Gossen IPP 144 - 40 GE Printer User Manual


 
The enhanced version IPP 144 - 40 GE provides a second,
bi-directinal serial interface capable of outputting return
messages under program control in compliance with a protocol.
In addition, this model includes a text memory capable of
storing up to 15 texts which are called by specifying the
corresponding text number. Moreover, date and time may be
printed with texts and data.
The printer interfaces of the IPP 144-40 GE can be set in the
menu program as serial transfer or standard Windows printer
drivers. So it is possible to print data (e.g.user defined fonts
and symbols) directly with Windows.
It is not possible for the user to upgrade the basic version to
the enhanced version; as this is a different factory version.
Enhanced
Version
IPP 144-40 GE
The basic version IPP 144-40 G provides one serial interface
capable of receiving only. Return (handshake) messages to
the sender are sent via hardware line. Texts and measuring
value to be printed must be transmitted from the sender device
since the basic version does not have an internal text memory.
It is possible to print with the basic version bitmap image and
barcodes. The bitmap image files and the barcode files are
generated with printer control commands in a terminal emulation
program.These files are transmitted by interface I to the
printer. It is possible to download this file onto the font ROM
chip in the printer. For the printer control commands and
download commands see section 8.3. in this manual.
Note: The cyrillic character set is on the font ROM chip.
If user defined fonts or symbols are downloaded onto the font
ROM chip, the cyrillic character set will be overwritten, and
the cyrillic character set will no longer be available.
