E-Class DPL Programmer’s Manual 9
SOH E Send Batch Quantity
This command causes the printer to send back a four-digit number indicating the quantity of labels
that remain to be printed in the current batch, followed by a carriage return. Communications latency
may cause this value to be higher than actual on some printers.
Syntax:
<SOH>E
Printer response:
nnnn<CR>
Where:
nnnn
- Is four decimal digits, 0-9999.
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 below). If an option is unavailable for
the printer, the single bit will always be 0. See <SOH>A.
Syntax:
<SOH>F
Printer response format:
X<CR>
Where ‘X’ is 0 through 0xef with bits as indicated in the ‘Condition’ column below:
Bit

SOH U Update System Database with Current Database
This command saves the current printer configuration to Flash memory. Only those parameters stored
in Flash memory are affected. These are all the parameters that can be modified via the Setup Menu.
The values of any <STX> System Commands issued prior to <SOH>U and affecting printer
configuration items will also be saved. See the <SOH># command, above, for details on what events
occur during a reset.
Syntax:
<SOH>U
Printer response: The printer will reset.
<XON>T (The T may come before the <XON>).
