INSTALLATION Power Supply clean power supply required power Ap25S. rise time supply must short enough give valid reset signal controller chip. recommended that power supply controller circuits separate from supply mechanism motor solenoid circuits, minimise interference. event that power supply adequate power Ap25S, board Circuitry will hold printer reset avoid damage which occur printer mechanism. Compliance component, Ap25S outside scope Directive user must take responsibility compliance complete equipment installation. OPERATION PROGRAMMING Busy Output Signal controller asserts Busy output when input buffer character away from being full. following character will, however, loaded into input buffer. This avoids data being lost host responding busy signal immediately (such with double-buffered UART PC). Printing modes data buffer Printing modes include graphics, inverted, double height double width. Graphics mode cancelled every line, whereas combinations double height width remain force until cancelled command. Ap25S will print data before ESCape code then implement mode selection. data buffer accommodates bytes, which extend over many physical print lines, depending mechanism data format; data entering buffer previous data being printed. Character Printing Ap25S prints characters from left right. characters into wide high matrix. standard letter wide high, this provides space between each character, line descenders line above below each character line. number characters required fill line varies according printer, follows: Printer Ap25-24S Ap25-32S Ap25-40S Characters line characters line characters line characters line Lines second lines/second lines/second lines/second Vertical pitch 0.33mm 0.33mm 0.33mm Horizontal pitch 0.33mm 0.25mm 0.20mm
ASCII characters using backwards compatible character set) printable range. character below character ignored unless control codes (section 5.7).

Graphics Printing product programmed take advantage graphics printing capability mechanisms. Graphics received least significant bits each byte. this same number graphics bytes required terminate line number characters required print complete line. graphics mode reset every line hence graphics command, <ESC><02>, must entered start every line. Graphics patterns built succession lines across paper. number bytes required fill line each mechanism same number characters required fill line. Large areas solid dots recommended they cause over heating shorten ribbon life. Heavy graphics printing also require higher current power supply. typical graphics line Ap25S would Control code Data bytes Ap25-24S) <ESC><02> <00><00><01><02><03><04><05> etc. Control Codes character sets which selected backwards compatibility. default character 224-character set. Previous versions Ap24 family have been supplied programmed with character sets, French, German, "Scandinavian", Danish/Norwegian, Swedish, Japanese Spanish character variations (often special order). Ap25S contains these variants, which software selected backwards compatibility. data selected when using character set, otherwise data ignored. structure command follows: <ESC><127><n> Country selection: Character Full (default) French German Scandinavian Danish Swedish Japanese Spanish where byte form [X,X,X,X,B3,B2,B1,B0] don't care)

Mode selection: Print Mode Default Inverted (reversed) Graphics mode Double width mode Double height mode combination modes permissible.

Directive 89/336/EC (Disclaimer) Please note that item which enclosed application data refer designed used component another finished good, intended placed market brought into service independently. system integrator using this item must assume responsibility Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) between this item environment, both emissions immunity/susceptibility. Particular attention should paid wiring connections between item power supply, data source other parts user's system case special shielding and/or cable layout required meet applicable criteria. Ap25S Series Panel-Mounting Printers assist customers, have carried traceable pre-compliance tests most popular Ap24 printer (predecessor Ap25S), which indicate that printer itself unlikely prevent compliance customer's equipment, follows: Since Ap25S powered will only electrically connected within equipment, conducted emissions immunity relevant, consider that Ap25S falls outside scope Regulations these regards. When fitted earthed steel case connected internal data source power supply, Ap25S expected comply with requirements Directive respect radiated emissions immunity; When fitted with earthing wire mechanism, Ap25S also expected comply with requirements respect electrostatic discharge (ESD). Earth Connection Screening Sleeve Able Systems Ap25S Series printers fitted with earthing wire attached metal chassis printer mechanism. other wire will supplied attached panel clamp eyelet. Users recommended make sound earth connection this point, that metal parts printer electrically bonded earthed parts user's equipment. steel enclosure (Ap25S Sleeve) rear Ap25S Series, which replaces panel clamp, available provide additional screening required.
