v Once characters are downloaded to the printer , they remain valid until you redefine them. This is true even if power to the printer is removed. v Before the characters are defined, the sector of the flash EPROM which stores this data must be erased.
Defined as: X'1B26014848 C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0FFC0FFC0F C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0C0' The above statement defines character X'48' as an ’ H ’ .
v ASCII characters 0 through 31 are reserved for RS-232 functions and cannot be defined. v See Appendix E, “ Proportional Fonts ” on page 165 for suggestions about how to implement proportional fonts. Limitations: The memory required for proportional fonts is much greater than the memory that was required for user-defined fonts.
Impact Code Page Y ou define the character matrix for each code page with MCT #4 for impact code page 1 and MCT #5 for impact code page 2. See T able 15 on page 123. If the matrix defines the characters as 9 dots high or less, a print line will be printed in one pass of the printhead.
Example: 1 1 half-dots wide (or 5.5 full dots) × 9 high Defined as: X'1B26034141FO000800140002001 10000081 100020014000800F000' The above statement defines character X'41' as an ‘ A ’ . Note: The number of data bytes = 2 × dot width (1 1) = 22 bytes.
v Y ou must erase the sector of the flash EPROM where this data is stored before you define the characters. (See “ Erase Flash EPROM Sector ” on page 121.) Y ou must also predefine the character matrix for the impact DBCS code. (See “ Microcode T olerance (MCT) Information - Request ” on page 123.
For example: Data that defines a character at X'8141' as a large box is: X ’ 1B;28;00;01;81;41;FF;FF;FF;FF;FF;FF; C0;00;03;C0;00;03;C0;00;03;C0;00;03;C0;00;03;C0;00;03; C0;00;03;C0;00;03;C.

in-between the lines (4 steps). The actual lines-per-inch will be adjusted. For example, if the printer is set to 1/6-inch line spacing, the printer will line feed 8 steps in-between each line, and the 4 steps inside of the line. The result is 12 steps per line or 4 lines per inch.
Set Sheet Eject Length RS-232 Syntax: ESC C n or X'1B43;n' where: n Specifies the number of line feed steps using minimum units moved when a FF is sent in the receipt station.

Purpose: When the printer is wall-mounted, the front of the printer points up. Therefore, the print data appears upside down when data is printed normally .

2. Send all the data. 3. Release the buffer . The left margin will be rounded down to a factor of 8. For example, if the margin = 74, the logo starts at 72.
Remarks: The margin is ignored if it causes the logo to overrun the line length. Printing this message in the document station at 150 dpi will take three passes of the printhead. These messages can be positioned on the page using the commands for setting positions.
Return Home (Select Printhead Location) RS-232 Syntax: ESC < n or X'1B3C;n' where: n The print-head position: 00 Document home position 01 Open document throat position. The DI station throat will automatically be closed if the CR station is exercised.

Appendix D. Uploading Electronic Journal Data This section describes the procedure for uploading electronic journal (EJ) data while the SureMark is in Model 4 emulation mode. T o put the SureMark into the mode for starting the EJ upload, the SureMark must receive a print command with a unique message.
Remarks: In response to this command, the printer will send four status bytes, then 43 bytes of print data, followed by the line number . The line number will be sent as decimal ASCII numbers. Request the Size of the EJ Space Command Syntax: X'0101xxxxxx'^EJSIze n1 where: n1 30 undefined bytes Example: X'010100010C5E454A204449.
Appendix E. Proportional Fonts This section describes the procedure for converting and downloading proportional fonts. It also gives recommendations that will simplify implementing proportional fonts on a receipt. Preparing the Fonts Downloading proportional fonts to the SureMark is a 2-step process: 1.
v Unlike other Align Position commands, the Align Positions-Align Column Right command can be sent in the middle of a print line. Print characters sent before the alignment command will be left aligned, while characters sent after the alignment command will be right aligned.
3. Issue the Fix Font Matrix command with n =dot width of the widest number used. The command syntax is X'1B 3A xx'. Note: Finding the optimum value of xx for this command will vary depending on the proportional character set being used, and may require some experimentation.

Ein wichtiger Punkt beim Kauf des Geräts IBM TM7 (oder sogar vor seinem Kauf) ist das durchlesen seiner Bedienungsanleitung. Dies sollten wir wegen ein paar einfacher Gründe machen:
Wenn Sie IBM TM7 noch nicht gekauft haben, ist jetzt ein guter Moment, um sich mit den grundliegenden Daten des Produkts bekannt zu machen. Schauen Sie zuerst die ersten Seiten der Anleitung durch, die Sie oben finden. Dort finden Sie die wichtigsten technischen Daten für IBM TM7 - auf diese Weise prüfen Sie, ob das Gerät Ihren Wünschen entspricht. Wenn Sie tiefer in die Benutzeranleitung von IBM TM7 reinschauen, lernen Sie alle zugänglichen Produktfunktionen kennen, sowie erhalten Informationen über die Nutzung. Die Informationen, die Sie über IBM TM7 erhalten, werden Ihnen bestimmt bei der Kaufentscheidung helfen.
Wenn Sie aber schon IBM TM7 besitzen, und noch keine Gelegenheit dazu hatten, die Bedienungsanleitung zu lesen, sollten Sie es aufgrund der oben beschriebenen Gründe machen. Sie erfahren dann, ob Sie die zugänglichen Funktionen richtig genutzt haben, aber auch, ob Sie keine Fehler begangen haben, die den Nutzungszeitraum von IBM TM7 verkürzen könnten.
Jedoch ist die eine der wichtigsten Rollen, die eine Bedienungsanleitung für den Nutzer spielt, die Hilfe bei der Lösung von Problemen mit IBM TM7. Sie finden dort fast immer Troubleshooting, also die am häufigsten auftauchenden Störungen und Mängel bei IBM TM7 gemeinsam mit Hinweisen bezüglich der Arten ihrer Lösung. Sogar wenn es Ihnen nicht gelingen sollte das Problem alleine zu bewältigen, die Anleitung zeigt Ihnen die weitere Vorgehensweise – den Kontakt zur Kundenberatung oder dem naheliegenden Service.
