When you click Add button or Edit button in dialog box of <Figure 2>, dialog box of <Figure 3> is shown.
You can print Bar Code Printer by using write settings.
Digital Write
Digital write and analog write have the same setting parameters except output value(0 or 1).
Analog Write
Analog write setting parameters are as follows:
1) PORT Connected port number. (Not COM number)
2) STATION Don't care.
3) ADDRESS When Extra1 is read command : Memory address to save.
When Extra2 value is 1 : INI file number to read Printer command.
When Extra2 value is except 1 : Don't care.
4) Extra1 When Extra2 is 1 : Don't care.
Read command or Etc Printer command of WS, WB, WV, WI, WG and WN.
Etc Printer command : /e, /n, /r letters mean ESC, CR, LF control code respectively, and letter of /?? type are used when enter the control letter, etc.
(The type such as /00 = NULL letter, /1B = ESC control code, … )
5) Extra2 Select whether to read Printer command from file.
Bring Printer command from 1 and file. (From WorkDirectory\SCAN\COMMAND_%05d.ini file)
Etc : Don't care.
<Table 2> is Printer data writing method when read Printer command from file.
File Name |
Writing Method |
WorkDirectory\SCAN\COMMAND_%05d.ini, %05d = File number between 0 and 99999 |
1) Enter one Printer command at one line. 2) Control command code of start and end isn't entered. 3) You can enter multiple-line Printer command. 4) /e, /n, /r commands mean ESC, CR, LF control code respectively. 5) Command of /?? type is used when enter the control letter, etc. (/00 = NULL letter, /1B = ESC control code, … )
Input example) C PC001; 0200, 0300, 1, 1, C, 00, B; 01, 02 PV01; 0650, 0550, 0200, 0150, B, 33, B; 02 XB01; 0200, 0550, 3, 1, 02, 02, 06, 06, 02, 0, 0150; 01, 02 RC; S /r 001 XS; I, 0002, 0002C3000 |

Write example 1)
PORT : 0 STATION : 0 ADDRESS : 0000 EXTRA1 : RC000; ABC EXTRA2 : 0
The setting parameter shown above is example of Printer output by transferring Bitmap Font Data Command to Toshiba Bar Code Printer device connected with no.0 port. (But, when status of device Font, etc is normal)
Write example 2)
PORT : 0 STATION : 0 ADDRESS : 0000 EXTRA1 : WR EXTRA2 : 0
The setting parameter shown above is example of RESETTING Toshiba Bar Code Printer device connected with no.0 port.
Write example 3)
PORT : 0 STATION : 0 ADDRESS : 0000 EXTRA1 : EXTRA2 : 1
The setting parameter shown above is example of writing Printer output data which is entered at 'WorkDirectory\SCAN\COMMAND_00000.ini' file by reading from Toshiba Bar Code Printer device connected with no.0 port, to Printer. (But, when moderate Printer output data is written at ini file)
Write example 4)
PORT : 0 STATION : 0 ADDRESS : 0001 EXTRA1 : EXTRA2 : 1
The setting parameter shown above is example of writing Printer output data which is entered at 'WorkDirectory\SCAN\COMMAND_00001.ini' file by reading from Toshiba Bar Code Printer device connected with no.0 port, to Printer.

Block Write
Block Write uses PlcScanWriteBlock function of script, as follows.
Script name and type : @PlcScanWriteBlock(int port, int station, int address, string extra1, string extra2, object array_value, int array_size);
Script writing example
@PlcScanWriteBlock(0, 1, 1, "", "", "C", 1);
@PlcScanWriteBlock(0, 1, 1, "", "", "PC001; 0200, 0300, 1, 1, C, 00, B; 01, 02", 200);
@PlcScanWriteBlock(0, 1, 1, "", "", "PV01; 0650, 0550, 0200, 0150, B, 33, B; 02", 200);
@PlcScanWriteBlock(0, 1, 1, "", "", "XB01; 0200, 0550, 3, 1, 02, 02, 06, 06, 02, 0, 0150; 01, 02", 200);
@PlcScanWriteBlock(0, 1, 1, "", "", "RC; S \r 001", 200);
@PlcScanWriteBlock(0, 1, 1, "", "", "XS; I, 0002, 0002C3000", 200);
Importance) Block Write is supported at over 10.2.0 version.
