Use a tilde (~) followed by a 3-digit ASCII code in a
quoted string to send function codes or extended

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 seven 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.
Make a copy of the online configuration worksheet in Appendix
D, "Format Design Tools," and save the original. Packets A-F
and M are listed on the worksheet.
When you turn off the printer, all the information in the online
configuration packets is saved and used when the printer is
turned back on. After you change printer configurations, you
must resend the format, batch, or graphic to the printer before
the changes take effect.
Configura tion Packet Header
Always include an I
, immediately after the left bracket { and
before the packet identifier (A, B, C, etc.). The I
parameter
identifies the data stream as an online configuration packet.
n
Include the
I
parameter with each packet if you are sending
them individually. Include it only at the beginning of a data
stream if you are sending multiple packets.
