AsyncMode Property, ErrorLevel Property

Citizen Systems 1.8 manual AsyncMode Property, ErrorLevel Property, BinaryConversion Property

CITIZEN OPOS DRIVER 1.8 Application Development Guide

AsyncMode Property

・TRUE

Output method (PrintNormal, PrintTwoNormal, CutPaper, RotatePrint, PrintBarCode, and PrintBitmap) is executed asynchronously.

・FALSE

Output method is printed synchronously. When error occurs at the asynchronous output, error event is reported at about 0.5-s intervals.

ErrorLevel Property

・PTR_EL_NONE

Indicated when error is not detected.

・PTR_EL_RECOVERABLE

Indicated as Recoverable error at Paper Out/Cover Open.

・PTR_EL_FATAL

Indicated as irrecoverable error at Auto Cutter error.

BinaryConversion Property

Installation example (Visual Basic) using the BinaryConversion property and PrintNormal method is described.

・Opos_BC_NONE

Bstring1 character is stored with one byte without data conversion.

Dim pString As String

Dim result As Long

Dim PrintStation As Long

OPOSPrinter.BinaryConversion = OPOS_BC_NONE

pString = "None" + Chr$(&HD) + Chr$(&HA) _

+ "123" + Chr$(&HD) + Chr$(&HA) _

+ "ABC" + Chr$(&HD) + Chr$(&HA)

result = OPOSPrinter.PrintNormal(PrintStation, pString)

・Opos_BC_NIBBLE

Each byte is converted to two characters.

Dim pString As String Dim result As Long

Dim PrintStation As Long OPOSPrinter.BinaryConversion = OPOS_BC_NIBBLE pString = Chr$(&H34) + Chr$(&H3E) _

+ Chr$(&H36) + Chr$(&H39) _

+ Chr$(&H36) + Chr$(&H32) _

+ Chr$(&H36) + Chr$(&H3C) _

+ Chr$(&H36) + Chr$(&H35) _

+ Chr$(&H30) + Chr$(&H3D) _

+ Chr$(&H30) + Chr$(&H3A) _

+ Chr$(&H33) + Chr$(&H31) _

+ Chr$(&H33) + Chr$(&H32) _
