Resetting Control Characters
You can change the characters in the previous example back to
their original settings by downloading this packet:
{
I
?E?"~123~044~034~124~125~126~094"
p
}
Notice that the parameter separator is ? in this packet. This is
the parameter separator that was set before this packet. Once
the packet is received by the printer, the new parameter separator
(a comma, in this case) is valid.
Be careful when using this feature. If you forget what the control
characters were changed to, print a test label. (The test label
lists the current control characters.) See "Printing a Test Label,"
in Chapter 8 for more information.
Defining the Communication Settings Packet
Use the communication settings packet (F) to set the baud rate,
word length, stop bits, parity, and flow control for serial
communications. To set parallel communications, see "Using
Parallel Communications." To use DIP switches, refer to your
Operator’s Handbook. Changing the communication settings
takes approximately two seconds. Communications sent during
this interval will be lost. Make sure the host communication
values match the values on the printer.
Do not add any characters, such as a
carriage return/line feed, in your
communication settings packet or
communications errors may occur.
