Page 4: Esc-Sequences
Plus Software Manual ESC-sequences 1 ESC-sequences This part of the manual contains printer commands to directly control the printer. It is subdivided into four chapters (control sequences, object sequences, objects and preferred control sequences). 1.1 Creation of data records Here, the structure of a data record as well as the application of the different sequences is shown. -
Page 5: Utilization Of Control Sequences
Object blocks define the actual printout after the printer configuration has been made. The PLUS is equipped with its own job control language. This language is incompatible to other line- oriented matrix printers, but it offers considerable possibilities to create a layout. Lines of text as well as barcodes and logos can be printed at will on a card in various forms and directions. -
Page 6: Example For A Data Record
Plus Software Manual ESC-sequences Object sequence, object The card layout includes different types of data fields. An object sequence transfers one parameter for the specification of this field. An object is formally an object sequence and specifies the field type (text, barcode, logo/line/frame). -
