Printer Parameters
The IDS 410/422 provides a universal printer interface for various printers. The printer interface
allows you to select and customize the data output for serial printers.
Parameter 30: Auto Print LF after CR (1 [yes])
Some printers require a line feed character (LF) to advance the paper and some printers advance
the paper with only a carriage return character (CR).
Enter a 1 to automatically add a line feed after a carriage return.
Enter a 0 to NOT add a line feed after a carriage return.
Parameter 31: End of Print Character (12 [form feed])
The end of print character is sent to the printer at the end of a print transmission. If your printer
requires a special character to release the paper or to form feed the paper, enter the code here.
The ASCII chart in the appendix lists the ASCII codes and their numeric values. Enter a 0 (zero)
if no end of print character is required.
Parameters 32, 33, 34, 84, 85, 86 and 87: Print Labels
The IDS 410/422 provide 7 programmable print labels. They are available for printing company
name, address, station ID, or other messages. Labels 32, 33, and 34 have up to 16 characters.
Labels 84, 85, 86, and 87 have up to 30 characters. Use the ASCII chart in the appendix to look
up the numeric values of the ASCII codes. Remember to enter a 0 as the last entry of the print
label.
Example: Select parameter 32 to begin Print Label 1 entry. The IDS 410/422 prompts "C0 xxx"
where xxx is the current character 0 entry. For example, to enter IDS INC., enter:
