Table 5-3: <STX>KD Configuration Commands
STX KE Character Encoding
This command is provided primarily as a means for users of 7-bit communication and to embed
control characters and extended ASCII characters in their datastreams. Any character in the DPL
datastream may be substituted with a delimited two-character ASCII hexadecimal numeric
equivalent. The command allows the delimiting character to be selected, and the encoding to be
enabled or disabled. When character encoding is enabled, the printer will decode any ASCII
hexadecimal numeric pairs following the delimiter as single-byte values. Character encoding is used
where control characters cannot be transmitted or where control characters within data may
prematurely terminate a label format record. Although the delimiter may be changed at any time
(except within a label format definition), there cannot be more than one defined delimiter, and
character encoding must be disabled with <STX>KEN prior to re-enabling, regardless of any change
in the delimiter.
Syntax:
<STX>KEex
Where:
e
- Y – character encoding enabled
N – character encoding disabled
x
- Delimiter: one ASCII character (Do not include when e = N)
