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

SCS TRN data is user-defined is not scanned for SCS control codes. However, to emulate the characteristics of the IBM 3287, non-printable characters (control characters) are converted to hyphens. Data is translated to ASCII with undefined characters printed as hyphens. The A/C-7 RO offers a configurable option to emulate the IBM 3287 or to pass the data without translation. Refer to command 45, SCS TRN translate, on page for more detailed information.

6.4 Color Printing

The A/C-7 RO allows printing of color on the HP Color LaserJet or DeskJet 1200C printers. Simply insert the color command in front of the text you want to colorize. Return to the “normal” black color by inserting _C00. The color commands are:

¬C00 - Black

¬C01 - Blue

¬C02 - Red

¬C03 - Magenta

¬C04 - Green

¬C05 - Turquoise/Cyan

¬C06 - Yellow

¬C07 - White

¬C08 - Black

¬C09 - Dark Blue

¬C10 - Orange _C15 - Grey

¬C11 - Purple _C16 - Brown

¬C12 - Dark Green

¬C13 - Dark Turquoise

¬C14 - Mustard

For example, to print the word “red” in the color red in the following sentence, type:

This prints ¬C02red¬C00 in red.
