The command ESC,"X",09H,n sets the internal default values according to individual bits in
the value of n. In each case, a bit set(1) means the following statement is true:
Bit 0
Default to inverted print mode
Bit 1
Disable FontMode bits of ESC,”!”,n command
Bit 2
Suppress "?" printing on RX error
Bit 3
[Unassigned]
Bit 4
Enable Split dots printing (See MaxDotsAtOnce [m=33] for details)
Bit 5
[Unassigned]
Bit 6
Disable printing of partial data in buffer before going to sleep
Bit 7
[Unassigned]
Note: the setting of bit 0 does not come into effect until after the next sleep/waking mode
transition.
m=11 Set auto-sleep timeout period. (or request sleep mode immediately).
The command ESC,"X",0BH,n1,n2 sets the period of inactivity before the printer
automatically enters sleep mode.
The following two bytes define the period in seconds (n1+ 256*n2). For example, the string
1BH,58H,0BH,84H,03H sets a period of 15 minutes [(132+ 256*3) = 900 seconds].
The printer will normally print any buffer contents before entering sleep mode, but this can be
disabled. A value of 65535 (n1=n2=255) disables the auto-sleep feature; a value of zero
(n1=n2=0) leaves the stored setting intact, but enters sleep mode immediately. The printer
will never enter the sleep mode while a charger is connected. When in spooling mode, a
different sleep period setting is used (See Spool Sleep Period [m=50] for details).
The direct powered products (Ap1200, ATB102 and ATB1200) cannot enter sleep mode, but
this timeout period can be used to initiate an auto-purge of the buffer if required.
m=18 Set LED patterns.
The standard pattern set displayed by the printer has been worked out with a great deal of
care to provide the maximum useful information while remaining clear and unambiguous.
However they may be modified if required. Please refer to Able for details.
m=19 Set MT102FLAGS value.
The command ESC,"X",13H,n sets the internal values according to individual bits in the value
of n. In each case, a bit set(1) means the following statement is true:
Bit 0
[Must be set to enable paper out optical sensor]
Bit 1
Enable Mark Sense Operation
Bit 2
[Unassigned]
Bit 3
[Unassigned]
Bit 4
[Unassigned]
Bit 5
Led Pattern Dependent on Paper Out Sensor
Bit 6
[Must be set to enable head up sensor]
Bit 7
Led Pattern Dependent on Head Up Sensor
The standard setting for this value is: E1H for the Ap1300.
m=20 Set MarkFeed and EjectFeed values.
The command ESC,"X",14H,n1,n2 sets the values of MarkFeed and EjectFeed. These
parameters are used in Mark Sense operation. See MARK SENSE OPERATION section for
details.
