The Model 24 scans for a minimum size print job of three (3)
characters. If more than 3 characters are received within the
designated input inactivity timeout interval, the unit will treat these
characters as a print job. If less than 3 characters are received, these
characters will be discarded.

BayTech provides utility software which allows you to conveniently
select between peripherals for IBM DOS and Microsoft Windows
applications. Port selection is as easy as activating hot keys or by
using a mouse. Please see
Section 4.2
for more information.
There are alternative methods to peripheral selection. One method is
to make the port select sequence the first characters of the text. These
characters will be trapped by the Model 24 and not sent to the printer.
This method will work only if the text of the print file is sent in an ASCII
format.
You may wish to write your own program for sending the port select
sequence to the Model 24 instead of inserting it into the document or
utilizing the supplied support software. A simple procedure when using
word processing programs is to create an ASCII file for each printer
which contains the Port Select Code, the port number, and the
terminating character. When you wish to select a particular device, you
simply print this file followed by the actual print file.
