2.3.2. Printer Port
The printer can be connected using the following interfaces.
• Parallel Interface
• Serial Interface
• USB Interface (Windows98 Second Edition, Windows 2000 or Windows XP only)
• Ethernet Interface
It is recommended that connection to the parallel interface be made when printing at high speed.
Also, if you desire to print at higher speeds, set the operating mode for your parallel port on the ECP mode in your computer’s
BIOS settings.
When using a parallel interface with Windows2000, XP, use the ESD_LPTx port. If ESD_LPTx is not displayed, select
LPTx.
[Caution]
• With some computers, if the ECP mode is set for the parallel port-operating mode, it may become impossible to print
normally or to use Status Monitor API. In this case, clear the ECP Mode setting.
• When connecting a serial, use the cable of the following wiring.

3. Printer Settings
Here, paper size, resolution and print quality settings are explained. For other items, see the Windows Help menu.
3.1. Paper Size
This specifies the paper size used when printing. Also, for the paper sizes that can be specified in each driver, see Appendix
A.
In Windows 95/98, this can be set from the paper screen in the printer’s “Properties” dialog. In Windows NT 4.0, it can be set
in the advanced screen of the printer’s “Document Default” dialog. In Windows 2000/XP, it can be set in the advanced screen
of the printer’s “Printing Preferences” dialog.
[Caution]
• There are several paper widths. Specify the paper size with a width that matches the specifications of the printer you are
using.
• If you are printing in Microsoft Word, etc., if you set the left and right margins at 0 mm, you can print over the printer’s
full printable range.
• A user defined size can be used in Windows 95/98. Specify the following values for printing width for each printer and
each paper size. Furthermore, the left and right margins should be specified in some drivers.

3.3. Paper Source
This selects the paper cutting method in accordance with the paper feed selection. For the paper cutting methods that can be
specified with each driver, see Appendix A.
In Windows 95/98, it can be set in the graphics screen of the printer’s “Properties” dialog.
In Windows NT 4.0, it can be set in the advanced screen of the printer’s “Document Default” dialog.
In Windows 2000/XP, it can be set in the advanced screen of the printer’s “Printing Preferences” dialog.
[Caution]
The paper cutting method us for each respective paper feed method is as shown below.
• In the case of a Report, paper feeding is not executed between pages, but after all the pages are printed, paper feeding and
paper cutting are executed.
• In the case of a form, paper feeding is carried out between pages, with paper being feed and cut in page units.
• If a Report [No Cut] or Form [No. Cut] is specified, only paper feeding is executed and paper cutting is not performed.
• In the “Report [No Feed] setting, the paper is not fed and the paper is not cut between pages or after all the printing is
completed.
• If Slip is specified, sheets are delivered one page at a time.
3.4. Print Quality
This specifies the print quality. For the print qualities that can be specified by each driver, see Appendix A.
In Windows 95/98, it can be set in the graphics screen of the printer’s “Properties” dialog.
In Windows NT 4.0, it can be set in the advanced screen of the printer’s “Document Default” dialog.
In Windows 2000/XP, it can be set in the advanced screen of the printer’s “Printing Preferences” dialog.

4. Printer Fonts
In this driver, it is possible to print using printer fonts other than True Type fonts. In cases where you desire to print at high
speed, please use printer fonts. For the printer fonts that can be specified by each driver, see Appendix A. Also, for the point
sizes that can be specified for each printer font, see Appendix B.
[Caution]
• Fonts with an “[Ext.]” included in the font name are supported in the English version driver only, and use the arrangement
of the IBM expanded character set.
• Fonts with an “[254]” “[255]” included in the font name use page 254,255(Space page) of the TM printer.
4.1. Example of Printer Font Printing
Using the “WordPad” program which accompanies Windows 95 as an example, here we will show the printer font print
procedure. However, the printer fonts are not available in WordPad bundled with WindowsNT4.0. Please use the other
applications.
1 Select the printer font to be used from the font list.
2 Select the size from the font sizes.
3 Input a character string.
4 Execute printing.

5. Printing Bar Codes
In this driver, a printer font forprinting bar codes is also provided. For the bar code fonts that can be specified by each driver,
see Appendix A. Select the printer font corresponding to the bar code type to be printed, then simply enter the code to print
bar code. However, no bar code image is displayed in the application’s editing screen. Input codes are displayed in text
format. Printing of bar codes with HRI characters included can also be done. Please refer to the chapter on special functions
concerning this method.
5.1. List of Bar Codes
Printer Font Name Size
Codabar 20/40/60/80
Code39 20/40/60/80
JAN13[EAN] 20/40/60/80
JAN8[EAN] 20/40/60/80
ITF 20/40/60/80
UPC-A 20/40/60/80
UPC-E 20/40/60/80
Code93 20/40/60/80
Code128 20/40/60/80
5.2. Cautions on Printing Bar Code
1. When choosing printer font Code128, the code set selection character (which is “{A", “{B", “{C") must be always
specified at the head of the text.
For example, specify “{B1234", when printing letter “1234".
2. When choosing printer fonts Code93, Code128 from the program of VC and VB, and printing them,
char 00h-1Fh cannot be printed, used A0h-BFh instead.
For example, when printing control character 'CR' (code 0Dh) in Code93, the output code is as follows.

6. Printing Two-dimensional Codes
This driver also provides fonts for printing two-dimensional codes. For the two-dimensional code fonts that can be specified
by each driver, see Appendix A. Select the printer font corresponding to the bar code type to be printed, then simply enter the
code to print two-dimensional bar code.
6.1. List of Two-dimensional Codes
Font Name
PDF417
QR Code
Maxi Code
6.2. Cautions on Two-dimensional Codes
1. Use the two-dimensional code parameter setting tool (2D Code Tool), for specifying the various parameters necessary for
two-dimensional code printing, such as the symbol size and error correction level. For how to use the tool, see to “11.1.
2D Code Tool”.
2. When using applications such as Word or Wordpad to create code data, the contents displayed by the applications will
differ from the actual printed results. The applications only display character strings; they do not show the actual
two-dimensional codes.
3. When choosing printer fonts for two-dimensional codes from the program of VC++ and VB, and printing them, char
00h-1Fh cannot be printed.
4. The mode2 and mode3 on the Maxi Code is not supported.
6.3. Example of Two-dimensional Code Printing
The Two-dimensional Code printing procedure is shown here using the “WordPad” editor that accompanies Windows 95.
However, the printer fonts are not available in WordPad bundled with WindowsNT4.0. Please use the other applications.
1 Select the printer font for the Two-dimensional code
you desire to use from the font list.
2 Select the size from among the available font sizes.
3 Input the code data.
4 Execute printing.
The input data will be printed out as a Two-dimensional
code.
