Label-Formatting Commands
Introduction
The <STX>L command switches the printer from the System-Level Processor to the Label-Formatting
Processor. All commands following the <STX>L are interpreted as label-formatting commands, and can
be used to override default parameter values. Selectable parameter value defaults may be also reassigned
via the Setup Menu, as defined in the corresponding Operator’s Manual. Label formats that contain no
commands overriding printer default values will assume those defaults.
: Set Cut By Amount
This command allows a predetermined number of labels to be printed before a cut is initiated, a
useful feature when it is necessary to print an uncut batch of labels. Between 1 and 9999 labels may
be printed before a cut is made. The amount must be smaller than the quantity of labels printed. The
printer default is one.
Syntax:
:nnnn
Where:
nnnn
- Is a four digit decimal number indicating the number of labels to
be printed before a cut is performed.
Sample:
<STX>L<CR>
:0005<CR>
141100001000100SAMPLE LABEL<CR>
Q0021<CR>
E<CR>
The sample instructs the printer to make a cut after 5, 10, and 20 labels have been printed. Label 21
will be cut at the start of a subsequent label format (batch) unless a default (cut by amount) greater
than one has been entered.
Note: The cutter must be enabled and all mechanism interlocks closed for the cut operation.
