STX x Delete File from Module
This command removes a specific file from the specified module. The file name is removed from the
module directory and thus the file cannot be accessed. The actual storage space occupied by the file
is not released. (To reclaim deleted file storage space use <STX>z.)
Syntax:
<STX>xmtnn…n<CR>
Where:
m
- Module designator; see Appendix J.
t
- The file type identification code:
G
L
F
S

Image file
Label format file
Bit-Mapped font file
Smooth scalable font file
nn…n
- The file name to delete, up to sixteen alphanumeric characters for
graphic or label format files, 3 for bit-mapped font files, and 2 for
smooth scalable font files.
STX Y Output Sensor Values
This command causes the printer to respond with its sensor value status. The printer must be in Test
Mode (see the <STX>KD command). When <STX>Y is received, the printer will respond with A-D
sensor values, see below. To repeat the display of values, send the printer a ‘space character’ (20
hexadecimal). Send <ESC> to terminate the function.
Syntax:
<STX>Y
Printer response:
Thermistor ADC: 0048 Reflective ADC: 0000 Transmissive ADC: 0204
Paperout ADC: 0000 24 Volt ADC: 0217 Contrast ADC: 0093
TOF Adjust ADC: 0170 Ribbon ADC: 0125 Battery level: Good <CR>
Where: Paperout ADC: 0225 indicates paper is present;
0000 indicates paper is not present.
Battery level: ‘Good’ indicates the battery has sufficient charge;
‘Low’ indicates the battery is insufficiently charged
Note: Some readings (e.g., the Media Sensor) require printer controlled paper movement to
indicate a meaningful value.
