3.10 Programming

CAUTION: DURING PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT ALL PRINTING SHOULD BE DONE ON
SINGLE SHEET PAPER UNTIL PRINT IS CORRECTLY FORMATTED. PRINTING ACROSS
THICK FOLDS AND DOCUMENT EDGES CAN DAMAGE THE PRINTHEAD.

Two separate command sets, C and I, are selectable either from the keypad using 9 3 FUNCT
(see 3.5.2) or the interface. Mode C is compatible with previous versions of this printer while
mode I is compatible with popular PC based printers. Many commands are identical in both C
and I modes. Unique mode C commands are indicated by (C) and unique mode I commands
are indicated by (I) in the command summary table. Mode C keypad, display and status and
key buffer request commands can still be accessed in Mode I by preceding the Mode C
command with a ESC character. A Windows printer driver for an IBM Proprinter X24 may be
used but the Craden driver is preferred as it defines common transaction document widths,
provides faster throughput in landscape mode, and facilitates writing messages to the display.
