3.4 Other codes (1) DC 1 (Device Control 1) The DC 1 code places the Printer in the Selected state. It enables the Printer to receive data. With the Printer in the Selected state, if the DC 1 code is input during data transfer, all data stored before the DC 1 code is ignored. (2) DC 3 (Device Control 3) The DC 3 code places the Printer in the Deselected state. In other words, it disables the Printer to receive data. Once the Printer is put in the Deselected state by the DC 3 code, the Printer will not revert to the Selected state unless the DC 1 code is input again. NOTE: When the DC 1 and DC 3 codes are used, the DIP switch pin l-8 on the control circuit board should be in the "OFF" position. 1. [DATA] [PRINT] m AAAAA m-j BBBBB ra CCCCC m B AAFIAACCCCC 2.

With the DIP switch pin l-6 on the control circuit board set in the ON position, the Printer is placed in the ESC 8 condition upon application of power. (4) ESC 9 (Escape 9) This code cancels the ESC 8 condition, and reinstates the PE signal. Therefore, the Printer cannot receive data when there is no paper.

3.4 Other codes
(1)
DC 1
(Device Control 1)
The DC 1 code places the Printer in the Selected state. It enables the Printer to
receive data.
With the Printer in the Selected state, if the DC 1 code is input during data
transfer, all data stored before the DC 1 code is ignored.
(2)
DC 3
(Device Control 3)
The DC 3 code places the Printer in the Deselected state. In other words, it dis-
ables the Printer to receive data. Once the Printer is put in the Deselected state
by the DC 3 code, the Printer will not revert to the Selected state unless the DC 1
code is input again.
NOTE:
When the DC 1 and DC 3 codes are used, the DIP switch pin l-8 on the
control circuit board should be in the “OFF” position.

(3)
ESC 8
(Escape 8) (to ignore the Paper End detector)
The ESC 8 code makes it possible to transmit data even if there is no paper in
the Printer. Since this code causes the PE signal to be ignored, data may be
printed to the last page of the form without waste of paper. With the DIP switch
pin l-6 on the control circuit board set in the ON position, the Printer is placed in
the ESC 8 condition upon application of power.
(4)
ESC 9
(Escape 9)
This code cancels the ESC 8 condition, and reinstates the PE signal.
Therefore, the Printer cannot receive data when there is no paper. With the DIP
switch pin l-6 set in the OFF position, the Printer is placed in the ESC 9 condi-
tion upon application of power.
(5) BEL
(Bell)
When the BEL code is input, the buzzer sounds for about 1 second.
Arbitrary use of this code is recommended to arouse the attention of the opera-
tor.
