4-5 Sending a Multitop per head and postdate 2 per jet
CALCULATOR
PRINTER
Details of the data
• "Multitop" bytes:
This is the number of a message to be printed per DTOP (default value = 1).
The multitop value must be identical for all the jets on a head.
It must be specific to each head in the case of 2-head printers.
The multitop value for head 1 must be entered at jet 1 (master jet).
The multitop value for head 2 must be entered at jet 3 (master jet).
• "Postdate 2" bytes: (from 0 to 9999 days) or (from 0 to 1872 months), bit 14 to bit 0
- unit in days = 0 in bit 15
- unit in months = 1 in bit 15
S4 printers:
The second postdate can only be accessed via V24.
It can be different for each jet but is the same for all the messages assigned to any given jet.
To obtain a different postdate 2 for another message, it is necessary to transmit the new
postdate interval using the command 4Fh.
S4 Plus printers:
The second postdate is accessible via the printer’s operator interface.
It is included in the messages and can be different for each jet and each message.
ATTENTION
If the message is selected via the machine’s parallel interface,
operation remains identical to that described in the case of S4
printers.
