Your printer emulates, i.e. “understands” the Olivetti PR2 in its standard version. Escape sequences Escape sequences or control codes tell the printer that the following transmitted code is a printer command and not a printable character.

  • Page 116: What Are Escape Sequences

    What are escape sequences? Control codes How are escape sequences used? An escape sequence consists of an ESCape control character (ESC = decimal 27 or hexadecimal 1B) followed by one or more characters, which represent commands to the printer. Please note that this escape character has nothing to do with the ESC key on your computer key- board.

    Interfaces Interface settings for User 1 and User 2 Your printer offers the possibility of operating either via a parallel, a se- rial or a USB interface. There is a printer model with a second serial in- terface. This chapter informs you about the interfaces and describes the communication between your computer and the printer.

  • Page 132: Parallel Interface

    Parallel interface Connector assignment The bidirectional parallel interface offers the so called “nibble” mode of the IEEE1284 interface norm. This enables installation in accor- dance with Windows “Plug & Play”. The standard parallel interface is able to transfer data at a speed of max. 30,000 bytes per second.

  • Page 136: Handshaking

    Handshaking Handshaking in the serial environment is most commonly handled by manipulating the following 4 handshaking lines: RTS (Request to Send) CTS (Clear to Send) DSR (Data Set Ready) DTR (Data Terminal Ready) Ready/Busy When Ready/Busy protocol is selected, DTR will be used to pace the data flow from PC.

  • Page 137: Configuring The Serial Interface Of The Pc

    Configuring the serial interface of the PC DOS mode To use the serial interface of your PC, you must add the following mode commands to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file: mode com1:9600,n,8,1,p mode lpt1:= com1: With the first MODE command, you configure the serial interface Com1 of your PC to the printer’s factory defaults.
