Black Box manual COMMAND 55 CUSTOM USER STRINGS, A/C-7P RO, A/C-7S RO

A/C-7P RO, A/C-7S RO

COMMAND 55: CUSTOM USER STRINGS

Allows the user to define up to six custom user strings, of up to 25 bytes each, which are stored in the memory of the interface and sent to the printer whenever the character delimiter, letter U, and number of the string appears in the text of the document (for example, &%U3).

VALUE DESCRIPTION

0-5(max. 25 Defines the custom

bytes of	user string
ASCII hex
code)
0-5()	Deletes custom user
	string

NOTES

To aid in readability, a single space is allowed between hex bytes, but is not included in the string.

The strings could specify a

special font-selection command or other custom command to be sent directly to the printer.

This command, if placed as the first printable data at the top of the page (position 1, line 1), will be sent to the printer prior to the data.

To change a custom user string, simply input the new custom user string values;

the old string is automatically erased.

Example: &%Z55,3(1B01) Defines the &%U3 custom user string to send an “Escape and SOH” (1B and 01 hex) to the printer, which is the double wide command.)

COMMAND 56: PARALLEL PORT INITIALIZATION STRING

Allows the user to define an initialization string of up to 25 bytes, which is stored in the memory of the interface and is sent to the printer at the beginning of any printing received from the parallel port.

VALUE	DESCRIPTION
1(max. 25	Defines the parallel
bytes of	port init string
ASCII hex
code)
1()	Deletes the parallel
	port init string

NOTES

To aid in readability, a single space is allowed between hex bytes but is not included in the string.

The string could specify a

special font-selection command or other custom command to be sent directly to the printer prior to the data that is received from the parallel shared port.

To change the initialization string, simply input the new command values. The entire old string is automatically erased.

To delete the initialization string from the NV memory, simply put nothing between the parentheses.

Example: &%Z56,1( ) deletes from NV memory any hex string that had been previously defined for the parallel-port initialization string.
