Mode 1: (Default) Strip trailing spaces and add CR/LF
Each data field in a record has any trailing spaces
stripped and a CR/LF (carriage return/line feed) pair
added. The data field (stripped of trailing spaces and
with an appended CR/LF pair) is then passed to the
printer for processing. This is the default way to handle
data sent to the printer.
Mode 2: Include all characters in each field (RAW)
The second mode accepts all characters that make up
each data field. Using this method, any trailing spaces in
a data field will be INCLUDED as data for the printer to
process.
Mode 3: Use the first byte as a count of characters to
send to the printer.
This mode is based on the first character of a data field
being interpreted as a count of data bytes that follow. It is
similar to a ‘counted string’ as found in the Pascal pro-
gramming language String data type. In the ‘counted
string’ mode, the number of bytes specified by the count
will be transferred into the printer. The count byte’s maxi-
mum value is limited to the data field size minus 1.
Note that in this example the count byte is shown as
ASCII, but would actually be sent as a binary number.
Mode 4: Strip trailing spaces
This mode eliminates trailing spaces in each data field of
a record. Note that unlike Mode 1 no CR/LF pair is added
to the data after stripping the trailing spaces.
