Wake-Up Characters

The microFlash automatically goes into sleep mode in the number of seconds you specified using your microFlash Configuration Program (see Chapter 3). Thus, you must wake up the printer for it to receive data and print. To do this, you may program a wake-up character sequence into your hand-held device. Program the wake-up character listed below at least six times for baud rates of 9600 to the RS-232 port. You will need more wake-up characters for faster speeds. No wake-up characters are needed for IrDA. For ASK/Pluse about 150 wake-up characters are needed at 9600 baud.

The first character sent wakes up the printer; the next few null characters will be lost during power-up.
