Monarch 9820 Printer User Manual


 
Define options immediately after the field to which they apply.
Multiple options can be used with most fields. Options can be
used in any combination except as noted with each definition.
When using multiple options on the 9403 printer, remember
that options are processed in the order they are received.
Keep in mind that proportionally spaced fonts need wider
fields than monospaced fonts. For variable field data, use a
letter "W" to determine the maximum field size.
Do not place a new line (return) or any other non-printing
character in a character string. However, a carriage return or
line break after each
p
makes your formats easier to read.

Spaces are ignored, except within character strings.
Indenting options improves readability of your formats.

Use a tilde (~) followed by a 3-digit ASCII code in a quoted
string to send function codes or extended characters or send
the 8-bit ASCII code.
You can modify formats and fields with the optional entry method.
See "Optional Entry Method" in Chapter 6 for more information.
Using Online Configuration Packets
Use online configuration packets to change the printer settings.
You can send an individual packet or a packet that contains all
eight online configuration packets. You can supply all parameters
for each packet. Leave the parameters blank that you do not
need to change. For example,
{
I
,A,,,,1
p
} prints a slashed zero and uses the last sent online
System Setup parameters.
