Epson C82315 - Manual (Page 16)

1. Connect the twin-axial connectors of the twin-axial V connector to your host
computer system cable.
2. Insert the twin-axial V serial cable into the 9 pin twin-axial serial connector on
the interface.
3. Tighten the thumbscrews on both sides of the twin-axial serial cable connector
to secure it to the interface.
MAKING ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
In addition to setting the switches and jumpers described in Setting Up, you can
make interface or printer settings with the C82315* interface in four more ways:
command-pass-thru, interface setup commands, display station setup mode, and
memory setup mode.
COMMAND-PASS-THRU
This feature allows you to insert commands within your print files that are sent
directly to the printer, without being processed first by the interface. You can then
take advantage of the advanced features of Epson printers (such as color printing
and super/subscripts) that are not supported in IBM printers.
Follow the steps below to send command-pass-thru commands.
1. Convert the Epson printer commands you wish to send into two-digit
hexadecimal codes. See your Epson printer’s user’s guide for a list of all
commands; the hexadecimal values of each command are shown there.
2. Inside the document you are sending to the printer, insert the following
characters:
&%
When the interface receives these two characters, it knows that the characters
following are commands in hexadecimal format. (These are the default characters:
you can define different characters with interface setup command 06 described
in Interface Setup Commands.)
3. Immediately following the &% characters, insert your commands in
hexadecimal format; the interface recognizes characters from 00 to FF only
(alphabet characters must be upper case).
