APPENDIX E.
CUSTOM PROTOCOL COMMAND CODES
DESCRIPTION
This section contains information on creating custom Protocol Command Codes for
operating the CL Series printers. The Protocol Command codes are used to tell the
printer that a specific type of information is being transmitted to the printer. As an
example, the Standard Protocol Command Code specifies the use of an
<ESC>character to tell the printer that the following character(s) will represent a
specific command. Sometimes the host computer is unable to generate the character
or it uses the <ESC> character to control another function. In this case, an Alternate
Protocol Command Code set can be selected for use by placing DIP switch 2-7 in the
ON position. When the Alternate set is selected, the <ESC> character is not used and
is instead replaced with a “carrot” (^) character. A command stream would then
start with an “^A” instead of an “<ESC>A”. These two sets of Protocol Command
Codes are adequate for the majority of all applications, but ocassionally situations
occur where conflicts exist when using the Alternate set. In these cases, the user can
define and download a custom set of Protocol Command Codes that are stored in
EEPROM memory in the printer. After these are downloaded, they replace the
Alternate Command Code set when DIP switch DS2-7 is in the ON position. When
DIP switch DS2-7 is in the OFF position, the Standard Protocol Command Codes are
used.
DOWNLOAD COMMAND STRUCTURE
The command for downloading a new set of Protocol Command Codes takes the form
of
The parameters specified for “a” through “i” can be
transmitted in either ASCII characters or hex notation, allowing a complete 128
character (except for the “,”) set to be used for selecting the custom code.
