. Sending these codes allows to control globally both, information
and actions carried out at the beginning and/or at the end of each printout sent from
the balance to the printer.
This function will be most frequently used to send an information about the code
page of a printout sent by a balance, at the beginning, and to send a commamd
enabling the crop of a paper in EPSON printers (if the printer is equipped witht an
autocutter blade), at the end.
and parameters settings are available for all the printouts
sent from balance, e.g. calibration reports, density, statistics etc. and for the
header, footer and GLP printouts.
CAUTION:
It must be remembered that inserting paper crop command to
parameter (control code) will result in sending the code after each printout. If the
user wishes for one whole printout to consist of: HEADER, GLP PRINTOUT and
FOOTER and to be cropped underneath the FOOTER then the paper crop
command should be inserted only for FOOTER settings as a non-standard printout
with <%E> value (paper crop for EPSON printer). In such case
command must remain empty.
To ensure correct cooperation of the balance with the printer (correct printout with
diacritical signs of a given language) transmission speed, which is obligatory for a
given printer, must be chosen (see the printer settings). Additionally code page of a
sent printout must be accordant with a code page of a printer.
Accordance of a code page may be obtained in two ways:
• setting the right code page in the settings of a printer (see the printer user
manual) – it must be accordant with the printout code page of a balance
(1250 code page for POLISH, CZECH, HUNGARIAN; 1252 for
ENGLISH, GERMAN, SPANISH, FRENCH, ITALIAN; 1254 for
TURKISH),
• sending the control code from the balance, which automatically sets the
right code page of the printer (code page accordant with the one of a
balance) before the printout of data taken from the balance (this
possibility is available only for printers with such option – see a user
manual of the printer)
CAUTION: CODES MUST BE WRITTEN IN A HEXADECIMAL FORM!
Example balance settings for correct cooperation with TM-U220B EPSON matrix
printer connected to RS232 port (since in this printer there is only 852 code page,
there won’t be any polish signs on a printout):
Communication parameters of port to which the printer is connected:
• BAUDRATE - 9600 bit-s
• PARITY – none
Printer parameters for a PERIPHERALS group:
PORT – COM1 or COM2 (the one to which the printer is connected)
