Compuprint 4247-Z03 Programmer Manual - Manual (Page 158)

Description: This control marks the beginning of a string of text that the printer can suppress from the
printed output.
Parameter P1 is a one byte suppression identifier. Valid values are from 1 to X'FF'. An End Suppression
control, with the same suppression identifier, must follow the Begin Suppression control. An error results
when BSU-ESU text controls are not paired properly or have different suppression IDs.
Suppression of the text output occurs only when activated by a Load Copy Control with a matching
suppression ID.
For additional information about suppression, see Suppression ID in the “Load Copy Control (LCC)” on
page 110.
End Suppression (ESU)
2BD3 03 F4 (F5) P1
Description: This control marks the end of a string of text that the printer can suppress from the printed
output.
Parameter P1 is a one byte suppression identifier. Valid values are from 1 to X'FF'. A string of suppressed
text starts with a Begin Suppression control and ends with an End Suppression control having the same
suppression identifier.
Draw I-Axis Rule (DIR)
2BD3 04 or 07 E4 (E5) P1-P5
Description: This control specifies the dimensions of a horizontal rule (line) extending from the current
print position. The current position does not change as a result of this control. The rule is not drawn until
the current position advances vertically (as a result of other controls).
Parameters P1P2 specify the length of the rule in the inline direction in units. Valid values are from X'8000'
to X'7FFF'. Negative values are in twos-complement form.
Parameters P3, P4, and P5 are optional, as a group. That is, either all three parameters are omitted or all
three must be included together. Parameters P3P4 specify the width of the rule in the baseline direction in
units. Valid values are from X'8000' to X'7FFF'. Also valid is X'FFFF'' which selects the printer default of 5
pels wide.
Parameter P5 is ignored by the 4247 Printer.
Draw B-Axis Rule (DBR)
2BD3 04 or 07 E6 (E7) P1-P5
Description: This control specifies the dimensions of a vertical rule (line) extending from the current print
position. The current position does not change as a result of this control. The rule is not drawn until the
current position advances vertically (as a result of other controls).
Parameters P1P2 specify the length of the rule in the baseline direction in units. Valid values are from
X'8000' to X'7FFF'. Parameters P3, P4, and P5 are optional, as a group. That is, either all three
parameters are omitted or all three must be included together.
