Chapter 6: Remote Interface Setup
Linx 4900 Operating Manual 126 MP65492–1
NOTES:
1. For normal printing, where no remote data is expected, this option
should always be set to Continuous mode. Single print mode
should be used exclusively with messages expecting remote data.
2. The two commands that should be used to download the remote
data are 28 (download field data) and 29 (download remote field
data). The former is used to download complete static field
structures, and the latter is used to download text characters to be
inserted in predefined remote fields in the message. Both are
described in the Linx Remote Communications Interface
Reference Manual (FA76014).
• Print Go/No Data
This is one of the two failure conditions that can be configured (see
also Print Go/Pixel RAM below), and is implemented when a ‘print
go’ occurs and no remote data has been received.
The Print Go/No Data option can be set to carry out one of the
following three actions:
Note that if the Mode option (see above) is set to Continuous print,
the Print Go/No Data will not occur. This is regardless of whether
any remote data has been received or not. In Continuous print mode,
printing always takes place.
• Print Go/Pixel RAM
This is the second of the two failure conditions that can be configured
(see also Print Go/No Data above), and is implemented when a ‘print
go’ occurs and the printer is still generating the pixel pattern.
The Print Go/Pixel RAM option can be set to carry out one of the
three actions described above for Print Go/No Data.
