def. ch. Immediate command character (optional).

Up to any 3 characters in the 0 to 255 decimal

range. The character must be defined before this

command can be used. The caret (^) is

normally used.

NOTE: "ANSI_cd" includes seven separate parameters.

The first five parameters are required. The other

parameters are optional.

E3. "string 1" Terminator for status requests and ENQ requests. Up to

any 3 characters in the 0 to 255 decimal range. The

default is "013". Sending "" disables this sequence.

E4. "string 2" Terminator for job requests and data uploads. Up to any 3

characters in the 0 to 255 decimal range. The default is

none. Sending "" disables this sequence.

The defaults listed above are the defaults for all printers.

After you change these parameters, all packets, including any

future configuration packets, must use the new control

characters. Monarch recommends using the tilde and ASCII

character code sequence when sending this packet multiple

times. Also, set the packet delimiters to characters within the

21 hex to 7E hex range.

You must send the control characters packet to enable the

immediate commands. An immediate command executes

immediately, even if it is embedded within quotation marks,

and all data following the command in the string is ignored.

Example {I,E,"~123~063~034~124~125~126~094" p }

Changes the parameter separator character from , to ?. The

other control characters remain unchanged. It also enables

the immediate commands by defining the ^ symbol as the

command identifier.
