Predefine messages
EIA-232 Syntax:
GS : message# data GS : or X'1D3A;message#;data;1D3A'
where:
message# The message number being stored.
range is 1 to 25 for all models except TI8 and TI9
range is 1 to 255 for Models TI8 and TI9
data All data and commands to be included in this message. No
immediate commands can be included in the data.
Purpose:
To store predefined messages. This cuts transmission time. This is where
you can store the header and the trailer of receipts, for example.
Remarks:
v After a ″GS :″ occurs, all incoming commands are stored in the message
until another ″GS :″ occurs.
v “Print predefined graphics (logo) command” on page 159 can be included
in this command.
v The size of all predefined messages can not exceed 8000 bytes for all
models except TI8 and TI9, in which the value is user-defineable.
Example:
Store a trailer message:
X'1D3A01'
’Thank You For Shopping’ X'0D'
’ At RSD STORE’ X'0D'
’Store #1234567’ X'0D'
X'1D3A'
This would store this message as predefined message 1. See “Print
predefined messages” on page 159 for printing this trailer message.
Commands for selecting the print station and print characteristics must be
included with the stored message.
