This printer is available in Standard,  Simplified Chinese,  and Traditional Chinese versions. 
Commands are based on the Star SP500 printer.   
 
Additional IBM command extensions are:  
ESC T for character set support  
ESC Y for paper width  
ESC for XON/XOFF handshaking  
ESC for DTR handshaking  

This printer is available in Standard,  Simplified Chinese,  and Traditional Chinese versions. Commands are 
based on the Star TSP200 printer. The Standard version of the thermal printer also supports the ESC/POS 
command set. Additional IBM command extensions are:  
 
ESC T for character set support (Standard version only)  
ESC for XON/XOFF handshaking  
ESC for DTR handshaking  

The printer is attached through a COM port that is determined through configuration. The printer is configured 
during setup to run at 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, and no parity. The appropriate MODE command must be part of the 
AUTOEXEC.BAT or STARTUP.CMD file to communicate with the printer.  
Application programs that write only to the LPT port can be used with the printer by using the mode command to 
redirect printer data to a COM port. The printer must be configured to be COM1 through COM4. For example, the 
command:  
 
 
MODE LPT1=COM1 
 
redirects the printer data written to LPT1 to the COM1 port.  
 
The printer performs handshaking with the system logic by one of two methods: DTR or XON/XOFF mode. DTR 
mode (also called hardware handshaking mode) is simple and implemented within the operating system by using 
the MODE command. XON/XOFF mode is selected by using a command. The system powers up in hardware 
handshaking (DTR) mode.

DTR Mode 

Signals are controlled using the DTR line as BUSY flag.
