TI Model 880 Printer Emulation 4-5
Tl 880 Answer Message Function
The TI 880 emulation provides, as a TI 880 feature, an answerback
message (ABM) that can be programmed with a message of up to 20
characters. If a message is programmed, it is transmitted when the
ASCII character ENQ is received. The ABM is stored in the printer’s
nonvolatile memory and is programmable with an escape sequence
when the ABM load setup parameter (ABM MSG LOAD) of the
TI 880 emulation is turned on.
Escape sequence: ESC [ Q text NUL
Hexadecimal: 1B 5B 51 text 00
where text can contain up to 20 ASCII characters, and the NUL
character is used as the string terminator.
TI 880 Response Format Selection
The TI 880 emulation provides a response format selection feature
(RESP FMT) allowing the user to select whether the response
formats for configuration and status inquiries are preceded by an
ASCII ESC character and if the string terminator is to be preceded
by a semicolon. The default selection is W/O ESC.
q When the RESP FMT selection is W/O ESC the format of the
responses to the configuration and status requests are not preceded
by the ASCII ESC character.
Response Examples:
Config: [880;14;27;36;41c
Status: [880;24;2Cn
q When the RESP FMT selection is W/ ESC the format of the
responses to the configuration and status requests are preceded
by the ASCII ESC character.
Response Examples:
Config: ESC[880;14;27;36;41c
Status: ESC[880;24;2Cn
