Barcode Reader Connection
[SOP-08]
Function for setting print 
contents
Function for recalling print data
The contents of barcode read 
by the barcode reader are 
transmitted to IJ printer as a 
character string and it is set in 
the IJP as a print item.
 The contents of barcode read 
by the barcode reader are 
transmitted to IJP as a recall 
code and the print data that has 
been assigned to the code is 
recalled.

Output of print contents
Print completion code will be transmitted 
when the printing is completed.
Output of print 
completion code
The printer status will be output when any 
change occurs in status, or an inquiry of 
status is given from an external device.
Status output
Remote operations of start, stop, 
deflection voltage (ON/OFF) and fault clear 
are possible.
Transmission of remote 
operation
Current time, calendar time control, 
calendar time and clock system (24/12-
hour system) can be set.
Transmission of clock 
initialization
Print data can be registered in the 
specified message number, and the 
registered print data can be recalled.
Transmission of print 
data registration
The input of a external signal will change the print contents 
at count digit to a preset value (reset value), and 
simultaneously reset the ongoing count figures to zero.
Switching print contents
using external signal
This function reflects print contents that 
have previously been transmitted and then 
temporarily held in printing when external 
signal is input.
Calling up print data
using external signal
When an external signal is input, this 
function allows operator to recall previously 
registered print contents and print format, 
and set them as current print data.
Output during calendar
updating
When IJ printer is in printable status and 
print contents are updated by internal 
calendar, a signal will be output to the 
optional terminal board.
Output notifying 
completion
of signal input
When receiving external signal for count, 
resetting, switching of print contents or data 
calling, a signal will be output to the optional 
terminal board.
