Command Descriptions
This section provides the detailed description of the commands. These commands
are separated into groups according to their function or use. The previous sections
can be used as an index for the following sections.
The following lists and describes the headings used to present the elements of the
commands in the descriptions in this section. Each command code is presented in
three formats: ASCII, hexadecimal, and decimal. Choose the format that best suits
the programming implementation. The printer interprets the 8-bit bytes it gets
through its communication interface; it does not care what format the program
lists them in.
Name: Name of Command
ASCII:
The ASCII representation of the command control code
followed by its operands.
Hexadecimal:
The hexadecimal representation of the command control code
followed by its operands.
Decimal:
The decimal representation of the command control code
followed by its operands.
Operand n:
A description of the command operand. Other command
operands may be m, p1, p2, x, or y.
Range of n:
The upper and lower limits or list of possible values of the
command operand. The values are listed as decimal values
unless specified otherwise.
Default of n:
The command operand default value after printer reset or
startup.
Description:
A brief description of the use of the command.
Formulas:
Any formulas used for this command.
Example:
Coding example of how to send the command in Visual Basic.
This code assumes we are doing output to an opened and
ready device called "MSCOMM1." The examples use the
hexadecimal command code formats; the ASCII or decimal
formats could also be used in VB. In commands that use an
operand, a specific value is used, and the result of using the
selected value for the operand is described.
Exceptions:
Describes any exceptions to this command, e.g., incompatible
