d) The ^Ax^D125 command controls the location of the euro character
The 48-466 and X24 code bases are not fully compatible, so the
emulation does have some limitations. The known limitations are briefly
mentioned below:
a) The 48-466 data stream should not use an Attribute Number of 2
b) The CS value used in conjunction with the AN set to a 2 to produce
c) Fields that were using an AN of 2 and CS for negative kerning may
Once these changes are made, the resulting data may be sent to a 48-
466 and 424M printer to produce the same printed image in most
cases.
6 Select GP I/O Hardware Mode: This command is used to select
from the various General Purpose I/O modes the printer supports.
0 = Enable Custom General Purpose I/O Hardware. This mode is a
custom solution developed for a specific customer and is not intended
to be used by other users.
1 = Enable General Purpose I/O Hardware. When this command is
enabled, the printer provides the ability to report the current status of 4
additional inputs accessed through the P17 connector on the PCB,
report the status of 4 additional outputs accessed through the P21
connector on the PCB, to change the status of the outputs, and to
configure the inputs to generate immediate errors.
GP INPUTS:
The P17 connector is used for the GP inputs. These inputs are active
high (24VDC) and may be independently controlled.
The ^D150 command is used to report the current status of the inputs.
When issued, the printer will send the host the current status of the 4

as provided in the model 48-466 printers. The euro character which
by default is mapped to location 0xE3 (227 decimal) can be moved
to another location specified by the x if x>0. If x=0 no remapping will
take place and the euro will stay at location 0xE3. Also if the printer
must be configured to use a code page other than the default (0000)
