System-Level Commands

STX s Set Single Buffer Mode
This command, available for backward compatiblity, instructs the printer to use single buffer
operation. In single buffer mode, the printer will erase and format all fields. This, in turn, decreases
printer throughput when incremental, decremental, or replacement fields are used (see Label-
Formatting Commands). See <STX>d.
Syntax:
<STX>s
STX T Print Dot Pattern Label
This command instructs the printer to produce a Dot Pattern Label, a label comprised of differnet
patterns that exercise the printhead. This is the same test label printed when powering on the printer
while pressing the FEED Button, except that the printer will not produce a Configuration Label or
enter the Hex Dump Mode. To view the full dot pattern use media at least 2 inches (51 mm) long and
as wide as the maximum print width.
Syntax:
<STX>T
Printer response:
STX t Test DRAM Memory Module
This command tests the DRAM module; however, the printer must be in Test Mode for the command
to function. The printer returns a one-line message stating the module condition (no message is
returned if a module is unavailable). To enable the Test Mode see the <STX>KD command.
Syntax:
<STX>t
