This chapter also explains the functions which can be activated by means of the program in a short, comprehensive summary.

  • Page 24: Ascii Code

    Encryptions/Codes ASCII code A code table specifies how the printable characters and control commands, for example, for document ejection and carriage return are encrypted binarily in the computer or printer. The encryption is expressed by a corresponding hexadeci- mal or decimal number. A certain character then lies in hexadecimal notation or in the decimal representation, for example, in the range hex 00 to hex FF or de- cimal 0 to decimal 255 (8- bit encryption).
  • Page 25 Programming interface (General) characters depending on the command I (= Intermediate Character) and F (= Final Character). The CSI sequences are used to control special docu- ment printer functions for document and MSR processing (see “document printer specifications” in this chapter and the chapter “Additional com- mands”).

  • Page 26: Activating The Document Printer Functions

    Encryptions/Codes Activating the document printer functions The control codes or ESC or CSI sequences must be addressed to the printer directly and uniquely via corresponding program commands. Depending on the respective programming language, this is, e. g., via PRINT or WRITE instructions Example: Three lines are to be printed.

  • Page 27: Print Effects

    Programming interface (General) Print effects The design of a print product is dependent on the print quality, type font, type size or character width and highlighting text, e. g., by underlining or bold print. Print quality The print quality is characterized by the density of the print characters and by the print rate.

  • Page 28: Fonts

    Print effects Fonts In addition to the DQ font for drafts, the default fonts Roman, Sans Serif, OCR A (OCR A1 Eurobanking) and OCR B (OCR B1 Eurobanking), as well as the cha- racter set ISO 8859 with the following versions are available for Letter Quality (LQ mode): –...

  • Page 29: Font Size / Character Density

    Programming interface (General) Font size / character density The width of a printed character is expressed in ’characters per inch’ (cpi) and is often called ’character density’, for example 10 characters per inch = 10 cpi The document printer can print in the character widths 10, 12 and 15 pitch. Each individual character is then the same width.
  • Page 30 Print effects Programming interface (General) Condensed print If printing takes place in 10 or 12 pitch in condensed print, each character can be reduced to 60% of its width in normal print. Example: T5023/5023+ - Programming Guide...

  • Page 31: Highlighting Text

    Programming interface (General) Highlighting text The following print functions of the document printer can be influenced by corre- sponding ESC sequences: – Double impact print/ bold print – Underlining – Superscript/ subscript – Double Superscript Double impact print / bold print With double impact print (= vertical bold print) the print head goes over each line twice.
  • Page 32 Print effects Programming interface (General) Superscript / subscript Footnotes, equation or special text designs are possible by switching superscript and subscript on and off. Example: T5023/5023+ - Programming Guide...

  • Page 35: Character Tables

    Programming interface (General) Character tables Two areas are differentiated with the printable characters in a code table: – Area with the basic character set of each type font (Draft standard type, Ro- man, Sans Serif). This area is also called the ’basic character table’. The characters of the basic character table are encrypted in ASCII by the co- des hex 20 to hex 7F (decimal 32 to 127).

  • Page 36: National Character Sets

    Character tables National character sets By selecting a national character set, characters used in other languages are ad- ditionally available to the user. The selection of national character sets results via an ESC sequence or via the operating panel of the printer. These characters replace in each case the corresponding encrypted characters in the basic cha- racter table.

  • Page 37: Graphics

    Programming interface (General) Character tables where each dot is to be printed. Characters defined by the user are copied by means of ESC sequences into the me- mory of the document printer. It is possible to switch over at will between the normal character set and that defined by the user Graphics Via the document printer simple pictures and/ or diagrams can first be presented...

  • Page 38: Document Printer Specifications

    Document printer specifications Document printer specifications Business procedures or transactions in a financial institution involve a series of manual and program activities, e. g., the insertion and removal of documents and passbooks or the entry of deposits and withdrawals, bank code and account number.

  • Page 39: Document Printing

    Programming interface (General) Document printing For documents (DIN A4 sheets, standard forms) or passbooks the logical struc- ture of a document must be considered. Example (passbook constants) Page heading area (is not printed during a passbook transaction) Area with lines for logging deposits and withdrawals Last printable line Footer area (is not printed during a passbook transaction).

  • Page 40: Magnetic Stripe Processing

    Document printer specifications Magnetic stripe processing The device called MSR is used for processing magnetic stripes on passbooks. The MSR equipment allows an automatic reading and updating of data in en- crypted form. In what form the appropriate data is encrypted on a MSR magnetic stripe de- pends on the respective recording mode (DIN/IBM).

  • Page 41: Special Features Of The Document Processing

    Programming interface (General) Document printer specifications Special features of the document processing When processing documents, in contrast to the normal processing of single sheets or continuous forms, the varying sizes of the documents and the docu- ment feeding mode must be considered.

    Notes about command description Example of a formal command description (command syntax): Command name/ESC sequence Decimal encryption according to ASCII table Hexadecimal encryption according to ASCII table ƒ Coding of decimal command parameters All command parameters n or n1, n2, etc. in the ESC sequences of the Epson- compatible commands must be transferred to the document printer in binary co- ded form and not as ASCII characters.
  • Page 45 Standard commands Example: Determining the document length at n inche Function: ESC C NUL( n) sets the document length at n inches (absolute document length independent of the line spacing). The value n must be between 1 (inch) and 22 (inches). Parameter value of n must be encrypted binarily Note on which values the parameter n can have In contrast to the ESC sequences of the standard, character set and...
  • Page 46 Notes about command description Example: BEGIN PRINTLF("Print page with bottom margin") CALL LINE PRINT PRINT(char(27),"O") PRINTLF("Print page without bottom margin") CALL LINE PRINT BEGIN LINE PRINT SET N = 0 REPEAT SET N = N + 1 PRINTLF("Line", N,"after title") UNTIL N = 6 END LINE PRINT Explanation of the pseudo code instructions:...
  • Page 47 Standard commands When defining subprograms, after BEGIN and END the subprogram name is specified (for example, BEGIN LINE PRINT ... END LINE PRINT). The instruction within REPEAT ... UNTIL (loop body) are executed until the abort criterion specified after UNTIL is fulfilled (for example, REPEAT ... UNTIL N = 6).
  • Page 48 Notes about command description The following values occur as arguments of PRINT and PRINTLF Argument "x" character (x) character (a, b,..., n) "text" A, B, C,..., N or counter, page, pass, etc. On ’x’: For example, C as printable character can be specified directly by means of ’C’ in the sequence ESC C NUL (n) or by means of char (67), whereby 67 is the decimal ASCII encryption of C.
  • Page 49 Standard commands Setting the document length (for example, 6 inches = ESC C NULL 6) PRINT( char(27,67,0,6)) PRINT( char(27),"C", char(0), char(6)) Initializing the printer after printing with line feed PRINT("text", char(10), char(27),"@") PRINT("text") PRINT(char( 10)) PRINT(char( 27),"@") PRINTLF("text") PRINT(char(27),"@") Printing variable values: SET counter = 0 REPEAT SET counter = counter + 1...
  • Page 50 Notes about command description Reaction to incorrect parameters or incorrect syntax Normally incorrect parameters n, n1, etc. are automatically replaced by the re- spective default value (for example, if the specified value range is exceeded). Commands with parameters which are within the specified value range, but inf- ringe on the set conditions, are ignored (for example, if horizontal absolute posi- tioning is attempted outside the possible print area).

  • Page 51: Controlling The Configuration Of The Printer

    Standard commands Controlling the configuration of the printer The status of the printer can be controlled from a program irrespective of the data to be printed via the following control commands: Command Function ESC @ Initializing the printer ESC < Selecting unidirectional printing for one line ESC U (n) Unidirectional printing mode on/ off one line...

  • Page 52: Initializing The Printer

    Controlling the configuration of the printer Initializing the printer Function: Via ESC @ the printer can be reset by the program to certain operating conditi- ons (initializing of software). ESC @ resets the printer to the default values and deletes all the print data of the current line out of the print buffer, which were transmitted prior to the command.
  • Page 53 Standard commands When initializing or defining printer parameters for certain applications, the following cases are to be differentiated: – Parameters, which are specified by means of their default value – Parameters, which are set by corresponding ESC sequences (do- cument length, type font, character width, etc.) –...

  • Page 54: Selecting Unidirectional Printing For One Line

    Controlling the configuration of the printer Selecting unidirectional printing for one line < Function: Via ESC < the next printing line is printed from right to left. This command will be cancelled automatically by a carriage return (CR). Switching the unidirectional printing mode on/ off Function: Normally printing is bidirectional (optimal printing path).

  • Page 56: Setting The Msb To 1

    Controlling the configuration of the printer Setting the MSB to 1 > Function: ESC > sets the most significant bit (MSB) of all incoming data to 1. Thus it is pos- sible to print italic or graphics characters or characters defined by the user for programs on computers, which only transfer 7- bit data (access to character ta- ble range from hex 80 to hex FF).

  • Page 57: Setting The Msb To 0

    Standard commands Setting the MSB to 0 Function: ESC = sets the most significant bit (MSB) of all incoming data to 0 (zero). Thus it is possible to print characters of the standard code table even for programs on compu- ters which only transfer 7- bit data.

  • Page 58: Deleting The Msb Specification

    Controlling the configuration of the printer Deleting the MSB specification Function: ESC # cancels the MSB specification (deleting or setting the most significant bit) resulting from ESC = or ESC > An MSB specification resulting from ESC = or ESC > is also cancelled, when the printer is initialized with software (see ESC @).

  • Page 59: Printer Offline

    Standard commands Printer offline Function: DC3 (device control 3) switches the printer offline (printer inactive) until a DC1 code (printer online) is received. In no way can the printer be reactivated via the STOP key. Printer online Function: DC1 (device control 1) switches the printer back online after it has previously been switched offline by a DC3 code.

  • Page 60: Automatic Single Sheet Feeder On/Off

    Controlling the configuration of the printer Automatic single sheet feeder on/off ASC II Decimal Since the automatic single sheet feeder is not available for the document printer, all other parameters (n = R) are ignored except for one. Instead of ESC EM R (= sheet ejection) use the FF (Form Feed) com- mand to do without the ESC EM command altogether in an application.

  • Page 61: Special Character Codes

    Standard commands Special character codes In this chapter the following commands are described: Command Function Carriage Return Backspace of one character Deleting a character Canceling a line Carriage return Function: After CR (carriage return) the data contained in the buffer is printed and the print head is returned logically to the left edge.
  • Page 62 Special character codes Result: – CR without line feed – CR with line feed T5023/5023+ - Programming Guide Standard commands...

  • Page 63: Backspace Of One Character

    Standard commands Backspace of one character Function: After each BS character (backspace) the print head is moved logically one cha- racter to the left. Thus characters can be printed one upon the other. If this command is received immediately following graphics printing, the print head will return to the position in which it was before the start of graphics prin- ting.

  • Page 64: Deleting A Character

    Special character codes Deleting a character Function: DEL (Delete) deletes the previous text character in the buffer as long as it has not yet been printed. The control codes remain unchanged. Cancelling a line Function: CAN (Cancel) cancels in the printing buffer the whole text of one print line prior to this code, but not the control codes.

  • Page 65: Line Feed Commands

    Standard commands Line feed commands The standard line spacing amounts to six lines per inch, i. e. the line spacing is 1/ 6 inch. The line spacing can be changed using the following commands, whereby the smal- lest unit for the line spacing is 1/ 180 inch. The corresponding line feed is carried out depending on the set line spacing: Command Function...

  • Page 66: Line Feed

    Line feed commands Line feed Function: On receipt of the command LF (line feed) the data contained in the buffer is printed and the paper transported one line further according to the current line spacing – If after LF the logical bottom edge of the sheet is exceeded (depen- ding on the set document format), the document is ejected.

  • Page 67: Carrying Out An N/ 180 Inch Line Feed

    Standard commands Carrying out an n/ 180 inch line feed Function: ESC J (n) transports the paper n/ 180 inch on. A value between 0 and 255 must be given for n. This command produces an immediate line feed, but does not ef- fect a carriage return (no CR with positioning of the print head at the beginning of the line).

  • Page 68: Determining 1/8 Inch Line Spacing

    Line feed commands Determining 1/8 inch line spacing Function: ESC 0 sets the line spacing to 1/8 inch for the subsequent line feed commands. The 0 is the ASCII character for the figure zero and not the ASCII code 0 The line spacing set by ESC 0 is cancelled, if –...

  • Page 69: Determining 1/6 Inch Line Spacing

    Standard commands Determining 1/6 inch line spacing Function: ESC 2 sets the line spacing to 1/ 6 inch for the subsequent line feed commands. This value is the effective default value when the printer is switched on. The 2 is the ASCII character for the figure two and not the ASCII code 2. Example: see ESC 0.

    Important notes on document processing Additional commands (Printer) Definition 2: The reference line for vertical positioning on the document printer is the base line (needle 20). The distances between print characters and reference lines above and below the print characters specified in this manual always refer to this base line.
  • Page 193 Additional commands (Printer) Important notes on document processing Horizontal print position 0 With the horizontal leading edge on the left, the left edge of the document is iden- tical to print position 0 for all character spacings unless a left margin was set using the standard command ESC l (n) (see the next subsection “Position 0 after ESC l (n)”).
  • Page 194 Important notes on document processing Additional commands (Printer) With the horizontal leading edge on the right, the right character box limit of the 90th character (with character spacing of 10 characters/inch) lies on the right edge of the document. This means that print position 89 of the 90th character lies 1/10 inch to the left of the right edge of the document (method of counting: print position 0 for the 1st character, print position 1 for the 2nd character, etc.).

  • Page 195: Vertical Positioning

    Additional commands (Printer) Position 0 after ESC l (n) The horizontal print position 0 changes if a left margin was set by means of the standard command ESC l (n). In this case, the left edge (= horizontal print posi- tion 0) is displaced to the right by the value n.

  • Page 283: Loadable Firmware/Character Generators

    Loadable Firmware/Character Generators The firmware and character generators of the passbook and document printer are stored in a programmable memory with FLASH technology. The function for loading this memory is implemented by a resident program (bootstrap loader). The load function is activated either by control sequences in one of the printer emulations or by simultaneously pressing the key combination USER 2 and STOP when the printer is switched on.

  • Page 284: Activating The Load Function

    Activating the Load Function Activating the Load Function The activation of the load function is done via the printer emulation. The printer is switched to the load mode by entering a specific control sequence. This control sequence is identical for all emulations.
