- The JP and US columns above indicate whether the font is available on JP and US drivers, respectively. A "OK" means that the font is available; an "NO" means that it is not available. - Although the TM-L60II / J8000 driver is provided in both JP and US types, note that neither type supports the Myocho font. - The "[RED]" indication means that the font prints in red ink. - Fonts used with US drivers are either "non-extended" and "extended." (Extended fonts are marked by the "Ext." suffix in the table above.) If you are using an extended font, character codes 80H and above will print extended characters. If you are using a non-extended font, these codes are assigned to special printer functions (as described
below), so that the corresponding extended characters cannot be printed. - The Euro font does support printing of TM PrinterDriver English edition. But, in the TM printer driver of TM-U200B/L60, it isn't supporting Euro Font. -For Printer Model: TM-U675/H6000, both xxxcpi printer font and xxxcpi[Ext.] printer font of these printer model use CP1252 of MS-Windows code page. When using prnter font of these models, take note to the following point. -TM Printer Driver for these models don't include xxxcpi[Euro] font. You can print Euro symbol using xxxcpi or xxxcpi[Ext.] fonts. - xxxcpi font doesn't include special function. You must use control printer font when using supecial function. - DM-D 1st Line font is used for displaying text at the 1st line of the Customer Display. - DM-D 2nd Line font is used for displaying text at the 2nd line of the Customer Display. - For printer TM-J8000, using font 10cpi[OCR] only "SP+,-0123456789<>".

4.2. Bar-Code Printing

The following printers support bar-code printing. TM-T285, TM-T88II, TM-T88IIR, TM-L6011, TM-L60, TM-H5000II, TM-J8000, TM-H6000, TM-U675
Bar-code printer drivers are available for each of these printers. To print a bar code on these printers, you simply select the font whose name corresponds to the desired bar-code type. Note that application editing windows will display text only; they will not display the bar-code image that will be produced on the printout.

The drivers can print HRI characters together with the bar code. For information, see Section 3.3, "Special Functions," directly below. If you find that you are unable to print barcodes on Windows NT4.0,Windows2000, you can correct the problem by reducing the left margin to its lowest possible value. Sometimes the barcode may not be able to print continuously in Windows NT4.0 and Windows2000. You sould specify HRI characters each time this problem occurs.

4.3. Special Functions

The TM printer drivers can be used to execute a variety of special non-printing functions, as indicated in the table below. You can execute these functions by selecting the printer's special "control font" and then sending the appropriate character code to the driver. (Note that you cannot use the control font to print normal characters.) You can also execute these commands by issuing codes 80H above when using non-extended printer fonts (all fonts other than those marked by "Ext." in the printer font table in Section 4.1 above). But, The TM-U675/H6000 printer doesn't support.

"ControlA" font is provided as an inherent special function for the TM-U230.By using with a command defined file (TmCtrla.ini), you can designate a desired command string as the "ControlA" font arbitrary character (a character code with a range between 20 to 7F). Details on how to use this are as follows:
1. ControlA command defined files: [File Name] TmCtrla.ini [Installation destination] The printer processor folder for each OS: 95/98. The OS System folder NT/2K. The OS System32\Spool\Prtprocs\W32x86 folder 2. Description method: 1) Write descriptions similar to normal INI file format. [Section Name] Key_1=Data_1 Key_2=Data_2 Key_3=Data_3. 2) Specify the printer name as the section name. Eg. [TM-U230]

3) Specify each key in a hexadeciaml character code corresponding to ControlA font. Eg. When "A" is specified for ControlA font, write the key as 41=. * The range that can be specified for each key is 20 to 7F.
4) Specify each data as a hexadecimal command corresponding to the character code specified in ControlA font. Eg. When you want to send the initialization command (ESC @), write the data as 1B40.
5) Sample description of an INI file: [TM-U230] 40=1B40 41=1B313131

7.Attention in use.

1) When you connect the printer over the serial (COM) port, be sure to set the flow control to Xon/Xoff. In the cases below, however, please set the hardware control on OS side and set TM printer to DTR/DSR. * When using EPSON DM-D10x, 20x Printer Driver TM Printer Driver's settings when connecting TM printer via DM-D customer display. Also, please use the following cables to connect between PC and DM-D customer display(DM-D101/DM-D105/DM-D205). "The available cables diagram"
Printer side D-sub25 Connector Pin Number 22 Signal name (NC) RxD TxD DTR SG DSR RTS CTS (NC) DCD RxD TxD DTR SG DSR RTS CTS RI Signal name User side D-sub25 Connector Pin Number 9
Furthermore, though the cables on the market have the one that is listed in the following wiring structure, its type can not be used. "The unavailable cables diagram"
2) In some cases a serially-connected printer will not operate correctly on Windows 95 and Windows98 under the default FIFO-buffer settings. You can correct the problem by reducing the FIFO Transmit Buffer setting for the COM port to which the printer is connected. 3) In some cases a serially-connected printer will not operate correctly on Windows NT 4.0/Windows2000 while FIFO buffering is enabled. You can correct the problem by disabling the FIFO buffer. 4) The top margin for receipts and journals will be larger than the top margin value that you set. The additional margin is equal to the distance between the paper cut position and the top printable position. 5) Strike-though, italic, and other such attribute settings are ignored when printing with printer fonts. If you need to use these attributes, you must select a Windows font. 6) Printer fonts will not printed the orientation is set to landscape. When using landscape orientation, be sure to select a Windows font. 7) Although some printers provide red printer fonts, it is never possible to print both red characters and black characters on the same line. 8) Although it is possible to print both a printer font and graphic data (Windows font, straight line, etc.) on the same line, print results may be uneven. 9) Print results may also be uneven if you print a double-height font together with some other font on the same line. 10) If you find that you are unable to print barcodes on Windows NT4.0,Windows2000, you can correct the problem by reducing the left margin to its lowest possible value. 11) Sometimes the barcode may not be able to print continuously in Windows NT4.0 and Windows2000. You should specify HRI characters each time this problem occurs. 12) When changing the paper source with a paper-source selection character (special-function character), you must place the character at the beginning of the line. 13) When printing by the serial connection to the TM printer of the high resolution, the print speed as the expectations can not be gotten. To print out at higher speed, it recommends use in parallel connection. 14) When using TM printer in parallel interface, the paper empty error occurs when turning on the power in the condition of the paper-near-end. it can not print. exchange to the new paper. 15) TM printer driver does not support printing of MICR. 16) Setting DIP switch 2-1 (the BUSY condition) of the TM printer to ON ( receive buffer full) is recommended. 17) When the old version of the TMUSB Port Monitor is already installed in Windows98, the new version of TMUSB Port Monitor cannot be normally installed. In this case, delete all printer drivers in the printer window. Then, after rebooting Windows98, install the TM printer driver. 18) When using WindowsNT4.0,Windows2000 English version in NTFS format, the users who don't have the Administrator authority may not be able to print correctly. If so, please change the access of Everyone which is in the directory of WindowsNT System folder\Spool\Printer to full control. 19) If either TM-U300/A/B/C/D or TM-U210A/AR/B/D is used on WindowsNT4.0,Windows2000, the color may not be printed as you expected. If so, please print such as a space using the font in the color you expect first. 20) Driver EPSON DM-D10X/20X doesn't support DM-D202. Also, If TM printer doesn't work if it is connected with
