COMMAND 57: HOST 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 initialize the
printer for host printing after
shared-port printing has occurred.
The interface also restores the host
page-format parameters after
sending this string and prior to host
printing. The initialization string is
sent at the beginning of each page.
VALUE DESCRIPTION
1(max. 25 Defines the host-
bytes of port init string
ASCII hex
code)
1() Deletes the host-
port init string
NOTES
To aid in readability, a single
space is allowed between
hex bytes but is not included
in the string.
The host-port initialization
string is only sent to the
printer when you turn the
printer on and after printing
by the shared parallel port
has occurred.
Host SCS commands and
download commands have
priority over the initialization
string instructions.
To change the initialization
string, simply input the new
command values. The old
string is automatically
erased.
To delete the initialization
string from the permanent
memory, simply type the
parentheses with nothing
between them.
Example: &%Z57,1( ) deletes from
permanent memory any hex string
that had been previously defined for
the host-port initialization string
COMMAND 58: SERIAL-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 serial port.
VALUE DESCRIPTION
1(max. 25 Defines the serial-
bytes of port init string
ASCII hex
code)
1() Deletes the serial-
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
serial shared port.
