APPENDIX D – TowerFeed Control Command
Software
The paper selection for TowerFeed is made by control commands (ESCAPE sequences). These commands have
to be implemented in the application and the print jobs. The following alternatives can be applied:
•
WINDOWS: Using the Windows driver will automatically produce the respective control commands.
• Control by the printer driver (in non-WINDOWS environments)
• Adding the control sequences directly to the print file
• Implementing the control into the application program
The alternatives will be discussed in more details later on.
TowerFeed Programming
For TowerFeed, a set of commands has been defined for various functions. These functions include the actual feed

TowerFeed command set is being used:
•
