Hex Transparency

The Transparency function allows you to send ASCII data to the
printer directly from the host application. The data may be Postscript,
PCL, HP-GL or any other language supported by the printer. This
gives you access to all the features of the connected printer from within
the IBM environment.
When the percent and less-than characters (%<) are received, the
AXIS 570/670 MIO will switch to hex transparency mode. The
following data (given as hexadecimal byte values or quoted text) is
passed directly to the printer without any conversion. The hex
transparency mode continues until the greater-than and percent
characters (>%) are received.
Example:
The following example shows how to embed HP-PCL 'start
underline' (
<ESC>&d0D
commands in your documents:
The word %<1B26643044>%underline%<1B266440>% is
underlined.
You may use %<1B,"&d0D">%quoted text%<1B,"&d0@">% as
well.
Resulting printout:
The word underline is underlined
You may use quoted text as well.
The bar code function gives you easy access to a range of standard bar
code types resident in the AXIS 570/670 MIO.
Before the bar codes can be printed, a bar code format has to be
defined. This format sets the type and size of the bar code to be
printed. Up to 16 such formats can be predefined. The definitions are
made by setting up the BAR parameter.
The BAR parameter takes several arguments, separated by commas, as
shown below:
BAR <number>=<type>,<width>,<height>,<text mode>,
<check mode>;
