Print Speed
Command Structure:
<ESC>CSa
a: Designates the speed selection
See Note for allowable settings
Example: <ESC>CS6
Placement: Must be placed immediately after <ESC>A and imme-
diately before <ESC>Z in its own separate data stream
Default: As previously set in the printer configuration
Function:
To specify a unique print speed through software for a particular label.
This allows flexibility in finding the best performance and quality for the
particular label format, media, and ribbon. All subsequent labels will
print at this speed unless the speed is changed with this command or
through the Operator Panel.
Input:
<ESC>A
<ESC>CS5
<ESC>Z
Output:
There is no printer output for this command. It sets the print speed of
the printer.
Note:
1. This becomes the new setting in the printer configuration for all
subsequent print jobs, unless changed. The setting is stored in
non-volatile memory and is not affected by cycling the power.
2. This command will overwrite the Display Settings.
