PTX Transparent Control

Lead-in Chars

You can enable additional printer features which are not accessible through
standard coax emulations. To access these features, send text commands in
the data stream. The commands must have a start and end code. Three sets
(each containing a start and end code) are available:

Set 1. start code: <%

end code: >

Set 2. start code:

¬¬

end code: $

Set 3. start code: _%

end code: _

Alt. Set 80-9F

Printable. Prints data in the range of hex 80 through hex 9F.

Control Code. Interprets data in the range of hex 80 through hex 9F as a
control code.

Change Case

Specifies the font as Mono or Dual case. This option is available only in non-
SCS mode. The host will be notified of the change when the printer is put
online. Mono Case prints the same as Dual Case if the character set is one of
the following “right to left” sets: Katakana, Hebrew, Old Hebrew, and Farsi.

SCS (Systems Network Architecture Character String) Mode is controlled by
the host computer.

Set Text Orientation

Specifies the direction in which characters are printed on the page. This
allows the printer to print languages which are printed right to left instead of
left to right.

Control By Host. Allows printers configured as a 4234 to use the “Set
Text Orientation” command from the host.

Left To Right.

Right To Left. When a right to left language is selected, the host will be
notified of print direction changes when the printer is put ONLINE.
