Black Box PC118C-R2 manual Command 50, Sharing-Port Timeout

CHAPTER 5: Configuration

Command: 50, Sharing-Port Timeout

Description:

Use this command to select the sharing port’s timeout value (the time in seconds that must elapse before the Card automatically switches from the parallel sharing port to check for data from the host).

Possible Arguments:	Results:
01 to 60	Sets new timeout value in seconds (*08, 8 seconds,
	is the factory default).

Example:

“&%Z50,10” sets the sharing-port timeout to 10 seconds.

Command: 56, Parallel-Port Initialization String

Description:

Creates a parallel-port initialization string that the Card will send to the printer after the Card has reconfigured it for shared printing. Place up to 25 pairs of hex codes, corresponding to your desired printer commands, inside a pair of parentheses following a “0” (zero). (To aid readability, a single space is allowed between hex bytes.) The string will be stored in the Card’s memory.

For a list of available printer commands and their hex values, consult your printer’s manual.

Possible Arguments:	Results:
1([hex codes])	Defines a parallel-port initialization string
	consisting of the specified hex codes.
1()	Deletes the specified string from memory.

Example:

“&%Z56,1()” deletes the hex string previously defined as the parallel-port initialization string.
