Reading a MSR-H track Data Structure ASCII ESC [ " r hex. 1B 5B 22 72 dec. 27 91 34 114 Function The MSR track is read using this command. The desired options are pre-set, if necessary, via the command ’Parameter setting for MSR-H’ (CSI ... ! r: number of reading attempts, recording mode, position of the magnetic stripe, etc.
PAGE 6
Deleting a MSR-H track Data Structure ASCII ESC [ % r hex. 1B 5B 25 72 dec. 27 91 37 114 Function The vertical position on the magnetic stripe fixed at the transfer of the MSR parameters (CSI ... ! r) is overwritten with ’ZERO’ characters, the MSR track is deleted (valid only if MSR-H is installed). Setting control points/initializing control cycle Data Structure ASCII ESC [ ! t hex. 1B 5B 21 74 dec.

Detecting document edge Data Structure ASCII ESC [ # t hex. 1B 5B 23 74 dec. 27 91 35 116 Function This command is accepted and ignored. Activating passbook processing Data Structure ASCII ESC [ $ t hex. 1B 5B 24 74 dec. 27 91 36 116 Function This command is accepted and ignored. Specifying horizontal leading edge Data Structure ASCII ESC [ % t hex. 1B 5B 25 74 dec. 27 91 37 116 Function This command selects the reference edge by n.

Setting control point II Data Structure ASCII ESC [ ) t hex. 1B 5B 29 74 dec. 27 91 41 116 Function This command triggers the release of an acknowledgement signal to the processor interface if the last mechanical procedure was started in the printing unit and no error has occurred at this point in time. The printer will return the same value of with the same command sequence as this command to PC as a response. = value freely definable by the application in the range 0 to 9999.
