Section 6: Interface Specifications
PRINT STOP (DLE)
If a DLE (10 hexadecimal) is received by the printer, the print process is stopped and an ACK (06
hexadecimal) is returned if there are no errors and a NAK (16 hexadecimal) if a printer error exists.
PRINT START (DC1)
If the printer has been stopped by receipt of a DLE (10 hexadecimal) command, it can be restarted by
sending a DC1 (hexadecimal 11) command. Upon receipt of this command an ACK (06 hexadecimal) is
returned if there are no errors and a NAK (16 hexadecimal) if a printer error exists.
Note: To provide compatibility with older PANDUIT
®
printers, the RS232C interface can be configured to use an
earlier Bi-Com 3 ENQ/ACK/NAK protocol selected via DSW2-8 and DSW1-7/8 (on the RS232 Interface
module).The earlier protocol did not have provisions for the Job Name and did not respond to the DLE or
DCI commands. Also, there are additional Response Codes in the Status Byte Definition. It is
recommended that you use the current protocol rather than the earlier version unless it is necessary for
compatibility with existing software.
