5. CONFIGURATION MENU
5.1. How to enter the configuration menu In the Minicont 5V board, there is a connector ( J6 ) where you can find Paper feed, Switch menu and reset buttons. - The paper feed button will be Pins 1 and 2 of the J6 connector. - The switch menu will be pins 3 and 4. - the reset button will be pins 7 and 8. In order to enter the configuration menu, press all the buttons and then release the reset button only ; the configuration menu receipt starts printing.
5.2. How to move the pointer When you are in the configuration menu, a list is printed. - Interface type - Baud rate - Parity - Parity type - Data - Stop - Protocol - Tests This list only appear if the printer is set in RS232 communication. In Centronics configuration, the list will be : - Interface type - Tests To move the pointer, press the Paper feed button.
5.3. How to enter Sub-menus When you have selected one menu, you can access to parameters by pressing the Switch menu button.
5.4. How to save and quit configuration menu In order to save the configuration, go through the End scroll, push the menu button twice then press reset button in order to quit configuration menu.

Here is the algorithm which is used to make a bar code from numbers : Example : 1231234
There must have an even number of digits else a zero is placed at the beginning. 123 is traduced by 0123. The number is divided in two digit pairs described as follows : 1234 -> 12 34 Then, digits are encoded by pairs. 13 (digits encoded by bars) 24 (digits encoded by spaces) figure :
The user number is between two codes : the beginning code and the ending code.
The result is :

GS L
Description Format Comments Set left margin <1D h> <4C h> This command allows the user to the left margin in standard mode. The new margin is nL + 256*nH.
GS P
Description Format Comments Set horizontal / Vertical motion units <1D h> <50 h> This command allows the user to define the vertical and horizontal motion units to 1/X and 1/Y inch.
GS w
Description Format Comments Select barcode width <1D h> <77 h> This command allows the user to define the barcode width. N1 and n2 is for the ration between small bars and large bars.
HT
Description Format Comments Horizontal tab. <09 h> This command moves the printing position to the next horizontal tab position. Default tabs are every 8 characters. Ex : 09 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _AAAAAAAAA
