PRODUCT MARKING AND BARCODE IDENTIFICATION

Streams:

Filename
„/dev/rs232:baud,handshake"
„/dev/ieee1284"
„/dev/rs422:baud,handshake"
„/dev/rs485:baud,address"
„/dev/usb"
„/dev/rawip"
„/dev/lpr"
„/dev/panel"
„/dev/keyboard"
„/dev/jscript"
„/card/filename.ext" I/O*,8/16
„/iffs/name.ext"
„mailto:address"
* no random writing within a file, only append or overwriting, according to the filename extension
the files are automatically sorted into the appropriate directories (i.e. /images, /labels, /fonts and
/misc) on the card
° not yet implemented
¹ note: on A3 setting the baudrate on RS-422 sets the RS-232 baudrate too and vice versa!

Modes:

„r", „w", „a"
„rb", „wb", „ab"
„wu", „au"

Notes:

- Some streams like „/dev/panel" are always Unicode-streams. Using 'b' or 'u' modifiers can have
strange effects!
- Writing to an interface (e.g. /dev/rs232) will fail if the printer cannot send the data. There's a time
out of 10 seconds.
- Opening an interface as file stops ESC interpretation on this device.
- abc has an additional command called FLUSH which enables you to clear the input puffer of
/dev-streams in read mode (e.g. FLUSH #1 when 1 ist /dev/rawip). FLUSH #0 clears standard input.

Writes an email to the specified address. An SMTP-Server
address and a return address has to be set in the setup!
The subject is the first line printed into the stream.
read, write and append
(file reading and writing automatically transforms Unicode to ASCII and
vice versa according to selected codepage, reading a Unicode or ASCII
file is automatically detected)
read, write and append without transforming
(file reading and writing uses only low-byte of e.g. string)
write and append using Unicode
