Apply margin message mode (ColorPOS

®

)

ASCII

US 0x99 l m n o

Hexadecimal 1D 99 l m n o
Decimal

29 153 l m n o

Value of l:

l is a binary switch:

0 = disables margin message merging

1 = enable left margin message merging

2 = enable right margin message

merging

l> 2 ignore command

Value of m:

m is the ID (index) of the logo to be used

in the merging. If a logo with index m

does not exist or is wider than the print

raster width then this command is

ignored.

Value of n:

n is the number of raster rows to be

empty (skipped) before repeating the

designated margin message merge

Value of o:

o is a right – left toggle switch:

o = 0 no toggling of the margin

message merge

o = 1 enable toggling, starting with a left

margin message first

o = 2 enable toggling, starting with a

right margin message first

o > 2 ignore entire command

This command performs a dynamic merge of a designated
logo/message (or logo/message pair, which can be the
same) into each raster line to be printed after the character
data has been placed and in conjunction with any other
active merge modes. The parameter l specifies whether
merging should take place from the left side or the right
side. A left side merge followed by a right side merge
(or vice-versa) must be issued, with the latter side merge
command setting the toggle switch = 1 or 2 will create the
desired left – right printing effect. Each merge side retains
its n value of raster rows to be skipped. If toggling is not
selected when both sides are defined, then if the n skip row
values are different, or the logo height sizes are different,
the side logos will not line up as printing progresses. If
toggling is selected then both left and right sides merge
margin message must be defined; otherwise toggling is
ignored.
Each side logo can be > ½ of the raster print line. In that
case the printing process is additive in the overlap region.
This command with the first parameter l = 0 turns all
margin message merging to off.

Set temporary max target speed

ASCII

GS 0xA0 nl nh

Hexadecimal 1D A0 nl nh
Decimal

29

Values:

15H - B4H monochrome

15H - 64H color

Default:

0 - normal speed

This command sets a specific speed for an operation,
allowing the user more control of the print environment.

The speed is maintained as long as it is less than the speed
automatically set by power management. A parameter of
zero (0) restores the normal max speed.
