Tally Genicom 6600 manual Code V Command Character Cvcc, Changing The Cvcc, Using ESC Sequences

Chapter 1 Code V Command Character (CVCC)

Code V Command Character (CVCC)

All GPL commands begin with a Command Character. By default, this character is an ASCII caret (^) having hexadecimal value of 5E.

Changing The CVCC

There are two ways to change the CVCC.

Using ESC Sequences

Using the ^N Command Change Sequence

This method can only be done in Graphics Mode. Send the ^N followed by the new CVCC (hex. OOto hex. FF), then terminate the ^N sequence with the New CVCC.

Example:

^N$$ would change to CVCC to the ASCII dollar sign character ($-hex, 24, Dec 36).

When you leave Graphics Mode and return to Character Mode or when the pritner is reset, the Command Character defaults to the ASCII caret character

(^).

Through The Control Panel

This method can be used either in Graphics Mode or in Character Mode. To use this method take the printer offline and access the Configuration Menu. After accessing the Configuration Menu proceed through the menu levels until you access the decimal selections under the CVCC Parameter in the Graphics Category. Scroll until the desired decimal value is reached, then depress the ENTER key. This Command Character will remain valid until you exit Graphics Mode (this resets it to the default value), the printer is reset, or you change it with a ^N command or through the control panel.

NOTE: If the Command Character is set through the Control Panel outside of Graphics Mode, that character stays in effect unless changed by the ^N command. If a config. report is printed while in Graphics Mode, it will show the character chosen with the ^N command instead of the character selected through the control panel. When you exit from Graphics Mode, the Command character is reset to the value selected through the Control Panel.

However, if the Command Character is set through the control panel inside of Graphics Mode, that character stays in effect only until you exit Graphics Mode, after which the Command Character is reset to the value you selected through the control panel outside of Graphics Mode. As with the ^N Command, if a config. report is printed while in Graphics Mode, it will show the character chosen through the control panel inside of the Graphics Mode.

All Graphics Mode commands in this manual are shown using the (default) caret symbol.
