– 1 – 1. OUTLINE The DP8340 series of serial dot matrix printers is for use in ECR, POS, electronic instruments, banking machines and computer peripheral equipment.
– 2 – 2-1. Unpacking After opening the box, check if all necessary accessories are included. (A) Printer (B) Power Supply Unit Figure 2-1. Unpacking 2.
– 3 – 2-2. Installation of Paper Holders and Re-Roll Pr e vention Guard (Only Model DP8340FC) Install the Paper Holders in the outermost holes in the rear of the printer.
– 4 – Install the Re-Roll Prevention Wire in the holes of the printer cover. Twisting the Wire as shown in the figure below, will make the installation easier. Figure 2-3. Installation of Re-Roll Prevention 2-3. Handling Notes (1) Install the printer near an easily accessible socket-outlet.

– 7 – 3-3. Part Functional Description (1) AC Power Plug Connect to an outlet of the specified voltage. (2) DC Power Outlet Supplies DC 12V power to the printer. (3) Printer Cover Protects the printer against dust and reduces noise. (4) POWER Lamp Lights up (green LED) when power is on.
– 8 – 4. INST ALLA TION OF INK RIBBON AND PAPER 4-1. Installation of Ink Ribbon (1) Turn power off, lift the Printer Cover up and remove it. Note: Be careful not to touch the print head immediately after printing, because it can get very hot. Figure 4-1.
– 9 – Figure 4-2. Installation of Ink Ribbon Figure 4-3. Ribbon Spools 4-2. Removal of Ink Ribbon Hold the spool and lift gently, rotating it until the ribbon sags. Push the ribbon detecting lever out, lift the spool until it comes off the shaft. Remove the second spool in a similar manner.
– 10 – 4-3. Paper Insertion 4-3-1. Model DP8340FC (1) Cut the Roll Paper end straight and square. Hold the roll so that the paper comes from the bottom. (2) Attach the Roll Paper to the Holders Paper by slipping one side of the roll onto the Hub and pulling the other Hub out to allow the roll to slip in place.
– 11 – 4-3-2. Model DP8340SC 1. Make a straight cut along the top of the paper, about 1/4 inch away from the sprocket holes, (as shown in the figure). If there is perforation, cut the paper on the perforation. 2. Insert the paper squarely into the paper insertion slot until the ALARM lamp goes out.
– 12 – 4-4. Paper Removal Cut the paper close to the slot and use the feed button until paper has passed completely through the printer. Note: Do not try to remove the paper by hand as it could become crooked and get jammed inside the printer.
– 13 – 5. CONTR OL CODES CODE LF (0A) H FUNCTION Print and line feed instruction OUTLINE The LF code causes the data in the line buffer to be printed, followed by a single line feed. When the line buffer is empty, only the feed takes place. CODE CR (0D) H FUNCTION Print and line feed instruction OUTLINE Same function as of LF code.
– 14 – CODE SI (0F) H FUNCTION Inverted print instruction OUTLINE This function causes the printing to be inverted. This code must be received at the beginning of a line. If this code is received anywhere other than at the beginning of a line, it is disregarded.
– 15 – CODE ESC R n (1B) H (52) H n FUNCTION Select an international character. OUTLINE This command selects one of the international character sets in accordance with the value of “n” as shown below.
– 16 – Relation Between Character Pattern Data and the Print Head CODE ESC % 1 (1B) H (25) H (01) H or (1B) H (25) H (31) H FUNCTION Select download character OUTLINE This code specifies the download mode.
– 17 – If the position into which the download character is written (the character code) is defined as (21) H , (22) H , (23) H , then we have n 1 = (21) H , n 2 = (23) H The relation between the character pattern data and the print head assigns the 9 pin as unused.
– 18 – CODE ESC N n (1B) H (4E) H n FUNCTION Sets bottom margin in lines OUTLINE Upon receiving this code, the bottom margin is set to n lines. 0 n 120; Default Value n = 0 CODE ESC O (1B) H (4F) H FUNCTION Cancels bottom margin. OUTLINE Upon input of this code, bottom margin setting is cleared.
– 19 – CODE FS (1C) H FUNCTION Trigger peripheral unit drive (immediate) OUTLINE Causes a peripheral drive pulse to be generated immediately. CODE SUB (1A) H FUNCTION Trigger peripheral unit drive 2 (immediate) OUTLINE This command causes a peripheral unit drive 2 pulse to be generated.
