Notes:

- Some streams like „/dev/panel“ are always Unicode-streams. Using ‘b’ or ‘u’ modifiers can have

strange effects!

- Writing to an interface (e.g. /dev/rs232) will fail if the printer cannot send the data. There’s a time

out of 10 seconds.

- Opening an interface as file stops ESC interpretation on this device.

- abc has an additional command called FLUSH which enables you to clear the input buffer of

/dev-streams in read mode (e.g. FLUSH #1 when 1 ist /dev/rawip). FLUSH #0 clears standard input.

- abc has an additional command to erase files: ERASE „name“.

Communication with Web Browsers:

cab printers have a web server which is usually used for administration, but can also be used to

access data like images or HTML pages from the card. So it is only logical to seek a way to transmit

data from the browser

the printer. This is normally done by CGI scripts using forms. We do it the

same way :-) You can however not define CGI scripts your own, but we provide a way to get form

data into your abc program:

HTML

You simply define a form in your HTML page which uses get_form.cgi as ACTION.

</form>

This form lets the user enter some data in a text field called „example“. After clicking the „Send data“

button, the form content is sent from the browser to the web server and parsed there. Then the

extracted data is put into the input buffer which can be read by abc or directly by JScript. There

are two special field names available:

nextpage

this defines the name of the html page which is loaded after sending the form.

Default is index.htm.

jscript

Can be used to send a JScript command before the data. So you can e.g. send

a „M l lbl“ command before the data of the form.

A more complex example showing most of the possibilities of the CGI interface is the „cinema ticket“

program. This is available on request. In this case you can contact „support@cabgmbh.com“
