Ln Leaves the last n symbols in the string
Mn.n Separates n symbosl from the string starting from the position m.
# If the string can be interpreted as a whole number cutts off the
leading zeros.
Counters:
Format: n Logical number of the counter
Cn[Modifiers]
Modifiers:
Their meaning and functions are the same as with the variables.
The order in which the printer processes the variables and the
counters is as follows:
- The present values of the counter/variable is taken as a starting
point.
- Its formatting is performed depending on the way it is defined
with the command V or C.
- All modifiers are executed from left to right.
- The resulting string is added to the end of the string, resulting
from the processing of the previous elements.
Examples:
“Date:”TD” Time:”TT V0><C1L3 will generate: Date:02 OCT.2001 Time 16.30
V0><C1L3 will create a tring from the variable V0, which is cleared off leading
and end intervals as well as the left 3 symbols from the counter C1.
V0L1V0M3.2V0R1 will create a string, which will include the first, third, fourth and
last symbol of the variable V0.
D. Working with forms
Starting to save This command starts the entry of a new form in the operational
a new form memory of the printer. All valid commands which are sent to the
printer between this command and FE will be saved in this form. If
any of the commands is rejected due to syntax error because it
has not been accepted in a form it will not be saved. If there is a
previous form with this name it must be deleted with FK - in the
opposite case the command will be rejected.
Format: FS”Name” Name is the name of the file which have at the most 8 symbols.
All symbols with ASCII codes are acceptable - between 32 ans
127 including without the symbol ‘*’. Small and capital letters are
not distinguished so that “Test” and “TEST” are one and the same
form.
Example: FS”Test”
