PREFACE About this manual This Star LaserPrinter 4 Applications Manual gives you the information you need to program the Star Micronics LaserPrinter 4. Why would you read this book? Most people using a laser printer just run software packages with built-inprinter drivers, which look after everything theircomputers send their printers. Butmany ofus-[...]

What’s in this manual? ● In “Getting to Know Your Star LaserPrinter 4“ we provide a list of the features that make this a splendid printer, to help you choose which feahues you want to exploit. There’s a bit on how laser printers work, inside and out. The chapter then explains software in general terms, in- cluding how to write control an[...]

Conventions Incidentally, one of those Technical Supplement tables suggests a couple of typographic conventions we’ll use. Base ten (decimal) numbers will gener- ally be used here; if we have to use base sixteen numbers (hexadecimal) we’ll expressly say so. And second, the lowercase L is practically identical to thenumberone (1 ver- sus 1). Bec[...]

Getting to Know Your ‘” “ Star LaserPrinter 4 T& chapter introduces both the hardware and software aspects of the Star LaserPrinter 4’s personality, from fonts and print engine to ASCII and Escape sequences. 1.1 STAR LASERPRINTER 4 HARDWARE 1.1.1 Versatility Your Star Micronics Star LaserPrinter4 works with practically all commer- cial [...]

The Star LaserPrinter4 is ideal fordesktoppublishing. The pages it produces make perfect photocopy or instant-print masters. And all the main desktop publishing systems, including Aldus Corporation’s PageMaker and Xerox Ventura Pubisher, work splendidly with the Star LaserPrinter4. With “page makeup” programs like these you will be able— ma[...]

1.2.3 How your Iaserprinter communicates Your computer communicates with the Star LaserPrinter 4 through either apardef cable or one of two kinds of serial cable. The printer’s interjzce, the link or boundary it shares with your computer, defines whether the printer will accept characters and commands from your computer one byte or one bit at a t[...]

I 1.2.5 The Print engine It’s the print engine that-forms the actual characters and graphics. The engine directs its laser, a pinpoint stream of light pulses, through mirrors and lenses onto the surface of a positively-charged rotating drum. + Mirror Lens Laser beam ~%a~nirr~ mirror nductor laser diode Photosensitive drum As the laser scans, it ?[...]

1.2 STAR LASERPRINTER 4 SOFTWARE 1.2.1 Binary and hexadecimal arithmetic 1f you already know what hexadecimal numbers are, you can skip this section and go ahead to read about ASCII. The decimal number system with which we’re all familiar is a positional counting system. There’s the “ones” position, the “tens” position, the “hundreds?[...]

The important thing to realize is that there’s more than one way to show the same numeric value. Computer programmers, for example, occasionally use the hexadecimal system because it’s so compact. (Programmers often just say “hex”.) This binary number: 1010010111111101001101 1111 101101OO1O11O1OOOO1OO1 looks quite a bit tidier when it is wr[...]

ox 27 = o 1 x 26 = 64 0 x 25 = o 0 x 24 = o 1 X 23 = 8 0 x 2’ = o 1 x 21 = 2 0 x 2° = Q 74 Decimal zone digits 0100 1010 Binary 4 A Hexadecimal The ASCII table in the Technical Supplement shows all these equivalent ~presentations for the symbols your laser printer understands. The table organizes them in ascending order. In fact, ASCII is organi[...]

Control codes mostly handle communications between your computer and the printer at the lowest level, at cable level. For example, a couple of control codes make sure the printer buffer (your printer’s storage memory) doesn’t overflow. In this book we’ll indicate control codes enclosed by angle brackets to their abbreviations in the table: =&[...]

1.2.5 Printer drivers Most software packages ahvady include the printer commands they need. The programs that send commands to the printer so you don’t have to enter them yourself a~ called printer drivers. Many programs ask you to install or configure your printer, which usually means keying into a menu the particular setup information describin[...]

1.2.7A BASIC example Here’s an example you can type in right now, to clarify what we’re saying. It’s written in Microsoft BASIC for a computer that uses the MS-DOS operating system, so if you have a different computer or BASIC you may have to translate a bit. We’ll show commands the way they’re written for an Epson dot-matrix printer beca[...]

1 Most programming languages, and some versions of BASIC, let you treat the printer as a file to which you can send data. When you write a program with one of these languages you “open” the printer file, print into it, and then “close” the file when you’re done. This programming jargon sounds funny if you’re not used to it— but it wor[...]

Controlling Your Printer Youcancontrol your Star LaserPrinter4 in two ways, eitherthmughcontrol panel parameters or through software comrnana!s. In this chapter we will consider printer controls mostly from the perspective of the control panel. However, we’ll also meet four special commands, the Star LaserPrinter 4 superset. Throughout this manua[...]

[TEST/ >] button forthrec secondhand release itjust after STATUS SHEET is displayed when the laser printer is offline, it finishes printing the current page and then feeds in and prints a status sheet. Some buttons on the panel let you perform two functions. Holding one of those buttons down, rather than quickly pressing it, selects a different [...]

● the power-on settings in effect when you first turn on the printer, ● your initial settings for one particular session, ● and the current settings that the printer is using now. These are in priority order. The current settings always override the initial session settings, which in turn override the power-on settings, which in turn override[...]

I It’s actually pretty easy. Flipping through and setting parameters from the panel is described in detail in the Star L.userPrinter 4 Operations Manual. Basically, all you do is press the [ < ] or [ > ] buttons to scroll through the sequence of possible parameters and values, which is clearly shown on the panel display. You press [ v ] whe[...]

Serial interface: rate If you ask for the Serial interface you’ll have to tell your printer more about how the data will be coming in-in particular its rate and unit size and the meanings of any special bits. The Rate parameter specifies how fast data will be arriving, measured in baud (named after the French communications engineer Jean Baudot).[...]

Some pmgrammem call the XONand XOFFcontrol codes “kiss on and kiss off’ others call the same protocol DC1 and DC3 (for device control). Either way, these codes let your printer run the show, telling the computer when to start and stop sendingdata. Your printer asks to have data held back when its memory is nearly full or when it senses an ERROR[...]

● Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 11P ● Epson FX-850 Other laser printers may offer such emulations too, but often require instal- lation of a new circuit board for each emulation. Star Micmnics has built these two emulations into the Star LaserPrinter 4. You select which emulation you want either by selecting it from the print program menu on the Sta[...]

I 2.2.6 Hints: The hex dump . ● ● ● To make your Star LaserPrinter 4 ‘print in hexadecimal rather than the usual ASCII symbols, press the control panel buttons that put the printer offline and in PROGRAM mode. Move to the EMULATION parame- ter’s HEX DUMP setting and select ON. Some control or Escape codes can be problems on a few computer[...]

For the Feeder value of this PAPER FEED parameter, you first enter either multi-purpose tray, manual feed or cassette (option) to indicate where you want paper fed from. The multi-purpose tray handles various types and sizes of paper (htter, Legal, A4, B5, Executive, OHP sheets, Labels, Envelopes). Manual feed means you feed each sheet by hand from[...]

I ● If you frequently change paper weights, you will probably get skewing problems— lines that print at an angle because of misfeeding. For best results, when your Star LaserPrinter4 is first setup have the paper feeder “squared” for paper of at least 60 grams. Lighter paper, though cheaper, isn’t really the way to economize. ● Want to [...]

I 2.3.3 The LAYOUT parameter The layout or@mat or setup of a page refers to how text is positioned on the page. Layout includes page orientation, margins and the spacing of characters across and lines down the page. You can control these with the LAYOUT parameter. You probably won’t use the LAYOUT parameter on the front panel’s piograrn menu ve[...]

Margins, columns and lines You canchangemargin settings for all four edges of a page. The left and right side margins can have values fmm O to 132, defining the margin columns between which words and images can be printed. And the top and bottom margins can be set at anywhere from O to 112 lines. Text Length { Portrait , Top Margin , Bottom Margi[...]

line-feed commands. You can also move to tab settings both horizontally and vertically (handy for tables and blank forms, or making room for your diagrams). But those aren’t all. Depending on which printer emulation you are using, you can tell the Star LaserPrinter 4 to move the print position vertically or horizontally in increments of: 1/10, 1/[...]

Font attributes: a preview Orientation (portrait or landscape as described earlier) is usually thought of as one attribute of a font; it’s not really a page formatting issue. Besides orientation, the fonts with which you print have these attributes: Symbol set is sometimes called “character set”- which can be confusing, since some people say [...]

I include printer drivers, which send commands to the printer so you don’t have to type them yourself. Some of those programs ask you to key in set- up paramettm about your printer. Other programs let you put printer commands before or inside the document you want to print. But maybe the software you use doesn’t have printer drivers for any pri[...]

I When you start a new emulation you always start a new page. Note: always send Carriage Return and Form Feed (control codes <CR> and -@F>) just befo~ you give this Change Emulation command. These force the printer to print any partial page in its memory and start a new page with the new emulation. If you forget to issue these control code[...]

tation command you may want to follow it with Escape sequences to change the side and top margins and paper length settings. (Alternatively, you could put the printer offline and reset these fmm the control panel, as described under LAYOUT earlier.) 2.5.5 The Paper Size command The Paper Size superset command lets you change the paper size in which[...]

tie fonts you use determine what your pages will look like. In this chapter we’ll first clari~ the meanings of words people use when they talk about fonts. Next we’ll examine the three kinds of fonts (internal, cartridge and down- loaded) that you can use on your Star LaserPrinter 4. We’ll cover the particular sets of symbols you can choose f[...]

Narrow condensed faces used to be called “compnxsed”. They cram about five charactem in the space where three usually go--ideal for spreadsheets. An extended face, particularly on a dot-matrix printer, goes by several names: “expanded, ““enlarged” or’’double-width’ ’printing. No matter what it’s called, extended print is wider[...]

3.2 HOW THE STAR LASERPRINTER 4 STORES FONTS 3.2.1 Bit-mapped fonts Star Micronics has earned a reputation for attractive, well-designed fonts on its printers, and this laser printer continues the tradition. The Star LaserPrinter 4 uses bit-mapped fonts. Each characters made up of a pattern or “map” of dots, just like characters on a dot-matrix[...]

3.2.3 Cartridge and downloaded fonts Your Star LaserPrinter 4 can use two other kinds of fonts, along with those built into the printer. Curtridge fonts, like the internal ones, are permanently stored on ROM chips. The difference is that those ROMs are in removable cartridges. Your Star LaserPrinter 4 has a slot for one font cartridge. A cartridge [...]

3.2.4 Hints: Where to get fonts ● You canprint anydowrdoadable font that works onthe HP LaserJet IIP. Several other companies sell downloadable fonts which are compatible with your Star LaserPrinter4. The Bitstream Corporation in Boston is one of the more populm, Conographic is another. Xerox includes a set of fonts with its Ventura Publisher des[...]

3.3 SYMBOL SETS Let’s summarize briefly, to put the subject of symbol sets in context. The attributes of a font determine what that font will look like when it is printed. We covered all but orientation at the start of this chapter, and orientation in the last chapter. A font’s attributes include: orientation (portrait or landscape) symbol set [...]

You probably won’t change symbol sets very often, unless you need special symbols for your trade or regularly write in a language other than English. When you do need them, though, inone oranotheremulation mode your Star LaserPrinter 4 supports symbol sets for all these countries: U.S. (ASCII) United Kingdom France Germany Sweden Finland Italy De[...]

Besides these, all internal fonts default to portrait orientation, upright style (not italics) and medium boldness. The table below shows theirotherdefault attributes: Typeface Spacing Pitch Font height Courier monospaced 10 12 point LinePrinter monospaced 16.6 8.5 point Technically, you can use any of the StarLaserPrinter4’s resident fonts when [...]

I to get to its possible values, press [ > ] to scan through them, and finally press [ v ] to slap in the value you want. The procedures for selecting a font from a computer program is a bit mom complicated, and depends on which emulation mode you are using. These font selection methods are detailed in the next two chaptem. 3.4.2’ Hints: Deskt[...]

4.7 GRAPHICS The Star LaserPrinter4 offers two kinds of graphics. It prints ru.stergraphics (sometimes called “bit-mapped graphics”), which specify each dot in a graphics pattern. And it prints pattern gruphics, which prints lines and patterned blocks. Be aware, though, that adding graphic elements always slows up printing with laser printem. 4[...]

I The command to start graphics must be transmitted next. This command is: <ESC> *r n A where n can take a value of either O or 1. When n=O, the margin for printing graphics will be the left-most printable edge of the page (this is not necessarily the same as the left text margin). If n=l, the left margin for graphics is set to the current pr[...]

way other than the TIFF format will produce very strange results! Repeat sending lines of graphics data, prefixed by the above command, until the whole image has been transmitted. To signal the end of graphic data transmission, send the following com- mand: <ESC> * r B There are no parameters. The LaserPrinter 4 is now in text mode. 4.7.2 Rul[...]

When the printer finishes its print “map” of your rule or pattern, the print position automatically returns to the spot from which you started. That means, for instance, that you can make a lightly shaded rectangle and then start printing text right over it. This kind of box can be useful for setting off particular information from the main bod[...]

I pattern you want. You always send the Specify Pattern command befo~ the Print Pattern command, even if you want a solid black rule. To indicate the particular pattern you want, send the following command. The general meaning of the n value you enter actually depends on the command you put after this: <ESC> *C n G If you want a solid black r[...]

If you want a linear pattern, for n you enter here a pattern number between 1 ~d 6 inclusive, identifying one of the linear patterns below. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 You always send the following Print Pattern command after Pattern command. This Print Pattern command identifies whether the area you have defined is to be filled with a rule, dotted gray-scal[...]

4.Z5 Examples: Pattern graphics To specify a block five inches wide you could use a horizontal dimension of 1500 dots (5 inches times 300 dots). That command would look like this: <ESC> *C 1500A To print that area with a 25 percent gray-scale pattern, the commands you send would be: <ESC> *C 25G <ESC> *C 2P But to print an area fi[...]

For example say you want to delete a macro numbered 80. You would first select that macro with the command cESC> &f 80Y. Then you would delete it with the Macro Control command cESC> &f 8X as described below. 4.8.2 Macro Control The Macro Control command performs several jobs for you, such as defining, mnning and deleting macros. To m[...]

macro. As with the “call macro” option, this one saves current parameters and print position, and restores them when the macro is finished. An automatic macro will terminate if you change orientation or page length. 5 Turn off automatic macro. Starting with the current page, this option terminates the last specified automatic macro. 6 Delete al[...]

Lines 500 through 700 select the 180-dot deep and 7200-dot wide pattern and print it. Line 800 does the form feed that forces the actual printing. Line 900 ends the downloading process. At the two line we select our macro and actually run it. 92[...]

Commands The small-carriage FX-850 is one of Epson’s more recent dot-matrix printers. Because of the popularity of the IBM Personal Computer, which was marketed with a modified Epson printer, thousands of software pro- grams already work with Epson printer commands. If you have a program that doesn’t work with laser printer commands, you’ll a[...]

But some commands include two n variables, which am shown as nl and n2. These normally ~pmsent bytes to be added together to produce one sum, in which nl represents single units and n2 represents 256-unit groups. Finally, a few commands can have many n variables (such as tab stops), which am listed the same way. And one or two include a second kind[...]

I 5.3 FORMATTING PAGES 5.3.1 Page /ength You can define page length in either inches or lines-a matter of personal preference. When you first start FX-850 emulation your printer sets the page length to 11 inches and 66 lines. The deftition of a “line” depends on the lines-per-inch spacing. If you change line spacing after you set the page lengt[...]

For example, say you have set the page length to 84 lines (legal size paper at 6 lines per inch), with the top-of-page 8 lines down. You then send: <ESC> N16 This will give you 81ines oftopmargin(impliedby yourtop-of-page setting) and 8 lines of bottom margin. The printer knows you want 84-16=68 lines Qf text, so it prints those, skips 8 line[...]

5.3.3 Side margins To set the left margin to a particular column you send this command: <ESC> tn in which n is the column number for the left margin. (Note that the character t is a lowercase L.) CohunrI width is determined by the current pitch (for example 1/12 inch for 12-pitch), or is set at 1/10 inch for proportional spaced text. Once mar[...]

DESIRED LINE SPACING COMMAND EXPLANATION 1/8 inch <ESC> O (zero) 7f72 inch <ESC> 1 (one) 1/6 inch <ESC> 2 (the default) increments of 1/216 inch <ESC> 3 n (in which n is the number of inc~ments, maximum 255) increments of 1/72 inch <ESC> A n (in which n is the number of increments, maximum 85) 5.4 MOVING THE PRINT POSI[...]

I 5.4.3 Carriage return The printer moves the print position back to the left margin when you send a carnage return control code. The print position will not move down to the next line (unless on the control panel ’smenu you have set the Auto Line Feed parameter ON): <m 5.4.5 Line feed commands The line spacing commands define what a “line?[...]

5.4.7 Left-to-right printing The FX-850 normally prints bidirectionally, with the print position moving alternately left-to-right and right-to-left. Cutting down printhead motion does speed up printing for those earlier styles of printer— though it hardly compam with laser printing. we problem with bidirectional printing is that the printhead can[...]

Tocomplete the command, forn2 youenterthe number of full groups of256 inc~ments you want to move. And for nl you enter the number of increments left over. Confused? Hem’s an example. This command: <ESC> $141 moves 14+ (256 x 1)=270 increments from the left margin. That works out to 270/60 inches, which is four and a half inches. 5.4.9 Movin[...]

is a tab stop every eight columns. Column width depends on the horizontal spacing being used when you give this command. If you change pitch later, that won’t affect tabs. To clear the old and set new tab stops, send this Set Horizontal Tabs command: d3SC> D d n2 ... ru%l <NUL> This command needs a bit of explanation. The nl and n2 and s[...]

To remove all venical tab stops, send this command: <ESC> B dW.JL> 5.4.12 Veflical tabs in channels This next pair of commands, which lets you store and use several different sets of vertical tabs, is rarely used. They’re mostly for putting data into prepririted forms, or for unusual reports that need different tab settings on different [...]

I 5.5.2 Orientation The FX-850 emulation has no command to change orientation, so use the Select Orientation superset command if you need to pnntin landscape mode. If the printer doesn’t have enough memory in which to rotate the font, it displays that message on the panel and uses instead the closest font it has in the orientation you’ve chosen[...]

I 5.5.5 Most significant bit Very few computem still send just seven bits to their printers, the way the Apple II+ and TRS-80 did. But if you find yourself in this situation all is not lost. You can still gain access to the symbols in the upper half of the FX- 850 symbol set (either italics or character graphics) with the following three commands. [...]

5.5.7 Character spacing FX-850 emulation lets you control the amount of space inserted after charactm, sometimes called the oflset. You might want, for example, to justify a line of print yourself. With the Character Spacing command you can add to the distance each character advances, in increments of l/120th inch. The command does not affect the s[...]

To shift into condensed print, send either of these commands: <S1> or <ESC> <S1> Condensed print will stay on until you select a different print mode or send the following Cancel Condensed print control code, which returns printing to the 10-pitch default: <DC2> 5.5.10 Extended print Extended print is wider than it is high; [...]

5.5.12 Style FX-850 emulation lets you use italics charactem without defining italics as a separate font, since it can store italics in the upper half of its symbol set. To select italic characters, send this command: <ESC> 4 And to return to upright characters, send this command: <ESC> 5 Note: in neither of these commands do you send t[...]

5.5.14 Typeface The Star LaserPrinter 4 uses Courier font as its default FX-850 font. You use the Select Emulation superset command to switch into another emulation to select a cartridge or downloaded font, but you won’t be able to bring that font back into FX-850 mode. That’s because FX-850 emulation always starts with Courier as its default f[...]

I An example: Proportional bold extended looks good as a title. To get it you add up then values for those three (2 + 8 + 32 = 42), and send the command: <ESC> ! 42 5.5.17 Subscripts and superscripts Subscript mode prints characters at half of the normal heighti in the lower partoftieline space. Superscript mode prints characters at half of t[...]

I 5.6 GRAPHICS If you are using a commercial graphics program, such as Lotus 1-2-3, you won’t need to use the commands in this section. Usually you’ll just draw your image on your screen and then send it to the printer. Should you want to send your own graphics commands in FX-850 emulation mode, though, it’s best to start off knowing a little[...]

Each FX-850 emulation graphics command you send does three things: it turns on the graphics mode, specifies horizontal density, and says how many columns wide the coming graphics data will be. Graphics commands all print at the same vertical density or “resolution”— 72 dots per vertical inch. The commands all look the same; where they differ [...]

COMMAND NAME single density double density high-speed double density quadruple density screen graphics I plotter graphics I (single density) screen graphics II plotter graphics II (double density) MODE # O MODE # 1 MODE # 2 MODE # 3 MODE # 4 MODE # 5 MODE # 6 MODE # 7 DENSITY (Iinedinch) 60 120 120 240 80 72 90 144 ESCAPE GRAPHICS SEQUENCE MODE (m)[...]

column of the table above. If you don’t use a valid mode number, the printer will ignore the command. So this ’’all-purpose” graphics command means you can do our first example two different ways: <ESC> K 1500 and <ESC> * O 1500 5.6.4 Changing a command’s density You can actually switch the density that a graphics command norm[...]
