Hex Transparency - Axis HP MIO User Manual

Hex Transparency

AXIS HP MIO User's Manual
The transparency function allows you to send ASCII data to the
printer directly from the host application. The data may be of any
language supported by the printer, e.g. PCL, HP-GL, or PostScript.
This gives you access to all the HP printer features from within the
IBM environment.
When the percent and less-than characters (%<) are received, the
AXIS HP MIO will switch over to hex transparency mode. Following
data (hexadecimal byte values or quoted text) are passed directly to the
printer without any conversion. The hex transparency mode continues
until the greater-than and percent characters (>%) are received.
Example:
The example below shows how to embed 'start underline' (
&d0D) and 'stop underline' (
documents:
The word %<1B26643044>%underline%<1B266440>% is

You may use %<1B,"&d0D">%quoted text%<1B,"&d@">%
as well.
