COMMAND 55: CUSTOM USER
STRINGS
Allows the user to define up to six
custom user strings, of up to 25 bytes
each, which are stored in the
memory of the interface and sent to
the printer whenever the character
delimiter, letter U, and number of
the string appears in the text of the
document (for example, &%U3).
VALUE DESCRIPTION
0-5(max. 25 Defines the custom
bytes of user string
ASCII hex
code)
0-5() Deletes custom user
string
NOTES
To aid in readability, a single
space is allowed between
hex bytes, but is not
included in the string.
The strings could specify a
special font-selection
command or other custom
command to be sent directly
to the printer.
This command, if placed as
the first printable data at the
top of the page (position 1,
line 1), will be sent to the
printer prior to the data.
To change a custom user
string, simply input the new
custom user string values;
the old string is
automatically erased.
Example: &%Z55,3(1B01)
Defines the &%U3 custom user
string to send an “Escape and SOH”
(1B and 01 hex) to the printer,
which is the double wide command.)
COMMAND 56: PARALLEL PORT
INITIALIZATION STRING
Allows the user to define an
initialization string of up to 25 bytes,
which is stored in the memory of the
interface and is sent to the printer at
the beginning of any printing
received from the parallel port.
VALUE DESCRIPTION
1(max. 25 Defines the parallel
bytes of port init string
ASCII hex
code)
1() Deletes the parallel
port init string
NOTES
To aid in readability, a single
space is allowed between
hex bytes but is not included
in the string.
The string could specify a
special font-selection
command or other custom
command to be sent directly
to the printer prior to the
data that is received from the
parallel shared port.
To change the initialization
string, simply input the new
command values. The entire
old string is automatically
erased.
To delete the initialization
string from the NV memory,
simply put nothing between
the parentheses.
Example: &%Z56,1( ) deletes from
NV memory any hex string that had
been previously defined for the
parallel-port initialization string.
