1-4 Common rules for communication commands
Each communication command is made up of a three-letter command (CMD) and a parameter.
Each parameter is separated by a colon ":" as a delimiter. It is not permitted to omit the delimiter.
Code systems of character registration and character

assignment commands
For the following commands, five types of code systems can be used to transmit character data (character
assignment data). For the details of each command, refer to the corresponding page.
Character registration commands: STM, SCM, SLM, SNM, S2M, SDM, SMC
Character assignment commands: SDA, SAC, SSC
Usable code systems
The JIS code and other code (By input environment of CCS3000, the
JIS/GB code is GB or KS or BIG5) of each character are sent in the ASCII code
converted from it.
ASCII Characters themselves are sent in ASCII code.
Shift-JIS The Shift-JIS code of each character is sent in the ASCII code
converted from it.
When ASCII and Shift-JIS Characters themselves are sent in ASCII code or in Shift-JIS binary
are mixed image.
UNICODE The UNICODE of each character is sent in the ASCII code converted
from it.
GB/JIS The GB code and JIS code of each character are sent in the ASCII
code converted from it.
When ASCII and GB are Characters themselves are sent in ASCII code or in GB binary image.
mixed
KS/JIS The KS code and JIS code of each character are sent in the ASCII
When ASCII and KS are Characters themselves are sent in ASCII code or in KS binary image.
mixed
BIG5/JIS The BIG5 code and JIS code of each character are sent in the ASCII
When ASCII and BIG5 are Characters themselves are sent in ASCII code or in BIG5 binary
mixed image.

that they are printed in half-width characters.)

How the characters not stored in CCS3000 will be treated;
When a character code of the character not stored in CCS3000 is sent using a character registration or a
character assignment command, it will be usually treated as an error.
If you do not like to treat a certain character like Cyrillic alphabet or a Japanese Kanji of Class 3 or 4 not stored
in CCS3000 as an error, then you can have it substituted by a user font using the method below.
C Press the [User font edit] button on the menu screen.

Memo
This botton is not displayed in the default Simple
Setting.
Select [Menu] - [Function] - [Printing] to display the
[User font edit] and [Replace] button.
D Select a user font to replace a certain character not

stored in CCS3000 with.
E Check the “Replacement”, and input the code “FFFF“.
17
F When clicking the button, the dialog box saying

"Set?" is displayed. Click [Yes] to complete the setting.
②
①
Caution
Characters not stored in CCS3000 are stored as the character code of user font.
If a incorrect shift JIS code (code whose upper 1 bite is shift JIS code) is sent when "ASCII/
Shift-JIS" is specified, it will be treated as an error.
When a character code corresponding to a calendar character is set to the module other than
that for Calendar, the character code of user font will be stored.
When a character code of the digit code is set to the module other than that for Numbering or
Distance, the character code of user font will be stored.
If you wish to store a comment of a message using SMC command, this does not work.
→When a character code not stored in CCS3000 is sent, it will be treated as an error.

Data is sent from the host device to this product.

Data consists of the following:
"STX"
(1) "CMD" (ASCII character string: 3 characters)
"Parameters (ASCII character string: Length varies from command to command)"
"ETX"
"ACK (06H)" is sent from this product back to the host device when the sent command
(2) is received properly and its processing is completed.
"NAK (15H)" is sent from this product back to the host device when the sent command
(2)' has not been received or the data has an error.
"NAK (15H) + STX (02H) + Error code + ETX (03H)" is sent from this product back to the
(2)’’ host device when the sent command has not been received or the data has an error.
Memo
Whether to send back only "NAK" in (2)' or send back "NAK + Error code" in (2)'' can be
specified in the basic communications settings or using the setting command "SPC" or "SPN".
For details of the basic communications settings, refer to "Basic communications settings" on
Page 26.
For details of the setting commands "SPC" and "SPN", refer to "SPC (Set Parameter
Communication)" on Page 86 and "SPN (Set Parameter Network)" on page 88. For details of
error codes, refer to "5-1 List of error codes" on page 194.
19
Protocol used to send acquisition commands

Acquisition commands refer to transmitting a command (CMD) whose first character is G (Get).
Data is sent from the host device to this product.

Data consists of the following:
"STX"
(1) "CMD (ASCII character string: 3 characters)"
"Parameters (ASCII character string: Length varies from command to command)"
"ETX"
"ACK (06H) + STX (02H) + Response data + ETX (03H)" is sent from this product back
(2) to the host device when the sent command is received properly.
"NAK (15H)" is sent from this product back to the host device when the sent command
(2)' has not been received or the data has an error.
"NAK (15H) + STX (02H) + Error code + ETX (03H)" is sent from this product back to the
(2)'’ host device when the sent command has not been received or the data has an error.
Memo
Whether to send back only "NAK" in (2)' or send back "NAK + Error code" in (2)'' can be
specified in the basic communications settings or using the setting command "SPC" or "SPN".
For details of the basic communications settings, refer to "Basic communications settings" on
Page 26.
For details of the setting commands "SPC" and "SPN", refer to "SPC (Set Parameter
Communication)" on Page 86 and "SPN (Set Parameter Network)" on Page 88.
For details of error codes, refer to "5-1 List of error codes" on Page 194.

1-6 Precautions in sending commands continuously
When sending communications commands continuously, be sure to receive a response (e.g. ACK or NAK) to
one command and then send the next command. Although some communications commands have a slow
response as shown in the example below, always wait and receive a response to a command before sending
the next command.

The data received during this period is ignored.

In this case, all the data is ignored because “STX” is ignored.
In this case,...
Response (1)’ to command (1) Given normally
Response to command (2) No response

The data from the STX code, which is received between the completion of command (1)
reception (ETX reception) and the response of ACK, to the ETX code is ignored. Therefore,
this product has no received data, thus sending back no response.
Response (3)’ to command (3) Given normally

The data (3) from STX to ETX is received normally and also responded to normally.
21
1-7 Checksum form

If "Checksum" is set to YES in the Basic communications settings, it is necessary to calculate the checksum
value of the data between STX and ETX and append one byte after ETX. This applies to both transmission and
reception.
Ordinary commands

How to calculate the checksum
S M N : 0 : 1 : 1 2 3 : can be converted into hexadecimal notation as follows:
S M N : 0 : 1 : 1 2 3 :
53H 4DH 4EH 3AH 30H 3AH 31H 3AH 31H 32H 33H 3AH
The checksum value should be determined by the addition of all above numbers. The addition results in 2CDH,
and its low-order byte, or CDH, is adopted as the checksum value.
22
1-8 Concerning time-out
Basically, this product receives data from the host device according to the flowchart below. When the period
between data receptions is longer than the setting, a time-out occurs and NAK is sent back to the host device.
One character is received
No
Is it “STX”?
Yes
Yes
Has the receiving time passed the setting value? Timeout: NAK is sent back
No
One character is received
Yes
Has the receiving time passed the setting value?
No
Load the data into the receiving signal buffer.
No
Is it “ETX”?
Yes
Process the received data.

this period cannot
be received.

Notes in use during communications setting

If these communications settings are changed during the transmission/reception of data from the host device,
the communications settings become effective immediately after the change. Therefore, notice that, if the
communications settings are changed during communication with the host device, a communication error may
occur. An example of the case where the baud rate is changed during communication is shown below:
