3.2PARALLEL INTERFACE
Some MICRO PANEL devices are provided with a parallel printer interface which can be used for connecting the printer.
Note:
Only printers that support the PCL protocol can currently be connected. PCL is a language developed by HP→ which, however, is also supported by other printer manufacturers.
3.3SERIAL INTERFACE
The serial port can also be used for connecting the printer. Two different modes are always available for printing via the serial port.
Printing using Windows driver
Connecting a printer to the serial interface in conjunction with a standard Windows CE driver has the same requirements as for the parallel interface.
Note:
Only printers that support the PCL protocol can currently be connected. PCL is a language developed by HP→ which, however, is also supported by other printer manufacturers.
Printing using ESC sequences
The GALILEO Runtime program also supports printing by means of ESC sequences. This makes it possible to connect a printer without the need for a Windows CE driver. However, the project designer must create a «kind» of printer driver (PRV file) in which the necessary commands are defined with ESC sequences. Further information is provided in the GALILEO documentation.
