Landscape mode
Landscape mode printing is primarily for printing the face of a check.
Notes on landscape printing:
v Lines you send to print start at the bottom of the form, against the right stop,
and continue to the top of the form, to a maximum of 80 mm from the bottom
of the form. This is because the bottom of the form is known (against the right
stop) and the top of the form is unknown to the printer.
v Different lengths of paper allow different print-line lengths. Therefore, the
application must know the size of the print line.
v The printer calculates the length of a document it is to print. To do that, it must
feed the document up past the bottom sensor and back to the top sensor. (On a
5-inch document this takes 2 seconds.) If a MICR read was done previously, the
length was calculated at that time.
v When landscape mode is used without the check flipper, the document should
be inserted so that the right edge is at the top of the printer, and the bottom
edge is against the printer's right wall.
v To position the printing in landscape mode to the correct position, the system
must send line feeds. The printer assumes that the top of form for a document
in landscape mode is the far left edge of the document (to a maximum of 80 mm
from the bottom of the form).
v Line feeding is 5 steps per mm or 21 steps per line, at 6 LPI.
v All landscape printing must be done with one printing pass. Therefore:
– Double-high printing is not allowed.
– User-defined characters greater than 9 dots high are not allowed.
v There is no error recovery for landscape printing.
v Set print station to document landscape mode to print the face of the check as it
comes out of the flipper mechanism.
Landscape printing commands
1. ESC f (x) (y): Set up document wait time
Same as for portrait mode.
2. ESC c 0 X'08': Select document station - landscape print mode:
A If the document was not previously loaded:
v The document present indicator blinks until a document is
detected.
v Once detected, the document will be grabbed by the printer and
fed to the right margin on the document. Because the document
is inserted on its side, this is at the top of the printer.
v If a document is not detected within the wait time (specified in
the ESC f command), the printer sends error status to the
system, and continues to wait.
The system can either cancel the print buffer, deleting all data in
the print buffer, or wait for a document to be inserted.
The printer appears to be hung until an action is taken.
B If the document was previously loaded, the printer feeds the paper
to the right margin on the document.
