Interface Card User's Guide C82314

NOTES: To aid in readability, a single space is allowed between hex bytes but
is not included in the string.
The coax port initialization string is only sent to the printer when you
turn the printer on and after printing by the shared parallel port has
occurred. Host SCS commands and download commands have
priority over the initialization string instructions.
To change the initialization string simply input the new command
values. The entire old string is automatically erased.
To delete the initialization string from the NV memory, simply put
nothing between the parentheses.
EXAMPLE: &%Z57,1( )
Deletes from NV memory any hex string that had
been previously defined for the coax port
initialization string
COMMAND 60: ASCII PRINTER PROTOCOL
Specifies the type of ASCII printer protocol instructions that the interface will
use when converting from the 3270 coax cable commands. Most Epson
ESC/P printers will automatically on power up set this command to agree with
the type of printer In which the interface is installed. If your printer is a laser
printer, this command is invalid.
VALUE DESCRlPTlON
* 1 Epson ESC/P dot matrix protocol
2
HP LaserJet PCL4 laser protocol
NOTES: HP LaserJet protocol automatically uses the Roman 8 character set
and Epson ESC/P requires that the Code Page 850 character set be
selected by the user through front panel selections or DIP switch
selections.
The HP LaserJet laser protocol supports the ability to specify cartridge
fonts by simply including a font ID Command in the document.
A change in this command is not active until it is saved to NV memory
using an ‘&%Z99,0’ and the unit is turned off and then on again.
When laser protocol is selected, the default for Command 25 changes
to the ‘form feed’ option.
EXAMPLE: &%Z60,2 Selects use of the HP LaserJet PCL4 laser protocol
