HPIIISi TWINAX CARD

5.3 The Commands In Detail

This section describes each of the host-download commands, including all available arguments (options). (Any argument that represents a factory- default value is marked with an asterisk.) Examples are also included for each command.

Command: 00, Twinax Address

Description:

Determines the Card’s address in your twinax network. New addresses don’t become active until the printer is powered off and then on again. When you set a new address, it remains in effect permanently until you specifically set the address again—even restoring factory defaults doesn’t change this setting.

Possible Arguments:

Results:

0 to 6

Sets Card’s address (ships from the factory as *0).

Example:

“&%Z00,5” sets the Card’s twinax address to 5 after the next power-up.

Command: 01, Alternate CPT-Start Delimiter

Description:

Creates an alternate start delimiter for command pass-through, which is also an alternate host/PC-download delimiter. It may be one or two characters long; the first character may be any printable character other than “&”. The Card only recognizes one alternate start delimiter at any given time, but it will always recognize the primary CPT-start delimiter “&%” as valid even if an alternative start delimiter has been defined.

Possible Arguments:

Results:

[Any two characters

Defines new alternate start delimiter.

that are not both

 

spaces]

 

[Two spaces]

Deletes previously defined alternate start delimiter.

Example:

“&%Z01,#*” designates “#*”as an additional start delimiter.
