5.4.3.4 How to Edit Init String (Com 1, Com 2, and Parallel Port)
An initialization string can be used to customize the output to the device connected to a port on the receiver.
For example, you can skip over perforations, set proportional spacing, or condense the print output to a
printer. The display format for the init string is shown in Figure 5–7 and Table 5–6 lists the characters that
can be entered into the string.
Note:
Refer to the user manual of the device connected to the receiver for special command sequences.
Follow these steps to insert an initialization string:
<Edit Init String>
