Configuring Data Interface as a Printer Port (PRINTER)
You can connect one or two strip printers or one or two label printers to the 
Combics. Configure the COM1 and UniCOM interfaces as printer ports in the Printer 
menu item.
There are several actions that generate the command for outputting data to the 
printer port: 
–    Pressing the p key.  
If the operating menu is active, all menu settings under the active menu level 
are printed. 
–    Upon receipt of the “Esc k P _” SBI command.  
For details, see the section entitled “Data Input Format” in this chapter.
–    In some applications, pressing a given key (e.g., to save a value or start a 
routine) also generates a print command. In this case, a configurable printout is 
generated with application-specific data.
The P and l symbols are displayed when data is being output to the printer port.
