AGFA 2100 manual Device Identification, Macro, Device ID Value

4.5.5.1 Macro

The macro feature allows you to select an environment for local compatibility. It specifies the return response (device identification) when a Device Attributes (DA) request is received, and assigns the proper User Preference character set. The macro feature is slightly different from other menu features because two parameters (device ID and user preference character set) are added together to determine the macro value. The device ID and user preference values cannot be selected independently, they must be added together to form the macro value.

The DEClaser 2100 printer can identify itself as a Digital ANSI-compliant level 3 printer, and therefore can be recognized as such by symbionts and terminal drivers that conform to Digital's ANSI-compliant architecture. This identification is also compatible with level 2 devices since all level 2 sequences are also supported.

You can also select an LN03 identification for applications that require the printer to identify itself as an LN03 printer. For example, the DECmate word processing system requires an LN03 device identification. The device identification values are shown in Table 4–13.
