Extended System Commands
E-Class DPL Programmer’s Manual 45
H Select Heat Setting
This command changes the “on time” of the printhead elements. The factory default setting is 10.
Increasing or decreasing this value causes an according change in the amount of heat applied by the
printhead to the media surface, resulting in a lightening or darkening of the contrast on the printed
label. This command, helpful when using different media types where each requires a different
amount of heat to properly image the media, allows a heat adjustment per the application.
Syntax:
Hnn
Where:
nn
- Is a two-digit heat value, 00-30 (see note below).
Sample:
<STX>L<CR>
H15<CR>
141100001000100SAMPLE LABEL<CR>
E
The sample sets the printer for a heat value of 15 and prints one label.
Note: The Darkness Potentiometer, while providing subtle changes, is intended to be used to
match print contrast levels following printhead replacements.
M Select Mirror Mode
This command instructs the printer to “mirror” all subsequent print field records by toggling a
mirroring mode. Mirrored fields are transposed visually as if the object is viewed in a mirror.
Syntax:
