Paper Instruction PI Enable/Disable, En-Pi | Printronix LQH-HWTM

Chapter 2 Command Codes

Paper Instruction (PI) Enable/Disable

Purpose Enables or disables use of the PI line using a parallel I/O device. (This command does not enable/disable PI line sensing; it enables or disables use of the “sensed” PI line.)

Mode NORMAL

Format (cc)EN-PI or (cc)DIS-PI

(cc)The Special Function Control Code.

EN-PI	The Enable PI command; enter EN-PI. When this
	command is enabled, the IGP senses PI line, the 8
	bits of data are interpreted as a paper instruction
	command, and the PI line itself is ignored.
DIS-PI	The Disable PI command; enter DIS-PI. When the
	Disable PI command is sent, the 8 bits of data are
	interpreted as printable characters, and not as a
	paper instruction command.

Print File

Purpose Prints files from the flash memory. Print File can be used to show the SETUP functions that exist.

Mode NORMAL

Format (cc)PRINT; filename

(cc)The Special Function Control Code.

PRINT

The Print File command; enter PRINT.

filename The filename to be printed.

Comments Do not use wildcard characters because the Print File command will attempt to print any file on the flash.

Example Example of how to print setup.ptx:
