A/C-7P RO, A/C-7S RO
6. Advanced Features
1. Find the command for the print
feature in the printer’s user’s
guide.
2. Convert the printer command
to hexadecimal.
3. Place the beginning delimiter
&% (or the custom delimiter as
defined with command 40) in
the document at the point you
want the feature to take effect.
This signals the start of the print
feature. Enter the beginning
printer command, then enter
the ending delimiter &% (or the
custom delimiter as defined with
command 39). No spaces are
allowed.
4. Move the cursor to the point in
the text where you want to end
the print feature. Enter the
delimiter followed by the ending
printer command and then the
delimiter again, into the
document.
For example:
The command ESC &d0D begins
underlining and ESC &d@ ends
underlining. First convert the start
command to the hexadecimal 1B 26
64 30 44 and the ending command
to 1B 26 64 40. And, if the delimiter
is the default &% (hex 50 6C), then
enter the commands as follows:
There are several advanced features
in the A/C-7 RO for accessing
special functions of the printers,
which are not normally available on
the IBM system printers:
• Command Pass-Thru™
• Custom User Strings
• SCS Mode Transparent Data
• Bar Code Printing
• Color Printing
• I-O Graphics Language™
Each of these features is described
below.
6.1 Command Pass-Thru™
The Command Pass-Thru feature
allows access to all of the built-in
features of your printer, even if these
features aren’t normally available
through the host software.
Command Pass-Thru lets you place
printer-specific command sequences
into the data sent to the printer. The
A/C-7 RO recognizes these special
sequences and “passes the command
through” to the printer. The steps
below describe how to use
Command Pass-Thru.
