Immediate Commands
8 E-Class DPL Programmer’s Manual
SOH B Toggle Pause
This command toggles the printer’s paused state between on and off. (This is the same function
achieved by pressing the PAUSE Button on the front panel.)
Syntax:
<SOH>B
Sample:
<SOH>B
Printer response format: This command will illuminate the Paused Indicator, suspend printing and
wait until one of the following occurs:
The <SOH>B command is sent to the printer.
The PAUSE Button is pressed.
Upon which the printer will turn the Paused Indicator ‘off’ and resume
operation from the point of interruption. (If the Receive Buffer is not full,
an <XON> character will be transmitted from the printer.)
SOH C Stop/Cancel
This command performs the same function as pressing the CANCEL Button on the printer’s front
panel. This function clears the current label format from the print buffer, pauses the printer and
illuminates the Paused/Stop Indicator. (The pause condition is terminated as described under
<SOH>B.)
Syntax:
<SOH>C
SOH D SOH Shutdown
This commands the printer to ignore Immediate Commands (^A). The SOH shutdown command is
required before loading images or fonts because some may contain data sequences that could be
interpreted as Immediate Commands. After the SOH shutdown command is sent, Immediate
Commands can be turned back on by sending a valid SOH command three times, separated by a one
second delay between each command, or by manually resetting the printer. It is good practice to
check batch quantities (<SOH>E) to verify that the SOH commands are working.
Syntax:
<SOH>D
