CHAPTER 2. ANSI EMULATION

CONTROL CODE AND ESCAPE SEQUENCE ACTIVITY LEVELS

ANSI control codes and escape sequences are assigned activity levels depending on which print mode is currently active. The following charts provide Information on what to expect from the control codes and escape sequences in each printing mode.

-IGNORED No noticeable effect on printing will occur.

-VALID These sequences will not affect the printing mode in progress, but resumes.

–ACTIVE This sequence will take effect immediately.

–DATA These control codes are used as data.

Character Map Load data transfer. Character map definitions, which follow this sequence, are stored in non-volatile memory. The character map is selected with the GENICOM Select National Characters (GENSNC) command using the p2 parameter that is specified in the load sequence for this command. The load is terminated by a String Terminator (ST) sequence. The downloaded character map replaces the USA ISO character set in character map memory.

A single character map containing 128 substitutions may be specified. A character map may be designated for either the GL table (codes 20H-7EH) or the GR table (codes 80H-FFH). Any substitutions not specified within a character map load will be mapped one-to-one. For example, code 41H will print the character normally found at location 41H (upper case A). When a character map designated as a GR map is selected by the GENSNC command (see Character Set Selection on page 11), the GL map will automatically be mapped one-to-one. A standard GL (7-bit) character map, such as French A, may be specified as the base for a downloaded GR (8-bit) character map, but an 8-bit GR map, code page 866, for example, may NOT be used as the base for a GL character map.

All other values of p1 are reserved.

p2 GENSNC (CSI p1 x) select parameter. Values must be between

90 and 99 in order not to interfere with GENICOM standard character maps. If a downloaded character map select parameter is a value other than 90 through 99, the download character map command will be ignored.

p4 Reserved. This parameter is marked by inserting a semi-colon

p5 Reserved. This parameter is marked by inserting a semi-colon

(;) in the command sequence.

p6 A literal string indicating the GENSNC select parameter of an

existing character map (such as 437, 850, etc.) to be used as a base in which substitutions from this command sequence may be made. This string may be up to 10 characters in length and must be specified only if the downloaded character map is to use an existing map as a base. The string is terminated by a semi-colon (;). The base character map will always default to Code Page 437 if an ACT character map is specified and the downloaded character map is a GR table. If the downloaded map is a GL table, p6 must specify an existing GL table as the base or a one-to-one default base will be used.

p7 A literal string which will be used to identify the character

map in the Progam Mode Font – Country menu. This string may be up to 20 characters in length and is terminated by a semi-colon (;). Note that only the first 11 characters of this string will be used for display purposes.

p8-pn A trio of parameters used to specify the actual character map

substitution. A semi-colon must separate each parameter within the trio, and a semi-colon must terminate each trio. The semi-colon is not required for the last trio that immediately precedes the String Terminator (ESC \).

The elements of each trio are defined as follows:

1 A decimal number that identifies the destination

character. This is the character value received from the host. For example, an upper case "A" has a decimal value of 65. Values of 32 through 126 and 128 through 255 are valid for this element.

The first element processed in the first substitution trio will define whether the map will be for GL (7-bit) or GR (8-bit) substitution. If the first element is between 32 and 126 (inclusive), the map will be GL, and the first element of each trio must also be between 32 and 126. Likewise, if the first element of the first trio is between 128 and 255, the map is a GR map and all first elements must fall between 128 and 255. The character substitution map will be discarded if this rule is violated.

2 A decimal number that identifies the source character.

This is the location value of the desired character pattern in the printer font set. For example, an upper case "A" has a decimal value of 65. Values of 0 through the last

GEK-????? 5000 Series Programmer’s Manual

available character for the currently selected font are valid for this element.

3 Reserved. A semi-colon (;) is required to mark this element

position. A zero is permitted.
