CHAPTER 5: Configuration
3.
Type the number of the command you want to use, as shown in the
examples in
Section 5.3
. Always use two digits for the command number
(“&%Z05,” for example).
4.
Type a comma.
5.
Type the argument (the value) representing your desired selection. No
spaces are allowed. A space or invalid character in a command causes the
Card to ignore the command and resume printing from the point where
the error occurred.
6.
Terminate the download command with a single space or control
character (“NL,” “FF,” “CR,” or “LF,” for example).
7.
Multiple commands can be chained together by using a forward slash
(“/”) or backslash (“\”) to separate the commands (no spaces are
allowed).
As with a single command, the overall command string must begin with
“&%” or the alternate CPT-start delimiter, and must end with a single
space or control character (see Step 6). The terminating space or
control character is not sent to the printer, but the host-download
commands are sent to the printer and take effect immediately on the
page where they are located.
Here is a general template for a string containing multiple commands:
&%Z
xx
,
y
/Z
xx
,
yy
/Z
xx
,
yyy
C
where
xx
= the command no.;
y
,
yy
, etc. = the argument; and
C
= a space or control charac-ter.
For example, to set the host-port timeout (command 03) to 20 seconds
(argument 20), change the host language (command 05) to Austrian/
German (argument 02), and select long-edge duplexing (command 33,
argument 1), type:
&%Z03,20/Z05,2/Z33,1
