  • Page 10: Compatible System Attachments

    Defining IPDS IPDS is both a protocol and a printer mode. The two terms do not mean the same thing. The Protocol A protocol is a set of rules governing the exchange of information between the printer and the host computer.

  • Page 11: Configuring With Ipds Commands

    The commands used to store and present overlays that contain text, graphics, image, and bar code information. This set contains commands that let you set up a page and manage printer-host communication.

  • Page 12: The Data Towers

    (PTOCA) commands are a part of the text data tower. This information is necessary to print text in a page, a page segment, or an overlay. The image data enables the printer to print images in a page, a page segment, or an overlay. This is not supported.

  • Page 13: Processing A Page

    Figure 1. State Transition Processing a Page Your printer can print page by page or it can behave as a line printer. This section describes how the printer prints page by page. (The User's Manual explains the two printing methods in more detail.) Your IPDS-capable printer builds a page by gathering all the page descriptor commands and data blocks that are specified in the data stream.

  • Page 14: The Command Syntax

    To print a bar code, for example, Bar Code commands must be in the data stream. As each type of data block is stored in memory, the printer moves from state to state. For example, when the printer is reading the Bar Code commands, it is in the bar code state.

  • Page 15: The Text Commands

    The following commands are used to present text blocks in a page, a page segment, or an overlay. Load Equivalence (LE) Byte D61D Count This command allows the printer to use a single suppression ID for more than one suppression pair. Write Text (WT) Byte D62D Count Use this command to send character data and controls to the printer.

    93953 The fonts listed in Table 2 as standard is available by default in every non- impact build. The optional fonts are available as part of the Printronix Additional Font Diskettes. NOTE: Download the optional fonts to the printer’s flash memory separately to make them available for IPDS.

  • Page 18: Images

    Chapter The IPDS Emulation Images The physical page is the actual medium used, such as a continuous form or an 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet of paper. The logical page is mapped onto the physical page; you can set its size and position inside the physical page.

  • Page 19: Write Image (Wi)

    Write Image (WI) Byte Count This command is used to denote image data to be printed. Graphics Graphics contain line drawings, such as arcs and lines. The area containing the entire drawing is called the graphics presentation space. Usually, only a part of the drawing will be printed. This part is referred to as the graphics presentation space window.

  • Page 20: The Graphics Command Set

    Chapter The IPDS Emulation The Graphics Command Set The following commands are used to present graphics in a page, a page segment, or an overlay. Write Graphics Control (WGC) Byte Count WGC specifies the graphics block position, size and orientation; it specifies the graphics presentation space window size and location inside the graphics presentation space;...

  • Page 21: The Bar Code Command Set

    Count This command sends Bar Code Object Content Architecture data to the printer and applies to only one bar code symbol. To print another bar code symbol, you must send another WBC command. The following table displays the code and bar code type.

  • Page 22: The Page Segment Command Set

    This command identifies the data following as data for a page segment. Delete Page Segment (DPS) Byte Count DPS instructs the printer to delete one or all of the stored page segments. Include Page Segment (IPS) Byte Count When you issue an IPS command, a stored page segment can be processed as if the printer had just received it.

  • Page 23: The Overlay Command Set

    The Apply Finishing Operations (AFO) command is valid only in home state. It directs the printer to apply zero or more finishing operations to the current sheet and each copy of that sheet. The current sheet is the sheet in which the first copy of the next received page is printed.

  • Page 24: Begin Page (Bp)

    The IPDS Emulation Begin Page (BP) Byte Count This command indicates the beginning of a page and causes the printer to enter the page state. Byte Count This command notes the end of a block containing: an image, graphics, or bar codes.

  • Page 25: No Operation (Nop)

    Sense Type and Model (STM) Byte D6E4 Count This command asks the printer to identify its capabilities. The printer responds with one or more Acknowledge Replies, which contain general information and command set vectors that identify supported IPDS function sets and subsets.

  • Page 30: Set Home State (Shs)

    Byte Count SHS instructs the printer to return to the home state. If the printer is in the process of printing (in page state), the current page ends and prints the data up to the time of the SHS command. Depending when the SHS command was sent, either a complete or partially completed page prints.
