INTRODUCTION This manual describes the software interfaces supported by the FormsPro 4000se, FormsMaster 8000se and PrintMaster 850 series printers. It is written for a programmer who will be developing software for the printer, and contains information not normally needed by a printer operator/user. Basic information on printer operation (setting the printer up, loading paper, replacing ribbons, etc.) can be found in either of the FormsPro4000se, FormsMaster 8000se or PrintMaster 850 Se

Introduction Printer Model Descriptions and Key Features The Printek FormsPro 4000se, FormsMaster 8000se and PrintMaster 850 series printers are high speed, heavy duty serial dot matrix printers designed especially for printing upon hard to print forms. Such forms are often not printed adequately by other printers. The printer is also designed to be factory floor rugged while still quiet enough for the office. All models provide straight paper paths for jam free paper motion and a zero

Introduction Changing Forms/Tractor Paths As mentioned above, Printek FormsPro 4000se, FormsMaster 8000se and PrintMaster 850 series printers have ten complete sets of forms parameters. These different parameters, or forms, may be selected either from the front panel or with escape sequences. In the FormsPro 4503se and FormsMaster 8003se series printers, selecting a different form may also select a different tractor path. The tractor path is one of the parameters which may be set for

ANSI X3.64 EMULATION Introduction This section describes the control codes and escape sequences comprising ANSI X3.64 emulation. This emulation may be selected by setting “Emulation” to “ANSI X3.64” in the appropriate interface setup menu, or via software with the ESC ESC 1 sequence. While this emulation is selected, control codes and escape sequences from other emulations are not available. Control codes and escape sequences are used to control printer operation. An ASCII control cod

ANSI X3.64 Emulation This should clarify any ambiguity. The examples may also be helpful when analyzing a hex dump (see Hex Dump chapter) printed by the printer. Some escape sequences refer to the active column or active line. The active column is the column where the next character will be printed. Printing a character or a space will increment the active column. The active line is the line where the next character will be printed. A line feed will increment the active line. Column a

ANSI X3.64 Emulation Control Codes and Escape Sequences Grouped by Function Communications End of Text ETX If “ETX/ACK” is set to “On” in the serial interface setup menu, then receipt of an ETX causes the printer to transmit an ACK to the host computer. Since the ETX may be a legal value within an escape sequence, it is the user's responsibility to ensure that an ETX used for data handshake is not sent within an escape sequence. The user must also ensure that the maximum block size or

ANSI X3.64 Emulation Character Size and Line Spacing Set Character and Line Spacing ESC [ n1 ; n2 SP G Sets the character and line spacing in decipoints (1/720 of an inch). The first parameter, n1, sets the line spacing. The second parameter, n2, sets the character spacing. Typical values for n1 and supported values for n2 are shown below. Other values for n2 will be ignored. To change only the horizontal or only the vertical spacing, omit the other value from the sequence or set it t

ANSI X3.64 Emulation Character Attributes Select Graphic Rendition ESC [ n m Selects the graphic rendition n from the following table. n Rendition 0 Normal 1 Emphasized 3 Italic 4 Underline For italic mode to work correctly, an Epson FX font must be selected (check the “Font” value in the forms setup menu). The other available fonts do not include italic characters. Example: The following escape sequence will select emphasized mode. Escape Sequence: ESC [ 1 m Hexadecima

ANSI X3.64 Emulation Absolute Horizontal Tab ESC [ n ` Sets the current print position to column n. The actual position will depend on the current character spacing. If n is less than the left margin, the active column will be set to the left margin. If n is greater than the right margin, then a line feed will be performed and the active column will be set to the left margin. Example: The following escape sequence will set the active column to column 65. Escape Sequence: ESC [ 6 5 ` H

ANSI X3.64 Emulation Partial Line Down PLD (or) ESC K Performs a half line feed. Causes the current line to be printed, and then advances the paper one half line at the current line spacing. If “Auto CR” is set to “On” in the interface setup menu, a carriage return will also be performed.

ANSI X3.64 Emulation Horizontal Tabs Horizontal tab stops are associated with columns, not absolute physical positions. Changing character spacing will change the physical position of the tab stops. Default tab stops are set at every eighth column, i.e. column 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, etc. If different tab stops are to be set, the default tab stops should first be cleared. Horizontal Tab HT Advances to the next horizontal tab stop. If no tab stop exists between the active column and the rig

Changing line spacing will change the physical position of the tab stops. Vertical Tab VT Causes the current line to be printed, and then advances the paper to the next vertical tab stop. If no vertical tab stops are set, then a line feed is done instead. If “Auto CR” is set to “On” in the interface setup menu, a carriag
