Appendix G

The PTX_SETUP Commands

General Commands

The original PTX_SETUP commands were implemented on the disk-based
legacy laser printers; however, many commands are also supported for
thermal printers. This section describes the existing commands which work
across all platforms, and provides a general description of how commands
are formed.

Each emulation has modes in which the PTX_SETUP commands could get
missed. For this reason, it is highly recommended that all PTX_SETUP
commands be placed between print jobs, rather than attempting to imbed
them within jobs.

PTX_SETUP commands have the following format:

(SFCC)PTX_SETUP

CommandSub Command;Value

PTX_END

For example, if the SFCC assigned to PTX_SETUP is the default value of the
exclamation mark (!, hex 21), and you wanted to load configuration number 4
and capture all incoming data to a file named “BIN”, you would use the
following command:

!PTX_SETUP

CONFIG–LOAD;4 FILE_IO–CAPTURE;BIN

PTX_END

Table 32 lists all the command, sub-command, and parameter combinations
and gives a brief description of the command. This section documents the
existence of PTX_SETUP commands which work across all platforms. The
following sections document commands which are specific to thermal.

NOTE:

When a file system error occurs, a message will be displayed on the
front panel indicating the error, and the action needed to take to
correct the error.
