System-Level Command Functions
STX A - Set Time and Date
This command sets the time and date. The initial setting of the date will be
stored in the printer’s internal memory. This date can be verified by printing a
configuration label.
STX a - Enable Feedback Characters
This command enables the feedback ASCII HEX characters 07, 1E, and 1F to
be returned from the printer following specific events.
STX B - Get Printer Time and Date Information
This command retrieves the time and date information from the printer and
transmits the response to a host device. See <STX>A for details and
restrictions.
STX c - Set Continuous Paper Length
This command is used to define the page (label) size when printing on
continuous media. It disables the media sensor top-of-form function but
continues to monitor paper-out conditions.
STX E - Set Quantity For Stored Label
This command sets the number of labels to print for the label format currently
stored in the print buffer. (The printer automatically stores the most recent
label format in the buffer until the printer is reset or turned ‘Off’.) To print, this
command is used in conjunction with the <STX>G command.
STX e - Select Edge Sensor
This command enables “see-through” sensing for top-of-form detection of die-
cut and notched media. The printer’s transmissive media sensor will detect a
minimum gap of 0.05 inches (1.27mm) between labels. Label stock must be
at least 0.1 inches (2.5mm) between each top-of-form (start of print point on
the next label).
