198 SATO RISC Printers
7. Custom Protocol Command Codes Programming Manual
7.2 Download Command Structure
The command for downloading a new set of Protocol Command Codes
takes the form of <ESC>LD,a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i. The parameters specified for
“a” through “i” can be transmitted in either ASCII characters or hex nota-
tion, allowing a complete 128 character (except for the “,”) set to be used
for selecting the custom code.
If the custom Protocol Command codes are incorrect or if the printer does
not respond to commands using the custom set, the Alternate Protocol
Control Codes can be restored by the following procedure:
1. Turn the printer off.
2. Place DIP switch DS2-7 in the ON position.
3. Turn power on while simultaneously pressing the
FEED
and
LINE
switches.
4. When the message “ALT PROTOCOL DEFAULT COMPLETED”
appears on the display turn the printer off.
For printers that do not have a display panel and the completion of the
Protocol Default is signified by a single “beep”. Once this beep is
heard, then turn the printer off.
5. When the printer is powered up again, the Alternate Protocol Com-
mand Code set will be active. All previous custom settings will be lost.
