FORMS UTILITY FOR THE COAX ENVIRONMENT

Merging variable data with a single form (macro)

Before instructing the printer to start merging variable data with a macro that is already residing in the printer©s memory, some setup commands must be sent.

The printer must be instructed about the page orientation, page size and paper source if the user does not want to use the default settings of the printer. These commands cannot be embedded into the macro definition because the printer will not allow them. Also, they cannot be embedded into the form preceding the macro definition because of the possibility of multiple page forms, or downloading of a macro for later use causing a change in printer operation.

Note: The form (macro) to be used must be downloaded to the printer prior to invoking that form.

Overlay command

The automatic overlay command will enable every page to have the same form until the end of the variable data is reached or when the overlay command is disabled. The following PCL commands must be placed in hexadecimal value at the beginning of the variable data file. For example, a macro with an ID #1 and an enable overlay command will have the following escape sequence:

Esc&f1Y

1B26663159 (hexadecimal value)

Esc&f4X

1B26663458 (hexadecimal value)

This is an example of a variable data file (VARDATA2) on the IBM Host. It sends to the printer the PCL macro ID #1 and the overlay command prior to the data. After the last line of data, the macro ID #1 (Esc&f1Y) and disable macro overlay command (Esc&f5X) is issued. &&??<SPACE> resets the Escape character

to NONE.
