•If the key is [RENAME], this command allows the printer to change the name field of the AppleTalk name binding protocol.

<ESC>&b#WRENAME<sp>printername

printername should be specified with 1 to 31 characters.

The characters $00 to $FF (except for $00, @, :, *, =, $C5) can be used for the printername. $00 is used as the terminator.

If invalid characters are used, this command is ignored.

•If the [key] is set to [JOB], this command changes the current job name. <ESC>&b#WJOB<sp>jobname

All characters from $00 to $FF can be used for the jobname. jobname can have a maximum of 127 characters.

•If the [key] is set to [TYPE], this command allows the printer to change the type field of the AppleTalk name binding protocol.

<ESC>&b#WTYPE<sp>devicetype

devicetype should be specified with 1 to 31 characters.

The characters $00 to $FF (except for $00, @, :, *, =, $C5) can be used for the devicetype. $00 is used as the terminator.

If invalid characters are used, this command is ignored.

7.4.11. MIO video I/O port control

The HL-1660e and 2060 printers have only the "VSREQ" signal for vertical synchronization that can be sent to the MIO port. This causes a short delay to the actual printing start after sending the VSREQ signal if the video controller is processing an interrupt. This delay causes an incorrect vertical printing position. To avoid the problem, the following command is useful.

EscCR!12340M (27)(13)(33)(49)(50)(51)(52)(48)(77) <1Bh><0Dh><21h><31h><32h><33h><34h><30h><4Dh>

•Laser diode video interface port of the MIO port is closed.

EscCR!12341M (27)(13)(33)(49)(50)(51)(52)(49)(77) <1Bh><0Dh><21h><31h><32h><33h><34h><31h><4Dh>

•Laser diode video interface port of the MIO port is opened.

EscCR!12342M (27)(13)(33)(49)(50)(51)(52)(50)(77) <1Bh><0Dh><21h><31h><32h><33h><34h><32h><4Dh>

•Laser diode video interface port of the MIO port is opened and the print start command is sent to the printer engine immediately after sending the VSREQ signal.
