E-Class DPL Programmer’s Manual 13
STX c Set Continuous Paper Length
This command sets the label size for applications using continuous media. It disables the top-of-form
function performed by the Media Sensor. The sensor, however, continues to monitor paper-out
conditions. See <STX>M.
Syntax:
<STX>cnnnn
Where:
nnnn
- Specifies the length of the media feed for each label format, in
inches/100 or millimeters/10 (see <STX>m).
Sample:
<STX>c0100
This sample sets a label length of 100, which equals 1.00 inch (assuming Imperial Mode is selected).
Note: This command must be reset to zero for edge or reflective sensing operation. Pre-printed
media cannot be used with a continuous paper length because print registration will be lost.
STX d Set Double Buffer Mode
This command, available for backward compatiblity, enables double buffer mode. When printing
labels with incrementing, decrementing and replacement fields (see note below) the printer will only
erase and format those fields, leaving the rest of the label format untouched, and thus increasing
throughput. This command is only active if the labels being printed are less than half the maximum
size of the print buffer (see <STX>S).
Syntax:
<STX>d
Note: This command is generally not used because fast formatting is the normal operating mode
when the number of variable print fields (Label-Formatting commands +, -, <, >, u) is less
than or equal to 1/3 of the total print field count. In this case the command will force fast
formatting even when the proportion of variable print fields is greater than 1/3 the total. The
maximum label size is unaffected by this command. The <STX>s command restores
normal (fast) formatting.
STX E Set Quantity For Stored Label
This command sets a number of labels for printing using the format currently in the print buffer. (The
printer automatically stores the most recent format received in the buffer until the printer is reset or
power is removed.) When used in conjunction with the <STX>G command, this will print the labels.
Syntax:
<STX>Ennnn
Where:
nnnn
- A four-digit quantity, including leading zeros.
Sample:
<STX>E0025
<STX>G
Printer response: 25 labels of the current format in memory will be printed.
Note: This command may be issued prior to a label format without a specified quantity, Qnnnnn.
