Syntax {I,E,"ANSI_cd","string1","string2" p }
E1. E Control Characters Packet
E2. “ANSI_cd” ~123 Start of header { (left bracket)
~044 Parameter , (comma)
separator
~034 Quoted strings “ (quotes)
~124 Field separator p (pipe sign)
~125 End of header } (right bracket)
~126 Data escape ~~ (double tilde)
character (optional)
def. ch. Immediate command character (optional).
Up to any 3 characters in the 0 to 255 decimal
range. The character must be defined before this
command can be used. The caret (~094) is
normally used.
Note: “ANSI_cd” includes seven separate parameters. The first five
parameters are required. The other parameters are optional.
E3. “string 1" Terminator for status requests and ENQ requests. Up to any 3 characters
in the 0-255 decimal range. The default is “013". Sending ”" disables this
sequence.
E4. “string 2" Terminator for job requests and data uploads. Up to any 3 characters in
the 0-255 decimal range. The default is none. Sending “” disables this
sequence.
After you change these parameters, all packets, including any future
configuration packets, must use the new control characters. We
recommend using the tilde and ASCII character code sequence when
sending this packet multiple times. Also, set the packet delimiters to
characters within the 21 hex to 7E hex range.
You must send the control characters packet to enable the immediate
commands. An immediate command executes immediately, even if it is
embedded within quotation marks, and all data following the command in
the string is ignored.
Example {I,E,"~123~063~034~124~125~126~094" p }
Changes the parameter separator character from , to ?. The other control
characters remain unchanged. It also enables the immediate commands by
defining the ^ symbol as the command identifier.
