5.2 Host/PC-Download Commands
You can use host-download commands to change any or all of the Card’s
configuration parameters. These commands can be sent to the Card/printer
from a PC using the PC’s shared parallel port or from the IBM host.
Most host/PC-download commands are placed in a host or PC document or
print screen. The commands take effect when the print job or screen print is
sent to the printer. Regardless of what the incoming job is or where it came
from, the Card will recognize host-download commands embedded in it.
The command itself will not be printed if it was entered correctly, but the
effect of the command should be evident (change in the print orientation,
paper-size selection, etc.). If any part of the command is printed, the Card did
not recognize the command because of a problem in its format (in the way
the command was entered). Check the syntax of the command string, make
any necessary corrections, and send the command again.
Most download commands sent to the Card take effect immediately, and stay
in the Card’s active memory rather than being saved to NVRAM.
Section 5.3
provides a description of each command and how it is used.
Take the following steps to enter a host-download command:
1.
Type the command pass-through delimiter “&%” (or an alternate CPT
start delimiter, as described in the entry in
Section 5.3
for command
Z01) into the document at the point where you want the command to
take effect.
2.
Type an uppercase “Z”.
