COMMAND 57: HOST PORT INITIALIZATION STRING

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

COMMAND 57: HOST 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 initialize the printer for host printing after shared-port printing has occurred. The interface also restores the host page-format parameters after sending this string and prior to host printing. The initialization string is sent at the beginning of each page.

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

NOTES

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

The host-port initialization string is only sent to the printer when you turn the printer on and after printing by the shared parallel port has occurred.

Host SCS commands and download commands have priority over the initialization string instructions.

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

To delete the initialization string from the permanent memory, simply type the parentheses with nothing between them.

Example: &%Z57,1( ) deletes from permanent memory any hex string that had been previously defined for the host-port initialization string

COMMAND 58: SERIAL-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 serial port.

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