Label-Formatting Commands
54 E-Class DPL Programmer’s Manual
^ Set Count by Amount
This command allows applications using the increment / decrement field command to print more than
one label with the same field value before the field data is updated. All printers default to 1.
Note: This command can only be issued once per label format. In addition, when alternate
Control Codes are enabled, the ^ character must be replaced by the @ character
(hexadecimal 0x40). See Control Codes.
Syntax:
^nn
Where:
^
- May be 0x55 or 0x40, see Control Codes.
nn
- Is a two-digit value that specifies the number of labels to be
generated before incrementing (or decrementing) the field value.
Sample:
<STX>L<CR>
13220000000000012345<CR>
-01<CR>
^02<CR>
Q0006<CR>
E<CR>
The sample prints two labels containing the same field value before decrementing the field. Six
labels are printed.
Special Label-Formatting Commands
Two Special Label-Formatting Commands, the <STX> S and the <STX> T, are entered directly into the
data field of label format records. Do not confuse them with System-Level Commands because the same
control character is used. If alternate control codes are enabled the <STX> becomes ‘~’ (hexadecimal
0x7E); see Control Codes.
