Tl 880 Answer Message Function

The TI 880 emulation provides, as a TI 880 feature, an answerback message (ABM) that can be programmed with a message of up to 20 characters. If a message is programmed, it is transmitted when the ASCII character ENQ is received. The ABM is stored in the printer’s nonvolatile memory and is programmable with an escape sequence when the ABM load setup parameter (ABM MSG LOAD) of the TI 880 emulation is turned on.

Escape sequence:

ESC

[

Q

text

NUL

Hexadecimal:

1B

5B

51

text

00

where text can contain up to 20 ASCII characters, and the NUL character is used as the string terminator.

TI 880 Response Format Selection

The TI 880 emulation provides a response format selection feature (RESP FMT) allowing the user to select whether the response formats for configuration and status inquiries are preceded by an ASCII ESC character and if the string terminator is to be preceded by a semicolon. The default selection is W/O ESC.

qWhen the RESP FMT selection is W/O ESC the format of the responses to the configuration and status requests are not preceded by the ASCII ESC character.

Response Examples:

Config: [880;14;27;36;41c

Status: [880;24;2Cn

qWhen the RESP FMT selection is W/ ESC the format of the responses to the configuration and status requests are preceded by the ASCII ESC character.

Response Examples:

Config: ESC[880;14;27;36;41c

Status: ESC[880;24;2Cn
