Adding Strings Before and After Print Jobs
These string functions provide a way to send printer control com-
mands before and after each print job. They may be specified indi-
vidually for each logical printer. There must be a running Intermec
Fingerprint or Direct Protocol application program in the printer
that reads and executes the commands.
All strings are entered as hexadecimal byte values.
String Substitutions
The string substitution function performs search and replace opera-
tions on the print data. The primary application is to replace printer
control commands. Up to twenty string substitutions may be speci-
fied individually for each logical printer.
All strings must be entered as hexadecimal byte values, and each
match and substitute string must be preceded by a count byte.
Example 1:
Assume that you want to replace the UNIX New Line (hex
0A
)
with an ASCII NewLine (hex
0D 0A
) for logical printer PR1.
Follow the instructions below to substitute command strings:
1. Select the Printer1 Web page.
2. Enter the string 01 0A 02 0D 0A in the String Substitutions
text field.
