example <015>, means 15 decimal (hex F).

Disable Parallel Port Signaling

Pins 12 and 15 on the parallel port signals paper out and error. However, in an unattended kiosk you may not want this because it causes the host computer to stop communicating, and the operating system may display a banner on the kiosk screen.

By disabling the hardware signals, the kiosk software can for example use status commands to find out paper level and alert appropriate personnel when the level is low, then close the kiosk when paper is out.

<ESC>&P<5><0>

<ESC>&P<5><1>

No, paper out and error signals are not disabled

Yes, paper out and error signals are disabled

Note • When enabled, the hardware signal on pin 12 and 15 will block all communication until the error is corrected. This means that it will be impossible to ask for status.

Burn Time DRV

Note •

A long burn time gives darker print. On insensitive paper types you may have to increase the burn time to get an acceptable print quality.

Presenter Loop Length

Limits the maximum loop length. When the set length is reached, the printer ejects part of the printout and continues too print. You use this when you have very limited space for the loop inside the kiosk. Each step represents a 3.2-cm increment.

Setting the parameter to 0 disables the looping and feeds the paper straight out.

Tab Stop

Stores 16 different TAB stop positions. The position is set in increments of 2.5-mm.

Tab position 255 sets a tab stop on the last position of the line. Use this if you want underline or reversed text to extend across the full paper width.

To set all tab stops at once, follow the procedure Set several parameters at once on page 55

.

To move a single tab stop, use the set parameter command <ESC>&P.

Example • This example sets the first tab stop 25 mm from the left margin.

Default positions are one TAB on each cm; that is parameter values 4, 8, 12 etc.

Black Mark Mode

When enabled, marks on the paper set the form length. Minimum one form length is always fed. If a black mark is found before that, the printer feeds to the next black mark, then cuts and ejects. This ensures that no small paper stripes are cut of and left in the printer. Note that this parameter is used when loading paper and when pressing the Feed button. So even if black mark is enabled in the Windows driver and works, parameters for black mark must be set up correctly.

Fixed Document Mode. Shorter documents will automatically be extended, while longer documents will be divided into several pages of the desired length. Page length will be the length set by parameters 37 and 38

Variable Document Mode. The length of the page varies with the contents (printouts shorter than the value specified by parameters 37 and 38 will be extended to that length)

Black Mark Mode. Marks on the paper set the form length.

Minimum one form length is always fed. If a black mark is found before that, the printer feeds to the next black mark, then cuts and ejects. This ensures that no small paper stripes are cut of and left in the printer.

Note • Max page length in Fixed Document Mode is A5-size, which is 148.5 mm.

BM (Black Mark) Length DRV

Specifies the length of the black mark in 0.125-mm steps. Measure the length of the black mark on your paper and enter that value here.

Marks 5 mm longer than this value are interpreted as paper out. The default value of 80 equals

10 mm.

Min BM (Black Mark) Length “Mark Filter” DRV

This parameter specifies the minimum length of the black mark in 0.125 mm increments.

Shorter marks are ignored. The default value of 24 equals 3 mm. This filters out pre-print or marks on the paper. If the mark is smaller than the value set for this parameter, it will not be regarded as a TOF black mark. A value equal to 1/3 the length of a TOF black mark is usually the most effective.

Sets min black mark length to 4 mm.

Top Margin

Defines the distance between the top of the paper and the top of the first text line in 0.125 mm steps. The top margin feed is effectuated when the presenter is cleared from the previous page.

0 = disabled top margin. This gives the physical top margin of the printer, which is 17 mm.

Avoid settings 1 – 16 mm because then the printer must reverse the paper before starting to print, which may cause paper jam, especially at small roll diameters.

Eject Calibration Constant DRV

Sets the eject length of the printout, that is the length of paper that protrudes outside the printer after a cut command. This eject length should be 40-63 mm. Marks on the test printout show max and min eject length.

The default value when loading firmware is 40, but should be set individually from printer to printer. The set value is shown in a line on the test printout.

After sending the command, store the parameters, and wait until the presenter motor buzzes.

Then make a self test printout to check if the set eject length is correct.

Example • This example sets parameter 47 to 50 and stores the parameters as default settings

Automatic Distance Calculation

"Automatic Distance Calculation" means advancing the paper with the Head-To-Cutter distance (17 mm on the TTP 70x0).

Set to 1 if the printer is used in text mode and 0 if it is used from a driver that takes care of this in the driver.
