18 E-Class DPL Programmer’s Manual
STX O Set Start of Print Position
This sets the point to begin printing relative to the top-of-form (the label’s edge as detected by the
Media Sensor). The printer will feed from the top of form to the value specified in this command to
begin printing. This value operates independently of the <STX>f command.
Syntax:
<STX>Onnnn
Where:
nnnn
- Is a four-digit offset value. The “zero” setting is the default value,
and settings below 50 are adjusted back to the default value. The
default setting is 0220 in Imperial Mode (0559 in metric).
Sample:
<STX>O0300
The sample sets a start of print position of 3.0 inches (unless in Metric Mode, see <STX>m).
STX o Cycle Cutter
This command will cause the (optional) cutter mechanism to immediately perform a cut after all
previously received commands are executed. The cutter must be installed, enabled and the interlock
closed for operation.
Syntax:
<STX>o
STX P Character (Hex) Dump Mode
This command instructs the printer to enter the Character Hex Dump Mode (also known as ASCII
dump or monitor mode). Data sent to the printer following this command will be printed in raw
ASCII format. Labels must be at least four inches (102 mm) long and as wide as the maximum print
width. This command has the same effect as turning the printer ‘On’ while pressing the FEED
Button; however, no Configuration/Test Pattern label is printed. To return to normal operation the
printer must be manually reset.
Syntax:
<STX>P
STX p Controlled Pause
This command will cause the printer to pause only after all previously received commands are
executed. This controlled pause is often useful between batches of labels. (This command will not
clear the pause condition, see <SOH>B).
Syntax:
<STX>p
