Documented Extended Control commands

®
The iTherm 280 has a number of Extended Control commands designed to make
operation and maintenance of the printer easier for the host application. For further
details, refer to the ITherm® Extended Control discussion in Chapter 8.
[SOH] Begin multi-drop control
ASCII [SOH] <n>
Hexadecimal 01H <n>
Decimal <1> <n>
IPCL none
Where <n> is the printer address. Addresses of A, B, or C are configurable.
Description The printer must be addressed in multi-drop mode. [SOH] <n> is the
addressing command. If the printer is configured with an address of ‗A,' it
operates when addressed. When any other address is sent to the printer,
it enters print suppress mode. An address of ‗Z' is n universal address
that activates the printer.
