Modes

Response Mode
This feature was added to the datastream adapter to allow the definition of a
protocol: an interaction between the host computer and the printer that allows
the host computer to determine status details of the printer. This allows you to
be certain that a job (or label, or form) is completely printed before the next
job is sent.
The Status Response definition feature allows the user to specify what input
string will be used by the host computer to request a status report from the
printer. It also allows the actual response to be defined, and the connection of
a certain printer status as a condition to this response.
The extra attribute for Response is Flush.
PAA Event Mode
In the PAA Event mode, when the defined character sequence in the Input
field is found, an event is generated that can be handled by the GPIO. The
event generated is determined by the Event ID value. Up to 65,535 different
events can be identified using the Event ID parameter.
The extra attribute for PAA Event is Flush.
Store Mode
The Store mode is used to store information from the host data so it can be
used by other modes that allow variables in the Output field. It requires
exactly one variable to be set in the OCS field. As a result this mode can only
be selected if one or more variables are defined.
Right-click the Output field and a pop-up menu appears with the available
variables. See Figure 143. All characters in the Input field that have the
Include attribute selected (see “Attributes” on page 166) are copied into the
selected variable. By default, all characters typed or copied into the Input field
have the Include attribute selected. The entry can only be added to the active
table if a variable has been set. If you select the wrong variable, the variable in
the Output field needs to be removed first before another variable can be
selected.
The extra attributes for Store are Flush and Include.
