Through the use of Star Line Mode,these drivers achieve the following major functional points:Graphics PrintingText Printing via Device Fonts (with CP1252 support)2 Color printingBarcode printing via Device FontsPage Length Control (including Black Mark sensing)Cutter ControlCash Drawer ControlPresenter ControlFor all models, the factory default printer configuration need not be changed in order to begin using thedrivers. When usage of a driver feature requires changes to a printer’s configuration, that change will befully described. An example of a feature that may require a printer’s configuration to be changed is usage ofBlack Mark paper, which is a selectable feature within the driver.This software has been distributed via the LineMode_2K-XP_yyyymmdd.exe file. This is an automaticprinter installer. By executing this single file, you can automatically install any of the supported printers.All driver files are contained within this single executable.

Star Micronics Co., Ltd.Star Line Mode Printer Driver – Windows 2000 and XPCopyright 2004 Version 0.3.1281.10Device Settings – Property Sheet Page UsageThis property sheet is provided to all printer drivers from the Windows system, and is thus consideredstandard. The options present on this property sheet are vendor defined though, and as such are describedhere. The Driver Settings property sheet page looks like this for all printers:The Paper Type option has been added to this property sheet page by this driver. Its function is described inthe following table:Option Default Choice MeaningPaper Type * Receipt Each printed page ends immediately after the last line. (Variable length pages)Ticket Each printed page has a consistent length defined by the application.If you want the printed receipt to have the minimum required length then choose Receipt. This will causeeach page to end after the last printed line. For example:If the first document contains 10 lines then the receipt will be 40mm (10 lines * 4mm/line).If the second document contains 13 lines then the receipt will be 52mm (13 lines * 4mm/line).In the majority of retailing and POS applications, this is the desired mode of operation. As such, the Receiptchoice is this option’s default.If you want each printout to have a consistent length then choose Ticket. As the name implies, this mode ofoperation is most suitable for the printing of tickets, where each one must be of a uniform and unchanginglength. The length of each printed page is determined by the document layout within the controllingapplication.Note:SP200 series (including the SP246, SP242, SP216, and SP212 models) and DP8340:When using ticket mode, the length of the paper printed maybe longer than page length value. Pleaseexperiment with different page length.12 / 29

Star Micronics Co., Ltd.Star Line Mode Printer Driver – Windows 2000 and XPCopyright 2004 Version 0.3.1281.10Customize Control Code – Dialog UsageAll models support this dialog box. It can be opened by clicking on the Customize Control Codes buttoncontained on the Print Options property sheet.Windows prints documents via the printer’s printer driver, and does so by breaking the printing process upinto 4 sections:• Document Topo Page Topo Page Bottom• Document BottomThe options you configure determine the control codes the printer driver sends to the printer at each one ofthese timing points. Via the Customize Control Codes form, you can instruct the driver to send any controlcode sequence to the printer before and after each one of these timing points. This results is eight differenttiming points, as shown on the Customize Control Codes form:To use this form, simply enter the text and control codes you want sent to the printer during each timingpoint.The format for entering control codes is:\xhhWhere hh is the two digit hex value to be sent to the printer. (Note: hex digits a ~ f must be entered inlower case)You can also send plain text to the printer by simply typing it in. For example:If you want your store address to be printed at the top of each document, before anything else, you wouldenter the following into the Before Document Top field:Store Name\x0aaddress\x0acity, state zip\x0aphone\x0a\x1b\x2d\x31www.store-url.com\x1b\x2d\x30\x0aThe printed result will be:Store Nameaddresscity, state, zipphonewww.store-url.comPlease note:• Only Star Line Mode commands can be used.• A maximum of 500 characters (following hex conversion) can be entered into each field.17 / 29

Star Micronics Co., Ltd.Star Line Mode Printer Driver – Windows 2000 and XPCopyright 2004 Version 0.3.1281.10Document Formatting GuidelinesSo that you can most effectively use your printer with these printer drivers, please observe the followingpoints when creating your documents and print forms:• Margins:These drivers do not require any margins. Set all document margins to 0.• User defined paper sizes:These drivers include one predefined paper size, but support user defined paper sizes. You cancreate a custom paper size via the Server Properties form available off the File menu of the WindowsPrinter Folder. Refer to the Windows help system for information on how to do this. Remember thatno margins are required.• Device Font Usage:Use device fonts to print text when ever possible. Printing text via device fonts will greatly increasethe print speed.• 1 Device Font / LineUse only one type of device font per line.• Red Device Font UsageAfter using a red device font, it is necessary to print one or more characters using a black device fontin order to return to the black printing mode. Space characters are acceptable.• Graphics & Device FontsDo not print device fonts and graphics on the same horizontal line. Printing device fonts andgraphics on the same horizontal line will cause the printed document to differ from the displayeddocument.• Barcode Device FontsWhen using the barcode device fonts, only characters will appear on the computer’s display. Theprinted result will be a barcode. This difference can cause the displayed and printed documentlengths to vary slightly.• Top Search – Label PrintingWhen printing on label stock you are encouraged to use the printer’s black mark sensor. Using theprinter’s black mark sensor will ensure that printing begins at the same point on each label. So thatyou can print from the very top of the label Star printer’s include a Top Search function. Thisfunction causes the printer to reverse feed the paper until its top position and then begin printing. Inorder to use this feature, ensure that your printer and printer driver are configured like this:o Printer Configuration:The top search function is enabled in the printer via the printer’s memory switches. See thetable on page 22 for details.o Printer Driver Configuration:Set the Enabled field contained in the Black Mark Paper Support area of the Print Optionsproperty sheet page. Choose Full Cut / Full Cut for the End Page / End Doc field of the CutAction group on the Print Options property sheet page.22 / 29

Star Micronics Co., Ltd.Star Line Mode Printer Driver – Windows 2000 and XPCopyright 2004 Version 0.3.1281.10Document Formatting Guidelines• SP200 and DP8340 Device Font NotesThe SP200 series (including the SP246, SP242, SP216, and SP212 models) and the DP8340 printersare text only TTY printers. As such, they do not support the printing of graphics, including true-typefonts. These printers are equipped with device fonts which are used to achieve all output.Windows expects TTY type printers to support fonts of 17 cpi, 12 cpi, and 10 cpi pitches. TheSP200 and DP8340 printers were designed with device fonts of different pitches. So that printedoutput is formatted (read spaced) correctly, these fonts have been defined by the driver according tothe Windows expected pitch. The result is that the printed font and the displayed font are of differentpitches.So that you can format your receipts properly, please observe the following table. It lists all fonts forthese printers and the maximum number of characters that the printer can print on one line.Printer Font Name Max Chars / LineSP246Printer 16cpi 42SP242Printer 13cpi 35SP216Printer 8cpi 21SP212Printer 6.5cpi 17Printer 16cpi (RED)42Printer 13cpi (RED) 35Printer 8cpi (RED) 21Printer 6.5cpi (RED) 17DP8340Printer 12cpi 40Printer 6cpi 20Printer 12cpi (RED) 40Printer 6cpi (RED) 20Note:SP200 series: Usage of the 16cpi and 8cpi fonts is mutually exclusive with the usage of the 13cpi and8.5cpi fonts within the span of a single document. The same applies for Red fonts23 / 29
