COMMAND 56: SHARED PORT INlTlALlZATlON STRING

Allows the user to define an initialization string of up to 25 bytes which are stored in the memory of the interface card and sent to the printer at the beginning of any printing received from the alternate shared port.

VALUE DESCRlPTlON

1Following the value number, insert a parenthesis, followed by the hex bytes included in the command string, and then a parenthesis to end.

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 parallel shared port.

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

To delete the initialization string from the NV memory, simply put nothing between the parentheses.

EXAMPLE: &%Z56,1( ) Deletes from NV memory any hex string that had been previously defined for the parallel port initialization string.

COMMAND 57: COAX PORT lNlTIALlZATlON STRING

Allows the user to define an initialization string of up to 25 bytes. This string is stored in the memory of the interface card and is sent to initialize the printer for

coax port printing after printing from the shared parallel port has occurred. The interface also, after the initialization string, sends commands to restore the default or host defined page format parameters prior to coax port printing.

VALUE DESCRIPTION

1Following the value number, insert a parenthesis, followed by the hex bytes included in the command string, and then a parenthesis to end.
