Streams:
Filename Direction/Bit Description
„/dev/rs232:baud,handshake“
I/O,8 baud: 1200-230400, handshake: -,RTS/CTS,XON/XOFF
„/dev/ieee1284“ I/O,8 bidirectional parallel interface
„/dev/rs422:baud,handshake“
I/O,8¹ rs-422 interface, baud: 1200-230400, handshake: -,XON/XOFF
„/dev/rs485:baud,address“
I/O,8 r s-485 interface, baud: 1200-230400, address: A-Z
„/dev/usb“ I/O,8° USB-Client
„/dev/rawip“ I/O,8 raw-IP interface
„/dev/lpr“ I,8° lpr server
„/dev/panel“ I,16 input from front panel keys, key values are
$F001 Mode
$F002 Formfeed
$F003 Cancel
$F004 Pause
$F090 Cancel longer than 3 seconds
„/dev/keyboard“ I,16 input from external keyboard
There are too many keycode to list them here - please use
the program listed in the sample section of this document.
„/dev/jscript“ I,16 JScript-Interpreter - needed for reading back answers
„/card/filename.ext“ I/O*,8/16 file from memory card
„/iffs/name.ext“ I,8/16 file from internal memory
„mailto:address“ O,8 Writes an email to the specified address. An SMTP-Server
address and a return address has to be set in the setup!
The subject is the first line printed into the stream.
* no random writing within a file, only append or overwriting, according to the filename extension
the files are automatically sorted into the appropriate directories (i.e. /images, /labels, /fonts and
/misc) on the card
° not yet implemented
¹ note: on A3 setting the baudrate on RS-422 sets the RS-232 baudrate too and vice versa!
Modes:
„r“, „w“, „a“ read, write and append
(file reading and writing automatically transforms Unicode to ASCII and
vice versa according to selected codepage, reading a Unicode or ASCII
file is automatically detected)
„rb“, „wb“, „ab“ read, write and append without transforming
(file reading and writing uses only low-byte of e.g. string)
„wu“, „au“ write and append using Unicode
Notes:
- Some streams like „/dev/panel“ are always Unicode-streams. Using ‘b’ or ‘u’ modifiers can have
strange effects!
- Writing to an interface (e.g. /dev/rs232) will fail if the printer cannot send the data. There’s a time
out of 10 seconds.
- Opening an interface as file stops ESC interpretation on this device.
- abc has an additional command called FLUSH which enables you to clear the input puffer of
/dev-streams in read mode (e.g. FLUSH #1 when 1 ist /dev/rawip). FLUSH #0 clears standard input.
