Calling via serial interface

7.4.2. Text Output

In order to print text, the printer must receive a transmission with the following format:

< Ctrl C > text number < CR >

The printer looks up the stored text related with that number and prints it.

If there is no such text, nothing is printed.

Important notes:

. <LF> on its own does not start the printing !

. Between several text calls in a row there has to be a gap of least 2 seconds to make sure no text is skipped during printing !

. Several text calls using <Ctrl C> and „normal“ transmissions must not be combined !

. Combination of text and Date / time (protocol) see chapter 6.4. !

The call for a printer with an address:

Precede the call with the address (see chapter 7.2.). Example for text entry see chapter 8.5.
