Using Immediate Commands –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Immediate commands affect printer operation as soon as the
printer receives them, even if they are included within a packet
or used inside quotation marks.
You can use immediate commands to change immediate
command or status polling control characters, reset the printer,
or cancel and repeat batches.
Enabling Immedia te Comma nds
When the printer is first turned on, these commands are not
available. To use these commands, you must first send the
control characters packet and define the immediate command
control character. The immediate command control character
is saved in non-volatile RAM and therefore not lost after you
turn off the printer. Once the immediate command control
character is defined, the immediate commands are enabled.
