#166408 - Intern? [edited] Responding to: ???'s previous message |
[edit]
Ah, ignore the first bit - just seen that Goodson is your Distributor for the printer. [/edit] Giang Ho said:
I have a chat with a software developer from Goodson Does this mean that you are an "intern" at Goodson? Who is "Goodson"? mode com1 9600,n,8,1
--> The printer will send RS232 connection detail and display on DOS No, this has nothing to do with the printer at all. This simply configures the baud rate (9600), parity (none), number of data bits (8), and number of stop bits (1) for the PC's COM1: port. It doesn't cause the PC to send anything, and has no effect whatsoever on anything connected to the port - including your printer. dir>com1 I think that should actually be dir>com1:(note the colon) --> send root directory detail to and print on the thermal printer It sends the output of the dir command to the COM1: port - it neither knows nor cares what may or may not be connected to that COM port! 3. He also told me to to print these characters "ABCDEFG" by:
type in: ABCDEFG then follow by ASCII command of LF & CR but I could not figure out exactly what actual command I should type in: If you didn't understand what he was telling you, you should have asked him to explain it! C://ABCDEFG 0x0A 0x012
??? Is that going to be a valid command that DOS will understand?? To have what you type in a command prompt copied to the com port, type: copy CON: COM1: To escape from this, type Ctrl+Z, then hit Enter. |
