  • Publication number: 20130183075
    Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting a print width in a POS printer, such as a facsimile or a printer, in which the paper is wound in the form of a roll, so that the printer can selectively use various types of paper that is be supplied thereto. The apparatus includes a paper guide, the position of which is adjustable depending on the width size of a paper to be supplied, and a contact switching means for detecting the width of the paper. The apparatus automatically detects the width of the paper with a simple operation in which the paper is inserted between or taken out of the printer, and thus automatically sets the print width to be the same as the width of the paper, so that printing is performed on the paper.

  • Patent number: 8130393
    Abstract: A printing apparatus in which a general command is converted to a real-time command depending on the needs, allowing fast status analysis and error recovery with fewer number of control commands without inconveniencing the user, a control method therefor, and a data processing apparatus using the printing apparatus. In the printing apparatus or the data processing apparatus including the same which is operated by transmission of command data and print data from a host computer, general data usually processed in order is converted to a real-time command using a real-time command identifier. The printing apparatus receives the data with the real-time command identifier and processes the command or print data designated by the real-time command identifier. The apparatus and method allow using a fewer number of commands to execute various controls.
