ASCII Driver S5-95U, Second Serial Interface
End-of-text identifier (ME)
You can parameterize either one or two end-of-text characters for sending data frames with variable
length. You limit the length of the respective data frame by means of the end-of-text characters
selected. You can send or receive a maximum length of 1024 bytes. For the end-of-text, there is no
default in DB1 since the parameter can only be set optionally to ”ML” (frame length).
Please make sure that the same end-of-text is parameterized in the S5-95U and in the node.
Suppress LF (SLF)
The driver requires the LF control characters in the send mailbox for the correct placement of the
headers and footers. A double line feed is achieved if your printer automatically carries out an ”LF”
(line feed) at every ”CR” (carriage return ) and an ”LF” character is additionally transmitted within
the frame.
In order to prevent the double ”LF” you can suppress the output of the LF control character to the
printer through the parameter assignment ”SLF J”.
Number of lines per page (LPP)
For the correct placement of the headers and footers the transmitted lines are counted internally by
the driver by means of the ”LF” xharacter.
Width of left margin (LM)
You can define a left margin for the text lines (not for headers and footers) in DB1 (with blanks). The
driver sends the number of blanks according to the character combination ”CR” and ”LF”. The
charactrer combination must be specified in the send mailbox.
Position of the page number (PN)
You place the page number either on the third line (”PN O”) or on the third last line (”PN U”) of
the respective page.
Headers and footers (HD1, HD2, FT1, FT2)
The text for the headers and footers must be included in quotes (”). Control characters in KS
format must be entered as follows:
$hh (”dollar sign” and hexadecimal code of the control character).
