Star Micronics SB-15 user manual Sound bell, CHR$7 Disable bell, Esc Y, ESC y Enable bell

*to remind an operator to change the paper or to make another adjustment to the printer. Note to Apple users: Entering a CHR$(7) will sound Apple’s bell; the code will not be sent to SD-10/15.

You can try this by typing:

LPRINT CHR$(7);

There are two other codes that affect the bell. One disables the bell, so that SD-lo/l5 will ignore a CHR$(7), and the other turns the bell back on. All three codes that affect the bell are shown in the following table.

	IBM	CHR$(7)
Disable bell	STAR	< ESC > “Y” 0
	IBM	< ESC > “y”	0
Enable bell	STAR	<ESC> “Y” 1

Note: If your computer does not support lowercase characters, use CHR$( 121) for “y”.

on	condition		we have had to either		turn	the	printer	off and then	-

features.		There		is an easier way. The	control		code	< ESC > “@”	-
will reset		all	of	SD-lo/l 5’s features	to	the	power	on condition	-

(as determined by the DIP switches), with two excep.tions. Those exceptions are that < ESC > “@” will not erase any characters that you have stored in SD-lo/l 5’s RAM memory (Chapter 9 tells you how to create your own characters), and it won’t erase the macro if you have one stored in SD-lo/l 5’s RAM (this chapter will tell you how to create a macro).

W Putting SD- IO/l 5 to sleep

You know how to put SD-lo/l5 offlline with the On Line button. SD-lo/l 5 has another ofFline state that can be controlled from your computer. When you turn SD-lo/l 5 off-finefrom your computer. SD- 1O/l 5 will ignore anything that you send it, except
