AppleTalk Configuration
Esc&b#W[key]<sp>[value]
• # value can be from 0 to 32767.
• # stands for number of bytes in the data which is followed this command.
• [key] should be [RENAME], [JOB] or [TYPE].
• If the key is [RENAME], this command allows the printer to change the name field of AppleTalk name
binding protocol.
<ESC>&b#WRENAME<sp>printername
printername should be specified with 1 to 31 characters.
The character $00 to $FF (except for $00, @, :, *, =, $C5) can be used for printername.
$00 is used for terminater.
If invalid characters are used, this command is ignored.
• If the [key] is set to [JOB], this command changes the current job name.
<ESC>&b#WJOB<sp>jobname
All character from $00 to $FF can be used for jobname.
jobname can have maximum 127 characters.

MIO Video I/O port control
HL-1260 has only "VSREQ" signal for vertical syncronization signal to be sent to MIO port. This cause a little
delay of actual printing start after sending VSREQ signal, if the video controller have interrupt. This delay causes
the incorrect printing position vertically. To avoid the problem, the following command is useful.
EscCR!12340M
• Laser diode drive port of video interface of MIO port is closed.
EscCR!12341M
• Laser diode drive port of video interface of MIO port is opened.
EscCR!12342M
• Laser diode drive port of video interface of MIO port is opened and send the print start command to printer
engine immediately after sending the VSREQ signal.
