1. Change First version released to customer Small modification of burn time Bar code type 128 added With earlier FW versions it could happen that the print height became reduced when the printer got extremely hot This was caused by a problem in the stepper motor drive IC The problem was solved with a minor modification of the firmware At power ON the firmware senses whether there is a solder jumper in position SW4 standard and if so presets the burn time parameter value to ESC q 10 The jumper should always be installed when the printhead is supplied with 20 V This is the case in all TTP 101 printers from serial number 8506 since they have a built in 20 V regulator With earlier printer versions the solder jumper SW4 should be installed only if the printer control board is supplied with 20 V If the supply voltage is between 20 V and 24 V the solder jumper SW4 must be removed to prevent printhead damage The burn time value will then be preset to the value ESC q 5 at power ON but can be adjusted by issuing the ESC q command during printing Also see page 11 Presenter motor speed increased to ensure proper paper edge pickup at graphics printout Danish characters included Paper low detection by using ESC ENQ 05H now supported for parallel interface An error in the ESC ENQ 01H function causing only ACK messages to be reported has been fixed Command ESC ENQ 02H added Syntax 1BH 05H 02H2. 27 BW b1 b2 0 decimal Fills the bar code area reserved by the ESC BS command with bar code data to be printed b1 b2 NUL Specifies the block 0 15 Blocks can be specified in any order but other values than 0 15 are ignored Specifies bar code data bytes Must be placed at the end of the bar code data Any invalid bar code character terminates the command Print out is effected by an ESC P command TTP 101 Kiosk Printer Installation Manual 9708 ESC DC d1 Clear comment block area 1BH DC d1 27 DC d1 decimal Clears the comment block area reserved by the ESC DS command d1 Specifies the comment block 0 15 to be cleared Comment blocks can be specified in any sequence but other values than 0 15 are ignored Of command codes specified before this command only ESC T n reverse printing remains in effect after execution of ESC DC d1 ESC DS d1 d2 d7 Reserve comment block area 9708 1BH DS d1 d2 27 DS d1 d2 decimal Reserves a comment block area within a document length defined by the ESC A command The command also specifies the type orientation and number of comment columns to be placed in the comment block area d1 Specifies comment block number 0 15 Comment blocks can be specified in any sequence but other values than 0 15 are ignored d2d3 Specifies the X coordinate of the comment block position d2 is the higher and d3 the low order byte Paramet
