System-Level Commands
E-Class DPL Programmer’s Manual 17
STX L Enter Label-Formatting Command Mode
This command switches the printer to the Label-Formatting Command mode. Once in this mode, the
printer expects to receive Record Structures and Label-Formatting Commands. Immediate, System-
Level, and Font-Loading commands will be ignored until the label-formatting mode is terminated
with E, s, or X, (see Label-Formatting Commands for additional information).
Syntax:
<STX>L
STX M Set Maximum Label Length
This command instructs the printer move media this distance in search of the top-of-form (label edge,
notch, black mark, etc.) before declaring a paper fault. A paper fault condition can occur if this
setting is too close (within 0.1 inch [2.54 mm]) to the physical length of the label. Therefore, it is
good practice to set this command to 2.5 to 3 times the actual label length used. The minimum value
should be at least 5” (127 mm).
Syntax:
<STX>Mnnnn
Where:
nnnn
- Is a four-digit length, 0000-9999, in/100 or mm/10. Maximum
setting is 9999 (99.99 inches or 2540 mm). The default setting is
16 inches/ 406.4 mm
Sample:
<STX>M0500
The sample sets a maximum travel distance of 5 inches (unless printer is in metric mode, see
<STX>m).
STX m Set Metric Mode
This command sets the printer to interpret measurements as metric values (e.g., <STX>c0100 will
equal 10.0 mm). The default is Imperial (inches) Mode (see <STX>n).
Syntax:
<STX>m
STX n Set Imperial (Inches) Mode
This command sets the printer to interpret measurements as imperial values (e.g., <STX>c0100 will
equal 1.00 inch). The printer defaults to this mode.
Syntax:
<STX>n
