7. Custom Protocol Command Codes

Programming Manual

7.2 Download Command Structure

The command for downloading a new set of Protocol Command Codes takes the form of <ESC>LD,a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i. The parameters specified for “a” through “i” can be transmitted in either ASCII characters or hex nota- tion, allowing a complete 128 character (except for the “,”) set to be used for selecting the custom code.

PARAMETER	STANDARD	ALTERNATE SETTING (DEFAULT)
	SETTING

a	STX	{

b	ETX	}

c	ESC	^

d	ENQ	@

e	CAN	!

f	~	~

g	OFFLINE	)

h (Auto	No	0 = YES
ONLINE)		1 = NO

i (Zero Slash)	No	0 = YES
		1 = NO

If the custom Protocol Command codes are incorrect or if the printer does not respond to commands using the custom set, the Alternate Protocol Control Codes can be restored by the following procedure:

1.Turn the printer off.

2.Place DIP switch DS2-7 in the ON position.

3.Turn power on while simultaneously pressing the FEED and LINE switches.

4.When the message “ALT PROTOCOL DEFAULT COMPLETED” appears on the display turn the printer off.

ALT. PROTOCOL

DEFAULT COMPLETE

For printers that do not have a display panel and the completion of the Protocol Default is signified by a single “beep”. Once this beep is heard, then turn the printer off.

5.When the printer is powered up again, the Alternate Protocol Com- mand Code set will be active. All previous custom settings will be lost.
