Easy Print Mode

Easy Print is the easiest of all possible modes of printing. It uses “English-like” commands. You can go to Easy Print from Line Printer

Mode by entering an ESC EZ.

Easy Print Mode allows you to design a custom receipt, ticket or report with borders, lines, stored graphics, logos, bar codes and text in any arrangement or rotation to suit your needs. Unlike Line Printer Mode, Easy Print allows you to use stored graphics. Thus, anything you print will be printed lightning fast. You can create images that are missing only variable data, which will be supplied when the image is printed.

The microFlash can store from one to 100 different formats in internal memory, depending on the size of the format and the amount of memory available in your microFlash (1M or 4M).

The printed receipt might contain your company logo at the top, a signature line at the bottom and an identifying bar code in the middle.

Easy Print Command General Format

There are four things to remember about all Easy Print Commands.

1)They all look like this: {Command:Information} where “information” is the set of instructions (if any) the printer needs to carry out a command.

2)For some commands, no “information” is necessary in the sense used above.

3)For some commands, the information the printer needs is somewhat more complex, e.g. the Print Command.

4)For some commands, there are “global options” which modify the entire command.

Always use Easy Print for graphics you will use multiple times, such as a

￿company logo. By storing a graphic in flash memory, you minimize communications between the host computer, thus increasing your print speed. Your hand-held computer sends only the variable data to the printer in order to print receipts.

If the printer is asleep, null characters must precede any Easy Print or Line Printer commands. If the printer is awake, it does not need null characters in either mode.
