Unsupported PRTYPE settings are treated as PRTYPE 0.
Notice that the PRTYPEs are assigned in groups of four. This is done to handle the different car-
riage widths used (standard 8-1/2" and wide 13") and also the number of data bits the printer can
accept (7 or 8). Add the following number to each of the above PRTYPEs to customize the PK-232
for your printer.
+0: 7-bit graphics data, standard (8-1/2" paper) printer carriage
+1: 7-bit graphics data, wide (13" paper) printer carriage
+2: 8-bit graphics data, standard (8-1/2" paper) printer carriage
+3: 8-bit graphics data, wide (13" paper) printer carriage
As an example, the default PRTYPE setting of 2 was chosen because most printers are standard
width (8-1/2" paper) and will handle the Epson 8-bit graphics format. Thus the Epson PRTYPE of 0
was chosen from the table above, and the quantity +2 was added to select the standard printer
carriage and 8-bit data.
If you have a wide carriage Epson printer (and wide paper of course) you would have wanted to
add the quantity +3 to the Epson PRTYPE listed in the table.
PT200 ON|OFF Default: ON
Mode: Pactor Host: PB
Pactor uses an adaptive data rate selection scheme. The normal data rate is 100 baud. If condi-
tions permit, the data rate will be shifted to 200 baud automatically. If the error rate becomes too
high at 200 baud the data rate will automatically be reduced to 100 baud. There can be conditions
where the data rate is frequently shifting, causing a loss in the actual information data rate.
The command PT200 when off, will prevent the data rate from automatically changing to 200
baud. When PT200 is ON (default), the PK-232 will allow automatic data rate selection.
