Label-Formatting Commands
44 E-Class DPL Programmer’s Manual
f Set Present Speed
This command controls the rate at which the present distance is positioned, allowing the media
movement to be slowed during ‘presentation’ (the distance traveled after printing is completed to the
label stop position). This command is used only within the context of a label format. The speed
assigned is retained until another label format is received or until power is removed; if a subsequent
format does not contain a present speed command then the present speed reverts to the slew speed.
Syntax:
fa
Where:
a
- Is a single alpha character representing a speed, limited by the
slew speed range; see Appendix K. The default is the slew speed.
Sample:
<STX>LD11H30PGSG
fA
191100200830165Fixed Data Field 1
E
<STX>L
191100200830165Fixed Data Field 1
E
The sample prints two labels; the first label has present speed of 1 inch per second, while the second
reverts to the slew speed of 4 inches per second.
G Place Data in Global Register
This command saves the print data of a print format record in a global register (temporary storage).
This data can then be retrieved and copied to another record in the same label format using the
Special Label-Formatting Command <STX>S. Global registers are named in the order received,
beginning with A and ending at P; and are incremented with each instance of G command use.
Syntax:
G
Sample:
<STX>L<CR>
121100000000000Testing<CR>
G<CR>
1A2210001000000<STX>SA<CR>
E<CR>
The sample stores, retrieves and prints the data in global register A. One label is printed with
“Testing” in two locations.
