CHAPTER 4. PRINTRONIX P-SERIES EMULATION

SPECIAL FUNCTION CONTROL CHARACTER (SFCC)

When a printer control code consists of more than one character, it is called a command or escape sequence. This emulation uses a Special Function Control Character (SFCC) as the first character of a command sequence. The SFCC alerts the printer that a command sequence—not printable characters follows.

In this P-Series emulation mode, you may choose 0 to 127 to be the SFCC via the Emulation Settings of the Set Up Menu.

The general format for a command sequence in the P-Series emulation is:

SFCC (parameter 1 ..... parameter n) (terminator)

Command Line

In the P-Series emulation mode, print format, font, or international language selection can also be controlled by a longer sequence known as a Command Line. Command Lines are string type commands placed between complete lines of text and affecting the text that follows. The P-Series Emulation has six Command Lines: PMODE, OSET, PSET, LPI, LINES, and INCHES. Each of these Command Lines is discussed in this chapter under the appropriate Control Code function.

For example, you can set the form length in inches by using the following command line:

SFCC INCHES ; n f

where n is the whole number of inches and f is the fractional increment in 0.5 inch increments.

When using the SFCC in a Command Line, it must be the first non-blank symbol in the line (space, hex 20, is a blank symbol).

In addition, characters following spaces (other than a valid line terminator) in a Command Line are ignored so that user comments can be included on the Command Line. The valid line terminators are Form Feed (FF), Line Feed (LF), and Carriage Return (CR); however, when used in the Command Line, these line terminators do not cause any paper motion.
