(3) Switching print data with no occurrence of fault "Print data changeover in progress M"
The following shows the method of use with no occurrence of "Print data changeover in progress M" when
switching the print contents during transmission:
(a) Print timing schematic diagram
Printing
Communication
1
The IJ printer receives contents "DEF" in communication while printing contents "ABC".
2 The IJ printer switches printing to the received contents: It will print the previous data during
switching.
No.
● The fewer characters, the shorter the time.
● The fewer different time of the print format, the shorter the time.
(b) Restrictions
Perform communications only under the conditions shown below. If even one of these conditions is not met, any
input to print target detector while the communicated contents are being printed will cause fault "Print data
changeover in progress M" to occur.
Conditions that the print target detector input will not cause an abnormality
No.
Make sure that none of the following software options are provided:
1
Barcode Reader Connection (SOP-08)
2 Set the Print data changeover on User environment setup screen to "Disable".
3 Set the Communication mode on Communication environment setup screen to "overwrite-enabled".
4 Set the Buffer function on Communication environment setup screen to "Disable".
Transmit print contents independently, and do not package print content transmission with print
5
condition transmission.
6 Transmit to print items with no count block.
7 Do not transmit the count characters.
