Printer Modifiers

STOPBITS n

This modifier specifies the number of stop bits to be inserted following the data and

parity bits.

TESTINT

This modifier specifies the interval for probing the status of the line. A value of zero

means the line is never probed.

TPAUSE

This modifier enables the transmit pause flow-control handshake. Whenever the

Secondary Receive Line Detect (SRLD) signal (pin 12) is reset (LOW) at the

concentrator interface, the concentrator transmits data; when SRLD is set (HIGH), the

concentrator stops transmitting.

TPAUSE provides the same function as REVTPAUSE, except that it is triggered by the

opposite polarity of pin 12. TPAUSE requires RS232/EIA.

The following illustrates the difference between TPAUSE and REVTPAUSE.

TYPE (m,n)

For SWAN/SWAN 2 concentrators, this modifier is mandatory; if specified, it must be

specified as TYPE 53, indicating that the concentrator is managed by the ATP6100

subsystem.
