2.4 THE BASIC PRINTER MODE (SLAVE PRINTER).

The basic printer mode is for general purpose applications. In

this mode the printer prints what is sent. This permits the
IDS152 to be used with a wide range of devices, including most
weigh-meters. The Basic Mode can be combined with the Print
Features for applications that require more than your average
basic printer. The print features are set with the thumbwheel
switch (see section 3.2) or they can be set by sending control
codes (see appendix III).

The

PRINT switch is used to output a data request signal. This

is used to activate data transmission from the 'host'.

The

AUX switch activates a paper release cycle.
