    1. INSTALLATION AND USE (for example 1.5 msec at 9600 bps). The reason is for Half Duplex type of infrared line communication. As a result the Busy condition check must be waited when transmitting data to the printer. If said condition would slow down print-out, it is alternatively possible to transmit the bytes to be printed in fixed length blocks (for example 16 bytes at a time) and to wait for the necessary time to receive a likely XON/XOFF.

The infrared port is centered on the power part of the front (see fig. 2.4); it uses the encode method bits as described in the IrDA physical layer, for speeds up to 115.2 kbps (a 3/16th optical pulse time of bit time).

  • Page 23: Standard Mode

    2. INTERFACES It is possible to communicate with the printer in two different ways: by sending a string of characters and/or commands preceded by the IR port Open command and followed by a Close command (standard mode), or by utilizing a simple transfer protocol that guarantees that data is compressed correctly by the printer. 2.2.1 Standard Mode To utilize the printer in standard mode, set the “IR protocol”...
  • Page 24 2. INTERFACES DATA [LUNG bytes] = data to be communicated to the printer. The datafield may include both data to be printed and command characters (see Section 3 “Printer Functions”). ID JOB [1byte] = ID of the data packet received. The $00 value of this data field is reserved. This number must be different for each transmission: a data packet with the same ID JOB as the previous data packet is formally accepted (an ACK message is transmitted), but it is not interpreted by the printer.
