STX F - Form Feed

This commands the printer to form feed one label.

STX G - Print Last Label Format

This command prints a previously formatted label and restarts a canceled batch job after the last processed label. This is used when there is a label format in the print buffer. The <STX>E command is used to enter the quantity.

STX I - Input Image Data

This command must precede image data downloading from a host computer to the printer. The data that immediately follows the command string will be image data.

STX i - Downloading Scalable Fonts

The command structure for downloading TrueType (.TTF) scalable fonts follows, (font files must be single character systems).

STX K - Extended-System Commands

This expands the System-Level Commands. See the Extended-System Commands for more information.

STX KE - Character Encoding

This command specifies a character in the DPL datastream to be substituted with a delimited two-character ASCII hexadecimal numeric equivalent.

Any character in the DPL datastream may be substituted with a delimited two- character ASCII hexadecimal numeric equivalent. The command allows the delimiting character to be selected, and the encoding to be enabled or disabled. When character encoding is enabled, the printer will decode any ASCII hexadecimal numeric pairs following the delimiter as single byte values. This command is used where control characters cannot be transmitted or where control characters within data may prematurely terminate a label format record. Although the delimiter may be changed at any time (except within a label format definition) there cannot be more than one defined delimiter, and character encoding must be disabled with <STX>KN prior to re-enabling, regardless of any change in the delimiter.

STX k - Test RS-232 Port

This command instructs the printer to transmit the character Y from the printer’s RS-232 port. (Failure to receive Y could indicate an interfacing problem.)

STX L - Enter Label-Formatting Command

This command switches the printer to the Label-Formatting command input mode. Once in this mode, the printer expects to receive Record Structures and Label-Formatting commands. Status and Control, System-Level, and Font-Loading commands will be ignored until the label formatting mode is
