7. Functional Description

7.1. Start Printing

To start the printing, the IPP 144-40 G expects only the character

<CR> Carriage return, Enter

Note:

<LF> alone has by itself no effect combined with other control characters (calling text, send clock, start print interval -see following sections).

If these characters are transmitted without a print triggering character, the IPP 144 - 40 G prints them after approx. 3 seconds.

Other widely used print trigger characters such as <FF> Form feed are ignored.

7.2. Addressing

Each IPP 144 - 40 G / IPP 144 - 40 GE printer is addressable.Thus, several printers can be supplied with different data via one data line.

Up to 31printers can be connected by one sender device (e.g. a PLC). The respective address is set in the menu program.

Note:

-Standard interface RS 232 only permits

1 sender / 1receiver; Do not connect more than

4 IPP’s as receivers.

-Only interface RS 485 allows up to 32 receivers !
