Chapter 2: Emulations Languages and Character Sets The numerous language and character set selections are defined in the Character Sets section of this manual.
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide Primary and Secondary Fonts and Languages This escape sequence allows a font style and some language substitutions to be loaded into the primary (G0) and secondary (G1) areas. To load your primary and alternate character sets, use the sequence: ESC [ 1B 5B n1 ; n2 3B ! s 21 73 Where: n1 = the value field for the primary (G0) character set. n2 = the value field for the alternate (G1) character set.
Chapter 2: Emulations To change the alternate character set to the Spanish Courier (n2 = 46) without changing the primary set, modify the escape sequence to: ESC 1B [ 5B ; 3B 4 34 6 36 ! 21 s 73 Selecting Primary and Secondary Sets There are two ways to access the primary and alternate character sets.
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide Characters Per Inch The following escape sequence selects the characters per inch (CPI): ESC 1B [ 5B n w 77 Where: n = A value from the table below. CPI 5 CPI 6 CPI 6.5 CPI 6.67 CPI 7.5 CPI 8.33 CPI 8.57 CPI 9 CPI 10 CPI 12 CPI 12.5 CPI 13.33 CPI 15 CPI 16.67 CPI 17.
Chapter 2: Emulations Character Height and CPI This sequence allows you more control over how characters will look when they are printed out on the printer. With this command you can change both the character height and the character width. This allows you to print in wide characters for increased readability. To change character size, use the following escape sequence: ESC 1B [ 5B n1 ; 3B n2 Sp 20 B 42 Where: n1 = one of the values from the following table.
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide Page Formatting Many of the parameters for formatting the print and page characteristics (such as LPI, Horizontal Tabs, etc.) can be set from your host computer using escape sequences. This section discusses and explains the Escape Sequences and Reserved Control Codes used for page formatting. Lines Per Inch The following escape sequence selects lines per inch (LPI): ESC 1B [ 5B n z 7A Where: n = one of the values from the table below. LPI Selection 1.
Chapter 2: Emulations Horizontal Tabs The MT660 sets default tabs at every eighth column. The following commands allow the user to manipulate Horizontal Tabs according to job requirements. Setting Tabs To set up to 16 horizontal tabs, use the sequence: ESC 1B [ 5B n1 ; 3B n2 ; 3B n3 ; 3B ...n16 u 75 Where n1–n16 = The column numbers assigned as tab stop locations (up to 16 may be specified).
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide Setting Left and Right Margins This escape sequence allows the user to set the left and right margins from the host. However, instead of using column numbers, which change when the CPI setting is changed, this command sets absolute margins in increments of 1/120 of an inch that do not change location when the CPI selection is changed.
Chapter 2: Emulations Setting Vertical Format The top of the first line of print on a page is called the top-of-form (TOF) position. Vertical position is measured from this point. The form length is the distance from one TOF to the next. The bottom-of-form (BOF) skip is the distance between the last line of print on the page and the next TOF. Once the TOF and form length have been set, the paper will automatically advance to the next TOF whenever the print position advances into the BOF skip area.
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide VFU Download Commands VFU download commands are used with the IEEE 1284 and serial interfaces only. The VFU Load not only sets values for the form length and bottom-of-form skip (see also, Skp Whn in Chapter 2), but also sets up vertical tabs on the page that are used by VFU Channel Commands. Load the printer VFU memory from your computer and then use VFU Channel Commands to move the paper to specific locations.
Chapter 2: Emulations VFU Data Format The VFU Data Format includes two bytes of data for each line of the form, starting with line 1. The two bytes of data indicate channel number(s). Traditionally, Channel 1 is reserved for TopOf-Form (TOF) and Channel 12 is reserved for Bottom-Of-Form (BOF). The Vertical Tab (VT) Control Code moves the paper forward to the next marked tab position on Channel 2.
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide Paper and Print Position Movement There are varieties of commands and escape sequences used to select paper and print movement functions. In this section, we present both the reserved commands and escape sequences. When entering or exiting the Character or Plot modes, any data in the print buffer is printed. In Character Mode, the print position moves to the left margin of the current line, or to the current dot row in Plot Mode.
Chapter 2: Emulations Line Feed LF 0A The Line Feed (LF) Control Code advances the paper one line in Character Mode or one dot-row in Plot Mode. If the Auto Carriage Return Parameter is set to ON, the printer also moves the print position to the left margin when it receives a Line Feed Command. If Print on Paper Command (POPC) is enabled, any character data previously received is printed before the move.
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide Relative Paper Motion The Relative Paper Motion (RPM) Command moves the paper forward or backward a requested number of increments from its current print position. Movement distance is dictated by the print mode (Character or Plot). Exceptions: Reverse paper motion stops at the Top-Of-Form (TOF) location on the current form.
Chapter 2: Emulations Forward Index The Forward Index Command moves the paper forward one line with no change in horizontal position. This command is valid only in Character Mode; it is not allowed in Plot Mode. The Forward Index escape sequence is: ESC 1B D 44 Example: Input: AESCDBESCDCESCDDCRLF Output: A B C D After the CRLF, the print position would be on this line at the left margin. Reverse Index The Reverse Index Command moves the paper backward one line with no change in horizontal position.
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide VFU Channel Commands After the VFU Memory is loaded, the format is set. To use the VFU Format, you must select VFU Mode on the printer. After selecting VFU Mode, you can send VFU Channel Commands to move the paper either forward or backward to the desired location. All reverse moves stop at the TOF if the requested channel is not found.
Chapter 2: Emulations Plot Mode When Plot Mode is selected, all input data is treated as plotting data. All graphics in Plot Mode are designed and printed one dot-row at a time. In Plot Mode the data stream dictates each dot to be printed. Data bytes are either bit images of the dots to be printed, or they are commands to repeat the previous bit image one or more times. Both the density of dots in the horizontal row, and the density of rows can be varied.
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide Figure 12 – Alignment Using ModPlot Align to Line Boundary When you are exiting from the Plot Mode and the ModPlot Parameter is OFF it is necessary to send an Align to Line Boundary Command to advance the paper to the next line down (as measured from the current TOF). Without this command, characters and graphics would touch.
Chapter 2: Emulations Plot Data Two types of information are needed for plot data. The first is an ASCII character (or numerical equivalent in whatever base number system your host requires; octal, decimal, hexadecimal, etc.) that designates which dot pattern you want to print. The second is a one or two byte numeric equivalent (oct., dec., or hex.) of the number of repetitions of the dot pattern you require.
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide Plot data is received as binary code that represents the dot pattern to be printed, as shown above. If you do not have a table of the various dot patterns possible with their decimal and hexadecimal equivalents, you can use the following method to compute the numeric equivalents. First, plot out the dot pattern, then convert the six dot pattern to a six-bit binary number (0 for no dot and 1 for a dot).
Chapter 2: Emulations Plotting Dot Patterns To construct the data code for a specific dot pattern and have the printer print that dot pattern, refer to the table below and perform the procedure that follows.
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide Step 1. Find the desired dot pattern from the two dot pattern columns. For example, use the dot pattern from Figure 16. It is located in the right-hand column (it's the one inside the oval). Step 2. Look to the right of the dot pattern and determine the number for this particular dot pattern. In the Figure we have provided the ASCII, Hexadecimal, and Decimal equivalent. Whatever code you use, this number becomes the dot-pattern designator. Step 3.
Chapter 2: Emulations For example, if you wanted to print a pattern 10 times you would look up 10 in the repetition column above; the ASCII character that corresponds to 10 is an asterisk (*). Therefore, placing an asterisk after a dot-pattern designator would cause the printer to repeat the pattern 10 times.
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide The second escape sequence format is more economical and easier to use when stringing commands together, but either of the above commands would result in a horizontal line of 48 dots across the page. Repeating either of the above command/CRLF sequences would cause printing of vertical bars across the page.
Chapter 2: Emulations Plot Density In Plot Mode, your printer will print in a variety of dot densities, both horizontally and vertically. The default density in Plot Mode is 100 dots per inch (DPI) in both the horizontal and vertical directions. To select a different density, use the escape sequence: ESC [ 1B 5B n1 ; n2 3B ! q 21 71 Where: n1 = Horizontal density in DPI in the range of 40 to 240, scaled to 180 DPI. n2 = Vertical density in DPI in the range of 40 to 240, scaled to 180 DPI.
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide Paper Path Selection The following commands are used to select the paper input for your T3116 printer. Some of these capabilities may require the purchase of optional components. Select Tractor 1 ESC 1B [ 5B 5 35 { 7B [ 5B 6 36 { 7B 7 37 { 7B 0 30 { 7B Select Tractor 2 ESC 1B Select Tractor 3 Requires the “2T” model.
Chapter 2: Emulations Postal Bar Code Printing POSTNET Bar Codes POSTNET Bar Code Mode allows you to make use of the mail handling systems that the United States Postal Service (USPS) has implemented. In addition, POSTNET Bar Codes allow you to take advantage of postal discounts available through USPS for mail pieces using POSTNET Bar Codes for regular 5 digit, Zip+4, and Advanced Bar Code (ABC) zip codes.
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide Four-State Bar Codes Four-State Bar Codes are similar to POSTNET bar codes, except they have four states instead of two. In addition to the tall bar and short bare, there is an ascending bar and a descending bar. Four-state bar codes are supported for the UK Postal Service and the Dutch Postal Service.
Chapter 2: Emulations Miscellaneous Functions Reset Printer to Powerup Settings You can reset the printer to all its powerup settings by sending the escape sequence: ESC 1B [ 5B 6 36 ~ 7E ~ = tilde Alternate Escape Sequences Since some systems will not allow ESC (1B hex) to be sent as the escape function, you can substitute the following codes: ^ 5E CR 0D OR ^ 5E CR 0D LF 0A But they must be placed in Column 1 (the left margin), and Alt ESC must be set to ENABLED through the control panel (see th
IGP for Dot Matrix Printers User Guide Reserved Control Codes In this emulation there are different combinations of reserved control codes you may use to control various aspects of printer operations. In addition, there are reserved control codes that are used "behind the scenes" in communication between the host computer and the printer, and in data handling protocols. The table below lists the codes for the MT660 Emulation.
