Chapter 7 - Controlling the Printer Characters that cannot be produced by the keyboard of the host can be substituted by CHR$ functions, where the character is specified by its ASCII decimal value according to the selected character set. ASCII Decimal Values for Special Keys Key F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 Pause Setup Feed Enter C (Clear) Print Unshifted 1 2 3 4 5 30 29 28 13 8 31 Shifted 129 130 131 132 133 158 157 156 141 136 159 Non-existing key positions are mapped as NUL (CHR$(0)). Using the Keypad in Immediate Mode When a printer has been placed in Immediate Mode (by sending an IMMEDIATE ON statement), these keys on the printer keypad work as follows: • The Print key or button produces a FORMFEED operation. If the printhead is lifted, pressing Print produces a CLEANFEED operation, which runs the platen roller several times to facilitate cleaning. During batch printing, pressing Print interrupts or resumes printing. Note: In Immediate Mode, Print can also start a print job if the key has been enabled using a PRINT KEY ON statement. For more information, see "Enabling Manual Printing With PRINT KEY ON" on page 105. • Pause interrupts or resumes batch printing. • Feed works the same way as the Print key. • Pressing Shift + Feed at the same time produces a TESTFEED operation. • Setup places the printer in Setup Mode. • Pressing i displays information on the communication channels. The left and right arrow keys toggle between communcations channels when channel information is displayed. Fingerprint Developer's Guide 111
