Compuprint 4247-Z03 Programmer Manual - Manual (Page 159)

Parameters P3P4 specify the width 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. Also valid is X'FFFF'. This selects the printer
default of 5 pels wide.
Parameter P5 is ignored by the 4247 Printer.
Repeat String (RPS)
2BD3 04-FF EE (EF) P1-Pn
Description: This control contains a string of coded graphic characters that repeats on the current line.
Parameters P1P2 specify the repeat length. This is the total length of the generated string.
Parameters P3 through Pn are the repeat data. The data specified in bytes P3 through Pn repeats until
the output equals the repeat length specified in parameters P1P2. The data field can be a maximum of
253 bytes. The printer does not check the data for the control sequence introducer (X'2B'). If the repeat
length is zero, this control is a no-op. If the count equals 04, but the repeat length is greater than zero, an
error occurs.
Transparent Data (TRN)
2BD3 02-FF DA (DB) P1-Pn
Description: This control marks the beginning of a string of coded characters, which the printer does not
check for an embedded X'2B' escape sequence. The inline position increments for each position in the
string.
Parameters P1 through Pn are the graphic characters. The data field can be a maximum of 253 bytes.
No Operation (NOP)
2BD3 02-FF F8 (F9) P1-Pn
Description: This control specifies a string of bytes that the printer ignores. The printer ignores all
parameter data. The data field can be a maximum of 253 bytes.
Set Variable Space Increment (SVI)
2BD3 04 C4 (C5) P1P2
Description: The Variable Space Increment is a two byte positive value that defines the width of the
variable space character in units. Parameters P1P2 are the width value. Valid values are 0 to X'7FFF'.
X'FFFF' equals the printer default. The variable space character is X'40' for EBCDIC code pages and X'20'
for ASCII code pages.
Set Text Color (STC)
2BD3 04 or 05 74 (75) P1-P3
Description: This control specifies the color attributes for text.
Parameters P1P2 are the color attributes, as shown:
