SOH E - Send Batch Quantity
This command causes the printer to send back a 4-digit number indicating the
quantity of labels left to print in the current batch, followed by a carriage
return. Communications latency may cause this value to be higher than actual
on some printers.
(Not supported.)
SOH F - Send Status Byte
This command instructs the printer to send a single status byte where each bit
(1 or 0) represents one of the printer’s status flags, followed by a carriage
return, see table below. If an option is unavailable for the printer, the single bit
will always be 0. A satisfied condition equals 1.
(Not supported.)
SOH U - Update System Database with Current Database
This command will copy the current User database into the system database.
There are various DPL commands that modify the configuration of the printer.
See the <STX>K…command for specifics on how these commands function.
The user should send the <SOH>U command after these configuration
commands so that these commands can take affect. This command will
cause the printer to reset. See the <SOH># command above for details on
what events occur during a reset.
(Not supported.)
STX J - Set Pause for Each Label
This command causes the printer to pause after printing each label and is
intended for use with the optional Peel and Present Mechanism or with a Tear
Bar when no Present Sensor is installed. After removing the printed label, the
PAUSE button must be pushed in order to print the next label. (The printer
must be reset to clear the <STX >J command.)
(Not supported.)
STX KC - Get Configuration
This command returns the configuration of the printer. The form of the
returned data is similar to that of a printed Configuration Label. This command
should be Parsed by KEYWORDS, not by Character POSITIONS. Each line
is terminated by a CR (0x0d) & LF (0x0a).
(Not supported.)
STX Kc - Configuration Set
This command specifies the Power-up Configuration parameter values for the
printer. It is equivalent to using other system commands followed by the
<SOH>U. The printer will reset upon completion of a command stream
containing parameter value changes; no commands should be sent to the
printer until this reset is complete. This command is intended for easily
configuring a custom setup, not for dynamic configuration changes.
(Not
supported.)
STX Kd - Set File as Factory Default
This command selects the specified file name as the “factory default” for the
printer’s configuration. After execution, subsequent “Select Factory Default”
commands will configure the printer to the file’s configuration. Currently there
are three ways to “Select Factory Defaults”: 1) by the <STX>KF command; 2)
