Black Box Switch PQ-8P Manual De Usuario

6. Advanced Features

4. Move the cursor to the point in

the text where the print feature
ends. Enter &% or the alternate
CPT start delimiter, followed by
the ending printer command
and then &% or the alternate
CPT end delimiter again, into
the document.

For example:

The command ESC &d0D begins

underlining and ESC &d@ ends
underlining on an HP LaserJet
printer. First convert the start
command to the hexadecimal 1B 26
64 30 44 and the ending command
to 1B 26 64 40. 

If the delimiter is the default &%

(hex 50 6C), then enter the
commands as follows:

This is an
&%1B26643044&%underlined&%1
B266440&% word.

to print on the printer as:

This is an underlined word.

Only characters from 00 to FF are

recognized (alphabetic characters
must be in upper case).  Errors in
the Command Pass-Thru sequence
will cause the PQ-8 to ignore the
command, and printing will resume
at the point where the error
occurred.

The Command Pass-Thru feature
allows access to all of the built-in
features of the printer, even if these
features aren’t normally available
through the host software.
Command Pass-Thru lets you place
printer-specific command sequences
into the data sent to the printer. The
PQ-8 recognizes these special
sequences and “passes the command
through” to the printer. The steps
below describe how to use
Command Pass-Thru.

1. Find the command for the print

feature in the printer’s user’s
guide.

2. Convert the printer command to

hexadecimal.

3. Place &% (or the alternate CPT

start delimiter), in the document
at the point where the feature is
to take effect. This signals the
start of the print feature.

Enter the beginning printer
command, then enter &% or the
alternate CPT end delimiter. A
space may be entered between
hexadecimal code pairs to make
the command easier to read, but
do not put spaces between the
delimiter and the hexadecimal
characters.
