II. REFERENCE.
Chapter 5 Cautions while Using the Printer 5-1 Panel Switches and Commands n Switches (1) Power switch [Function] Turns the power supply on/off. [Note] l The RAM is initialized after turning off the circuit power supply. l Do not touch the power supply switch during printing.
5-2 Printable Area and Label Paper Conditions n Printable area The print area must be within the range indicated below. Roll paper [Units: mm] Label paper (All the numeric values are typical.) n Label paper conditions Label paper Hole dimensions NOTE: Do not use anything other than label rolls with the dimensions shown above.
5-3 Miscellaneous Notes n Notes on printing and paper feeding (1) Because the TM-L60 is a line printer, it automatically feeds paper after printing the data. When the line spacing is set to a small value, the paper may be fed more than the set amount to print the data.
(2) When the printer goes to the standby (data-waiting) state during printing, the printer stops printing and feeding paper temporarily. When the printer restarts, the paper may shift 1 to 3 dots at the start of printing. Graphics printing is especially affected by this.
d) If thermal paper touches anything which includes phthalic acid ester plasticizer for a long period, it can reduce the image formation ability of the paper and can cause the printed image to fade. When storing thermal paper in a card case or sample notebook, be sure to use only products made from polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyester.

6-4 Program Descriptions 1. Introduction The TM-L60 is connected to the host computer by an RS-232C Interface. The TM-L60 is easily controlled by sending data and commands from the host computer. The following examples use the main commands from MS-DOS BASIC.
 Send Print Data 120 PRINT #1, “ABCDEF”; CHR$( 10); Always send a LF code (CHR$ (10)) after print data. To execute printing, send a LF code or ensure the line is filled.
Æ Selecting the character code table. 190 FOR I = 240 TO 255 200 PRINT #l, CHR$(I); 210 NEXT I 220 ’ 230 PRINT #l , CHR$(27); “t”; CHR$( 1); 240 ’ 250 FOR I = 240 TO 255 260 PRINT #l, CHR$(I); 270 NEXT I Page 0 characters, 190 to 210. Page 1 characters, 250 to 270.
The 12 characters, “012345678901” are print data. A check-digital is added by the printer because 12 characters are sent, and “012345678901” is printed.
