||
What is ZAPCODE?
|
||
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE, simply put, is a printer control utility. With it, you
|
||
|
||
can send control codes to your printer to activate or deactivate
|
||
|
||
any of its options and features. Pop-up ZAPCODE at any time to,
|
||
|
||
for example, reset your printer, turn on condensed print, or
|
||
|
||
advance the page. ZAPCODE can also be used to automatically
|
||
|
||
enter printer codes into your word processor, spreadsheet, or
|
||
|
||
any other program. This is great for word processors that don't
|
||
|
||
support all of your printer's features but allow you to embed
|
||
|
||
printer control codes inside your documents. Simply pop-up
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE, select the desired printer option(s), and then let
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE enter the printer codes for you, just as if you had
|
||
|
||
typed them at the keyboard. ZAPCODE can even be used to print
|
||
|
||
envelopes, as a dialing directory, and even as a crude keyboard
|
||
|
||
macro program. ZAPCODE is ideal for all types of printers
|
||
|
||
including dot-matrix, laser, and even plotters. Additional
|
||
|
||
features include:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
o Stand-alone running for those times when memory residency
|
||
|
||
might not be disirable.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
o Support for any parallel printer attached to LPT1 to LPT3,
|
||
|
||
and any serial printer attached to COM1 to COM4.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
o Completely customizable printer drivers. You can easily
|
||
|
||
modify the included printer drivers to suit any desired
|
||
|
||
configuration, or even create your own.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
o Memory resident activation over most applications, including
|
||
|
||
those graphics-based.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
o Customizable window colors and activation hotkey.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
o Capability of multiple installations for those systems which
|
||
|
||
require support for more than one printer.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
o Uninstallation of memory resident copies for those times when
|
||
|
||
the extra RAM is needeed.

ZAPCODE Files
|
||
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE consists of the following files:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE.COM - ZAPCODE program
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE.DOC - ZAPCODE program documentation
|
||
|
||
INVOICE.DOC - Invoice for permanent license
|
||
|
||
ASP.DOC - Association of Shareware Professionals Info.
|
||
|
||
EPSFX.PMF - Printer driver: Epson FX Series
|
||
|
||
HPLJ.PMF - Printer driver: Hewlett Packard LaserJet
|
||
|
||
IBMCOLOR.PMF - Printer driver: IBM Color Printer
|
||
|
||
IBMPRO.PMF - Printer driver: IBM Proprinter
|
||
|
||
TSHP341.PMF - Printer driver: Toshiba P321SL/P341SL
|
||
|
||
TSHP351C.PMF - Printer driver: Toshiba P351C Color Printer
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
All printer drivers end in the extension "PMF" (Printer Make
|
||
|
||
File). Printer drivers have been included for some of the more
|
||
|
||
popular printers. If your printer is not yet supported, you can
|
||
|
||
easily build your own driver or customize one of the given. This
|
||
|
||
will be covered shortly in the section "Using The PMF Editor".
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
System Requirements
|
||
|
||
-------------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
To use ZAPCODE you need:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
o IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, or compatible computer
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
o A parallel or serial printer
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
o PC-DOS or MS-DOS version 2.0 or later
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
You'll also need at least 64K available memory to use ZAPCODE in
|
||
|
||
stand-alone mode. 128K is required to use the PMF Editor. When
|
||
|
||
installed in memory, ZAPCODE uses approximately 17K. However,
|
||
|
||
depending on the size of the printer driver, an additional 10K
|
||
|
||
is usually needed.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
| Purchasing ZAPCODE |
|
||
|
||
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE is distributed under the Shareware marketing system. The
|
||
|
||
Shareware concept allows you, the user, to use a program on a
|
||
|
||
trial basis to determine if it meets your needs. If you find the
|
||
|
||
program useful and wish to continue using it, you are required
|
||
|
||
to pay a license or registration fee to the author.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you recieved ZAPCODE through a distribution service and paid
|
||
|
||
a small fee (usually $3 to $5), this does not constitute payment
|
||
|
||
for ZAPCODE. You have simply paid for the distribution service.
|
||
|
||
The $3.00 or $5.00 or whatever pays for the diskette,
|
||
|
||
duplications and handling and does NOT constitute payment for
|
||
|
||
the programs contained on the diskette.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE license and registration costs $19.95. The file
|
||
|
||
"INVOICE.DOC" contains an invoice which you may print and use
|
||
|
||
for this purpose. Registering ZAPCODE gets you:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. The latest version of ZAPCODE without the Shareware notice.
|
||
|
||
2. A professionally printed/bound 33 page manual.
|
||
|
||
3. All of the latest printer drivers. We're always creating
|
||
|
||
new drivers for more printers. If yours isn't currently
|
||
|
||
supported, we'll create it for you FREE. Just mention it to
|
||
|
||
us on the invoice.
|
||
|
||
4. Six months support plus we'll notify you of any program
|
||
|
||
updates and new products.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The Shareware system is dependant upon honest people. If you use
|
||
|
||
a Shareware program and have not registered with the author
|
||
|
||
after the evaluation period, you are helping to destroy the
|
||
|
||
viability of the Shareware concept. If you appreciate the
|
||
|
||
ability to try software, before you buy it, then we encourage
|
||
|
||
you to register EVERY Shareware program you use. Registration of
|
||
|
||
Shareware products ensures the existance of quality, low-cost
|
||
|
||
software.

directory containing ZAPCODE and type:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE <Enter>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A window will be displayed containing a list of all printer
|
||
|
||
drivers in the current directory. Use the following keys:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
UpArrow - Move selection bar up one file
|
||
|
||
DnArrow - Move selection bar down one file
|
||
|
||
PgUp - Move selection bar up one page
|
||
|
||
PgDn - Move selection bar down one page
|
||
|
||
Home - Move selection bar to first file
|
||
|
||
End - Move selection bar to last file
|
||
|
||
Enter - Use the selected PMF in stand-alone mode
|
||
|
||
I - Install the selected PMF in memory
|
||
|
||
U - Uninstall last PMF installed in memory
|
||
|
||
E - Edit the selected PMF
|
||
|
||
A - Add/create a new PMF
|
||
|
||
Esc - Exit
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Use the UpArrow, DnArrow, PgUp, PgDn, Home, and End keys to
|
||
|
||
select a PMF.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Press the Enter key to use the selected PMF in stand-alone mode.
|
||
|
||
Consequently, ZAPCODE will not be installed in memory.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Press the "I" key to install ZAPCODE and the selected PMF in
|
||
|
||
memory. To confirm memory resident installation, a window is
|
||
|
||
displayed containing printer setup, program activation, and
|
||
|
||
memory information. The default hotkey for ZAPCODE is Ctrl-Alt-Z.
|
||
|
||
That means, to activate ZAPCODE, hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys
|
||
|
||
and press "Z".
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
You may install as many copies of ZAPCODE as available memory
|
||
|
||
will allow. If you have installed more than one copy and each
|
||
|
||
shares the same hotkey, press the hotkey once to activate the
|
||
|
||
copy installed last. Press it again to activate the copy
|
||
|
||
installed prior to that, and so on.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Press the "U" key to uninstall ZAPCODE from memory. If you have
|
||
|
||
installed more than one copy, the last copy installed will be
|
||
|
||
uninstalled. Uninstalling again will cause the copy installed
|
||
|
||
prior to that one to be uninstalled. If you have loaded other
|
||
|
||
memory resident utilities after ZAPCODE, it is possible that
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE will not be able to uninstall itself. When this happens,
|
||
|
||
the message "Cannot uninstall" is displayed.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Press the "E" key to edit the selected PMF. The "PMF Editor"
|
||
|
||
allows you to easily create and edit printer drivers. See "Using
|
||
|
||
The PMF Editor" for instructions.

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Press the "A" key to create a new PMF. A window will be
|
||
|
||
displayed prompting for the PMF filename to create. Once you
|
||
|
||
enter a filename, the "PMF Editor" is invoked and you can begin
|
||
|
||
building your new printer driver.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Command Line Switches
|
||
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
All of the above functions can be performed by use of command
|
||
|
||
line switches. The complete syntax for ZAPCODE is:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE [filename] [/I] [/U] [/E]
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
"filename" is the name of the printer make file. It is not
|
||
|
||
necessary to type the ".PMF" extension.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
/I installs ZAPCODE and the specified PMF in memory.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
/U uninstalls the last installed copy of ZAPCODE.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
/E invokes the PMF editor. You must also specify the name of the
|
||
|
||
PMF you wish to edit. If the PMF does not exist, it will be
|
||
|
||
created.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you wish to have a PMF loaded automatically each time you
|
||
|
||
boot up, you may include ZAPCODE as an entry in your
|
||
|
||
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If other memory resident utilities are loaded
|
||
|
||
in your AUTOEXEC.BAT and conflictions occur when loading
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE, try different variations in the order each is loaded.

+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
||
| Using ZAPCODE |
|
||
|
||
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
When ZAPCODE is activated, a window is displayed containing the
|
||
|
||
printer options. A bar hilights the currently selected option.
|
||
|
||
The description window contains a description of the selected
|
||
|
||
option. Another window contains a list of keys that can be used
|
||
|
||
to control ZAPCODE. They are:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
UpArrow - Move selection bar up one option
|
||
|
||
DnArrow - Move selection bar down one option
|
||
|
||
PgUp - Move selection bar up one page
|
||
|
||
PgDn - Move selection bar down one page
|
||
|
||
Home - Move selection bar to first option
|
||
|
||
End - Move selection bar to last option
|
||
|
||
Insert - Send the selected option to keyboard
|
||
|
||
Enter - Send the selected option to printer
|
||
|
||
Spacebar - Send reset code sequence to printer
|
||
|
||
Slash (/) - Manually enter codes to send to printer
|
||
|
||
Esc - Exit ZAPCODE
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Use the UpArrow, DnArrow, PgUp, PgDn, Home, and End keys to
|
||
|
||
select a printer option.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Press the Insert key to send the control codes for the selected
|
||
|
||
option to the keyboard. Use this feature to enter printer codes
|
||
|
||
into your word processor, spreadsheet, or any other program.
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE can be configured to enter codes in a variety of formats
|
||
|
||
including decimal and hexadecimal. This feature defaults off and
|
||
|
||
you must use the "PMF Editor" to activate it. (See "Using The
|
||
|
||
PMF Editor" for instructions.) This feature only works when
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE is memory resident. Pressing the Insert key when ZAPCODE
|
||
|
||
is stand-alone or when this feature is off causes the speaker
|
||
|
||
to beep and has no effect.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Press the Enter key to send the control codes for the selected
|
||
|
||
option to the printer. When done, the message "Codes Zapped"
|
||
|
||
will be displayed if the operation was successful. If your
|
||
|
||
printer is off-line or turned off, an error message will be
|
||
|
||
displayed and you will be prompted for necessary action.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Press the Spacebar to send the reset codes to the printer. This
|
||
|
||
is a string of control codes used to restore all printer options
|
||
|
||
to their power-on defaults. Some printers provide a control code
|
||
|
||
for doing just this, while with others, each option must be
|
||
|
||
restored individually. If there are no reset codes configured,
|
||
|
||
this function has no effect.

Sending Printer Codes Manually
|
||
|
||
------------------------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Pressing the Slash (/) key causes a window to be displayed in
|
||
|
||
which you may enter codes to send to the printer. The codes may
|
||
|
||
be entered in any of three formats:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Decimal - eg. 255
|
||
|
||
Hexadecimal - eg. 0FFh
|
||
|
||
ASCII - eg. "&k4s"
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Codes must be seperated by a comma or a space. Codes entered in
|
||
|
||
hexadecimal format must be preceded by a numeric digit and end
|
||
|
||
with the character "h". Codes entered in ASCII format must be
|
||
|
||
enclosed in quotation marks. AS YOU ENTER CODES, THE WINDOW WILL
|
||
|
||
PAD ONCE YOU HAVE REACHED THE RIGHT MARGIN. This allows you to
|
||
|
||
enter an unlimited number of codes.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Example: 27,"&o2e5",0C5h
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
While entering codes, use the following keys to edit and control
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
LeftArrow - Move cursor left one character
|
||
|
||
RightArrow - Move cursor right one character
|
||
|
||
Ins - Toggle insert/overwrite entry modes
|
||
|
||
Del - Delete character under cursor
|
||
|
||
Backspace - Delete character left of cursor
|
||
|
||
F1 - Display syntax help window
|
||
|
||
Enter - Send entered codes to printer
|
||
|
||
Esc - Abort
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Use the LeftArrow, RightArrow, Insert, Delete, and Backspace
|
||
|
||
keys to edit what you have entered. Press F1 to display a window
|
||
|
||
containing information about the syntax that must be used while
|
||
|
||
entering codes. Press Enter to send the entered codes to the
|
||
|
||
printer. Press Esc to abort.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The "Enter Missing Parameter(s)" (EMP) Window
|
||
|
||
---------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Some printer options require that a parameter or parameters be
|
||
|
||
entered before they can be activated (eg. Set Tabs). Selecting
|
||
|
||
one of these options causes a window to be displayed prompting
|
||
|
||
you for the missing parameter(s). This window is identicle to
|
||
|
||
the window used for entering codes manually. However, there is
|
||
|
||
an additional window containing instructions explaining what is
|
||
|
||
expected. Two additional keys are available for scrolling the
|
||
|
||
instruction text:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
PgUp - Display previous page of instructions
|
||
|
||
PgDn - Display next page of instructions
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Once you have entered the necessary parameter(s), the control
|
||
|
||
codes for that option along with the missing parameter code(s)
|
||
|
||
will be sent to the printer.

|
||
| Using The PMF Editor |
|
||
|
||
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Using the PMF Editor, you can create and edit PMF's and change
|
||
|
||
the following PMF control information:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Printer Name
|
||
|
||
Printer Port and Setup
|
||
|
||
Printer Reset Codes
|
||
|
||
Activation Hotkey
|
||
|
||
Window Colors
|
||
|
||
Keyboard Setup
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
All control information is personal and stored in that PMF.
|
||
|
||
This means that each PMF can have its own personal activation
|
||
|
||
hotkey, window colors, and everything else.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The PMF Editor's main editing screen is identicle to ZAPCODE's
|
||
|
||
main selection window. There is an additional window displayed
|
||
|
||
at the bottom containing status information and a list of keys
|
||
|
||
that can be pressed to control editing. They are:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
E - Edit the selected code
|
||
|
||
A - Add a new code after the selected
|
||
|
||
D - Delete the selected code
|
||
|
||
M - Move the selected code
|
||
|
||
C - Configure other options
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The PMF filename and memory usage are displayed in the lower
|
||
|
||
left corner. This memory amount reflects the number of bytes
|
||
|
||
the PMF would use when installed in memory (using the "/I"
|
||
|
||
switch). This amount does not include the 17K bytes ZAPCODE
|
||
|
||
itself uses.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Edit Printer Code

||
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Press "E" to edit the selected printer code. A window will be
|
||
|
||
displayed containing the printer code name, description and
|
||
|
||
actual codes in decimal. Use the following keys during editing:

current cursor location.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Adding An EMP Window *
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
To add an EMP window, place the cursor at the position within
|
||
|
||
the codes that the "missing parameter" codes should be inserted.
|
||
|
||
Then press Alt-A. A window will then be displayed in which you
|
||
|
||
may enter the EMP instruction text. The following keys can be
|
||
|
||
used while entering instruction text:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
UpArrow - Move cursor up one line
|
||
|
||
DnArrow - Move cursor down one line
|
||
|
||
LeftArrow - Move cursor left one character
|
||
|
||
RightArrow - Move cursor right one character
|
||
|
||
Ins - Toggle insert/overwrite entry modes
|
||
|
||
Del - Delete character under cursor
|
||
|
||
Backspace - Delete character left of cursor
|
||
|
||
PgUp - Move to previous page of instruction text
|
||

||
PgDn - Move to next page of instruction text
|
||
|
||
Enter - Finish entering EMP instruction text
|
||
|
||
Esc - Abort
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Use the UpArrow, DnArrow, LeftArrow, RightArrow, Insert, Delete,
|
||
|
||
and Backspace keys to edit the instruction text. If you need
|
||
|
||
additional pages to enter instructions, press the PgDn key. The
|
||
|
||
PgUp key allows you to move back to previous pages. Press Enter
|
||
|
||
to finish and save the new EMP. Press Esc to abort without
|
||
|
||
saving.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
You may create as many EMP windows for a printer option as you
|
||
|
||
like. When the printer option is then later used, each EMP
|
||
|
||
window will display and prompt in the order it is found in
|
||
|
||
the control codes. For example, If you defined the following:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
"Hello ",EMP#1," My name is ",EMP#2,".",13,10
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
(EMP#1 and EMP#2 would be displayed as box characters.)
|
||
|
||
When this option is printed, the following happens:

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. "Hello " is sent to the printer.
|
||
|
||
2. EMP window #1 is displayed and you are prompted
|
||
|
||
for "missing parameter" codes. Let's assume
|
||
|
||
you respond by typing "everybody." (quotation marks
|
||
|
||
included).
|
||
|
||
3. "everybody." is sent to the printer.
|
||
|
||
4. " My name is " is sent to the printer.
|
||
|
||
5. EMP window #2 is displayed and you are prompted
|
||
|
||
again. Let's assume you respond by typing "John Doe".
|
||
|
||
6. "John Doe" is sent to the printer.
|
||
|
||
7. "." is sent to the printer.
|
||
|
||
8. Character 13 (carriage return) and 10 (linefeed) are
|
||
|
||
sent to the printer.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Your printer would have printed the following:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Hello everybody. My name is John Doe.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
EMP windows allow you to do all sorts of great things. Use an
|
||
|
||
EMP window to prompt for the tab stops in a "Set Tabs" control
|
||
|
||
code sequence. Use one to prompt for the recipient's address
|
||
|
||
for printing envelopes. Examine the included PMF's for examples.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Editing An EMP Window *
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
To edit an EMP window, place the cursor on the EMP window symbol
|
||
|
||
and press Alt-E. A window will be displayed containing the
|
||
|
||
instruction text. Follow the same rules for editing an EMP as
|
||
|
||
you did for adding.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Deleting An EMP Window *
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
To delete an EMP window, place the cursor on the desired window
|
||
|
||
symbol and press the delete key. You will be prompted for
|
||
|
||
confirmation before the window is actually deleted. Attempting
|
||
|
||
to type over the EMP window symbol will also delete it. ZAPCODE
|
||
|
||
will ask you to confirm before it does so.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Add Printer Code
|
||
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
|

* Keyboard Setup *
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The "Keyboard Setup" option allows you to tailor the way ZAPCODE
|
||
|
||
sends printer codes to the keyboard. The following options allow
|
||
|
||
you to customize ZAPCODE to work with virtually any program:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Code Format
|
||
|
||
String Prefix
|
||
|
||
String Suffix
|
||
|
||
Code Prefix
|
||
|
||
Code Suffix
|
||
|
||
Code Delimiter
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
"Code Format" is the format each code is expressed in. The
|
||
|
||
following formats are available:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Decimal ............................... 5,15,255
|
||
|
||
Decimal 3 character ................... 005,015,255
|
||
|
||
Hexadecimal with digit start .......... 5,0F,0FF
|
||
|
||
Hexadecimal without digit start ....... 5,F,FF
|
||
|
||
Hexadecimal 2 character ............... 05,0F,FF
|
||
|
||
Hexadecimal 3 character ............... 005,00F,0FF
|
||
|
||
ASCII
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
(C) Copyright 1990 Morton Utilities, Morton Intl. Page 14
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The examples to the right demonstrate how three codes (5, 15,
|
||
|
||
and 255) are expressed when that format is used. "Hex with digit
|
||
|
||
start" means that a numerical digit (0-9) must always lead the
|
||
|
||
number. This is the format ZAPCODE prefers to accept hexadecimal
|
||
|
||
numbers in. The last format, "ASCII", causes each code to be
|
||
|
||
entered as its ASCII character equivalent. Thus, the following
|
||
|
||
codes:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
72 101 108 108 111
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
would yeild their ASCII equivalents:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
H e l l o
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The NUL code (character 0) can be used to define special keys
|
||
|
||
and key combinations. For example, the following codes:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
0 59 65 66 67 0 19
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
translate into:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
F1 A B C Alt-R
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Codes 0 and 59 define the F1 function key. Codes 65, 66, and 67
|
||
|
||
define keys "A", "B", and "C" respectively. Codes 0 and 19
|
||
|
||
define the Alt-R key combination. See Appendix D for a complete
|
||
|
||
list of special keys and the codes needed to define them.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
There aren't many programs that you would use the "ASCII" format
|
||
|
||
for entering printer codes into. However, it does add to
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE's functionality in that it allows you to create keyboard
|
||
|
||
macros. You could, for instance, create a PMF dedicated to this
|
||
|
||
cause entirely. To use one of the macros, you would simply
|
||
|
||
pop-up ZAPCODE, select it, and voila!
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
"String Prefix", "String Suffix", "Code Prefix", "Code Suffix",
|
||
|
||
and "Code Delimeter" are used to specify what comes before,
|
||
|
||
after, and in the middle of each individual code and the entire
|
||
|
||
string of codes. Each of these is sent to the keyboard as an
|
||
|
||
"ASCII" format string. This means you may use special keys and
|
||
|
||
key combinations in them. "String Prefix" specifies what comes
|
||
|
||
before the entire string of codes. "String Suffix" specifies
|
||
|
||
what comes after the entire string of codes. "Code Prefix"
|
||
|
||
specifies what comes before each individual code. "Code Suffix"
|
||
|
||
specifies what comes after each individual code. "Code
|
||
|
||
Delimeter" specifies what comes between each individual code. If
|
||
|
||
three codes were sent, they would look like this:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
SP, CP, Code1, CS, CD, CP, Code2, CS, CD, CP, Code3, CS, SS
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
SP = String Prefix
|
||
|
||
SS = String Suffix
|
||
|
||
CP = Code Prefix
|
||
|
||
CS = Code Suffix
|
||
|
||
CD = Code Delimeter
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Consider the following example:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Code Format = Decimal 3 character
|
||
|
||
String Prefix = "/PPOS"
|
||
|
||
String Suffix = 13,"QQ"
|
||
|
||
Code Prefix = "\"
|
||
|
||
Code Suffix = (nothing)
|
||
|
||
Code Delimeter = (nothing)
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The above configuration can be used to enter codes into Lotus
|
||
|
||
1-2-3. Lotus 1-2-3 requires that each code be expressed as a
|
||
|
||
three digit decimal number and that each is prefixed by the
|
||
|
||
backslash character "\". The "String Prefix" moves 1-2-3 to
|
||
|
||
the "Setup string:" option. The "String Suffix" moves 1-2-3 out
|
||
|
||
of the "Setup string:" option and back to the spreadsheet. With
|
||
|
||
this configuration, all that is needed to do is:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. Pop-up ZAPCODE.
|
||
|
||
2. Select desired printer option.
|
||
|
||
3. Press the Insert key.
|
||
|
||
4. Goto step 2 if more.
|
||
|
||
5. Press Esc key.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
You may also use the "Send to keyboard" feature to insert
|
||
|
||
printer codes into ZAPCODE itself. For instance, you might want
|
||
|
||
to create two PMF's for your printer. One would contain a
|
||
|
||
definition for each individual printer option. The other might
|
||
|
||
contain entire setup strings which might combine individual
|
||
|
||
printer options. To create this second PMF, you could use the
|
||
|
||
first to insert the codes into the PMF Editor. The "Keyboard
|
||
|
||
Setup" for the first would look like this:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Code Format = Decimal
|
||
|
||
String Prefix = "A",0,80,0,80,0,80,0,80,0,80,0,80
|
||
|
||
String Suffix = 0,72,0,72,0,72,0,72,0,72,0,72
|
||
|
||
Code Prefix = (nothing)
|
||
|
||
Code Suffix = (nothing)
|
||
|
||
Code Delimeter = ","
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The "String Prefix" contains:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
"A" key to tell PMF Editor to add a new option.
|
||
|
||
Six DnArrow keys to move the cursor to the "Codes" field.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The "String Suffix" contains:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Six UpArrow keys to move the cursor back from the "Codes"
|
||
|
||
field up to the "Name" field.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
With this PMF resident in memory and while your using
|
||
|
||
the PMF Editor to create the second:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. Pop-up ZAPCODE (which contains the PMF for the first).
|
||
|
||
2. Select desired printer options you wish to combine.
|
||
|
||
3. Press Esc key.

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
You must pop-up ZAPCODE from the main PMF Editor window since
|
||
|
||
the "String Prefix" will take care of adding a new option and
|
||
|
||
moving to the "Codes" field. Once you've exited the resident
|
||
|
||
copy, the codes will be entered and the cursor will be moved
|
||
|
||
to the "Name" field.

| The Printer Make File (PMF) |
|

+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The PMF is simply an ASCII text file which you may edit using a
|
||
|
||
line editor (such as EDLIN) or a word processor. The PMF Editor
|
||
|
||
allows you to easily customize and create your own PMF's without
|
||
|
||
regard to PMF syntax or structure. You may, however, do the same
|
||
|
||
by simply text editing the PMF. This section and appendixes A,
|
||
|
||
B, and C describe the PMF structure, syntax, and conventions in
|
||
|
||
detail.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The PMF consists of commands which tell ZAPCODE the following:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Printer Name
|
||
|
||
Printer Port and Setup
|
||
|
||
Printer Reset Codes
|
||
|
||
Activation Hotkey
|
||
|
||
Window Colors
|
||
|
||
Keyboard Setup
|
||
|
||
Printer Option Names
|
||
|
||
Printer Option Descriptions
|
||
|
||
Printer Option Control Codes
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Each command consists of a keyword and a number of arguments.
|
||
|
||
The keyword identifies what is being defined, while the
|
||
|
||
arguments define it. Appendix A contains a complete list of all
|
||
|
||
PMF commands and their usage.
|
||

PMF Syntax and Guidelines
|
||
|
||
-------------------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. Keywords must be in all capital letters.
|
||
|
||
2. Keywords may start at any location within the line.
|
||
|
||
3. Comments may be used by placing a semicolon before the
|
||
|
||
comment text.
|
||
|
||
4. Blank lines are permitted.
|
||
|
||
5. The equals sign (=) is not necessary but may be used to
|
||
|
||
enhance the clarity of the PMF.
|
||
|
||
6. Arguments may be entered in any of three formats:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Decimal eg. 255
|
||
|
||
Hexadecimal eg. 0FFh
|
||
|
||
ASCII eg. "XYZ"
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Arguments must be seperated by a comma or a space. Arguments
|
||
|
||
entered in hexadecimal must be preceded by a numeric digit and
|
||
|
||
end with the character "h". Arguments entered in ASCII must be
|
||
|
||
enclosed in quotation marks. To use the quotation mark in an
|
||
|
||
ASCII argument, you must define it twice.

| Appendix B - Shift Mask & Hotkey Tables |
|
||
|
||
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
This appendix contains the Shift Mask and Hotkey tables used for
|
||
|
||
defining an alternate activation hotkey. (See the ACTIVATE
|
||
|
||
command in Appendix A for a discussion.)
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
To activate ZAPCODE, a combination of shift keys along with a
|
||
|
||
hotkey must be depressed. The shift keys are the Ctrl, Alt,
|
||
|
||
LeftShift, and RightShift keys, while the hotkey can be any
|
||
|
||
other. To setup your own, you'll need to substitute a value from
|
||
|
||
the Shift Mask Table for the argument "shiftmask" and substitute
|
||
|
||
a value from the Hotkey Table for the argument "hotkey". The
|
||
|
||
Shift Mask and Hotkey tables are on the next page.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Example: To change the activation key sequence to Alt-P, you
|
||
|
||
would substitute 8 for "shiftmask" and 25 for "hotkey".

| Appendix C - Calculating Window Colors |
|
||
|
||
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ZAPCODE consists of eight windows in which any of seven colors
|
||
|
||
can be changed. This appendix outlines the window numbers and
|
||
|
||
their color assignments. (See Appendix A for a discussion of the
|
||
|
||
COLOR command.)
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
To change a window color, you must substitute the desired window
|
||
|
||
number for the argument "window", and a color value for one of
|
||
|
||
the arguments "color1", "color2", etc. depending on which window
|
||
|
||
part you want to change. The Window Color Assignment Table (on
|
||
|
||
the next page) lists each window number and its part assignments.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
To calculate the actual color value that must be substituted,
|
||
|
||
you must use the following formula:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
colorvalue = (background x 16) + foreground
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The table below contains the background and foreground color
|
||
|
||
numbers which must be substituted in the equation above.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
COLOR TABLE
|
||
|
||
=========================================
|
||
|
||
0 Black 8 Gray
|
||
|
||
1 Blue 9 Light Blue
|
||
|
||
2 Green 10 Light Green
|
||
|
||
3 Cyan 11 Light Cyan
|
||
|
||
4 Red 12 Light Red
|
||
|
||
5 Magenta 13 Light Magenta
|
||
|
||
6 Brown 14 Yellow
|
||
|
||
7 White 15 High-intensity White
|
||
|
||
=========================================
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
For example, to change the selection bar color to yellow on
|
||
|
||
blue, you would use the following equation:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
colorvalue = (1 x 16) + 14
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
This would yield 30 for the "colorvalue" argument. Thus your
|
||
|
||
COLOR statement would be:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
COLOR 2,0,0,0,0,0,0,30

| Appendix D - Special Keys Table |
|

+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
This appendix outlines the codes needed to use special keys in
|
||
|
||
the "String Prefix", "String Suffix", "Code Prefix", "Code
|
||
|
||
Suffix", and "Code Delimeter". Special keys can also be used
|
||
|
||
when defining keyboard macros instead of printer options. See
|
||
|
||
section entitled "Keyboard Setup" in "Using The PMF Editor" for
|
||
|
||
details.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The table on the following page lists the special keys on the
|
||
|
||
left and the codes needed to define them on the right. For
|
||
|
||
example, to define "F1" and "Enter", you would use "0,59,13".
