Windows- Programming software

Basic Version IPP 144-40 G

Enhanced

Version

IPP 144-40 GE

A Windows-Programming software has been developed.This software will be available to progam the GE text memory, transfer user defined fonts or symbols and set the printer configuration parameters. Also this software package includes actual Windows printer drivers.

The software will be on CD-ROM.

The basic version IPP 144-40 G provides one serial interface capable of receiving only. Return (handshake) messages to the sender are sent via hardware line. Texts and measuring value to be printed must be transmitted from the sender device since the basic version does not have an internal text memory. It is possible to print with the basic version bitmap image and barcodes. The bitmap image files and the barcode files are generated with printer control commands in a terminal emulation program.These files are transmitted by interface I to the printer. It is possible to download this file onto the font ROM chip in the printer. For the printer control commands and download commands see section 8.3. in this manual.

Note: The cyrillic character set is on the font ROM chip.

If user defined fonts or symbols are downloaded onto the font ROM chip, the cyrillic character set will be overwritten, and the cyrillic character set will no longer be available.

The enhanced version IPP 144 - 40 GE provides a second, bi-directinal serial interface capable of outputting return messages under program control in compliance with a protocol. In addition, this model includes a text memory capable of storing up to 15 texts which are called by specifying the corresponding text number. Moreover, date and time may be printed with texts and data.

The printer interfaces of the IPP 144-40 GE can be set in the menu program as serial transfer or standard Windows printer drivers. So it is possible to print data (e.g.user defined fonts and symbols) directly with Windows.

It is not possible for the user to upgrade the basic version to the enhanced version; as this is a different factory version.
