DC1 or DLE request keypad data. Upon receipt of either, all keypad input that has been pressed since the previous DC1 or DLE will be transmitted. A maximum of 16 strokes can be buffered. Transmitted characters will be one of the following:
ASCII | Meaning | ASCII | Meaning |
Numeric keys | < | Either A↑ or B↓ key | |
: | FUNCTion key | = | EJECT key |
; | ENTER key | ? | End of buffer |
The last character transmitted is always a ?. If a DC1 or DLE is received and no keys have been pressed only a ? will be transmitted.
As numeric keys are pressed, their values are displayed on the lower display line. Pressing ENTER or FUNCT transfers the key strokes to the key buffer. Pressing CLEAR deletes numeric keystrokes before they are transferred to the key buffer.
Functions beginning with 9 are reserved for internal printer operation and are not transferred to the key buffer. See 3.5 to 3.8 for the internal printer function details.
DC2 requests line count information. Upon receipt, 2 bytes are transmitted. The first byte indicates the number of lines and the second indicates the number of additional 1/60” steps moved since the document was initially registered at top edge or bottom edge.
EM requests document length information. Upon receipt, 2 bytes representing the document length (if the document was automatically inserted to the bottom edge) are transmitted. The first byte indicates the number of lines and the second byte indicates the number of additional 1/60 inch steps.
