Label Formatting Command Functions

beginning with register A, ending at register P, and incrementing with each instance of the G command use.

H - Enter Heat Setting

This command changes the “on time” of elements of the printhead. (The default setting can be changed through the keypad). An increase or decrease in this value results in a change of heat applied by the printhead to the media, lightening or darkening the print contrast accordingly. This is helpful when using different media types, each requiring a different amount of heat to properly image the media. The host device can send this command value to correct the heat setting per the application.

m Set Metric Mode

This command sets the printer to measure in metric. When this command is sent, all measurements will be interpreted as metric values, (e.g., a column offset of 0010 will be interpreted as 1.0mm). All printers default to Imperial (inch) mode. Menu selectable.

n Set Inch Mode (Imperial)

This command sets the printer to measure in inches. When this command is sent, all measurements will change to inches. All printers default to Imperial units. Menu selectable.

P Set Print Speed

This command sets a print speed for a label or batch of labels.

Q Set Quantity Of Labels To Print

This command sets the number of the label copies to be printed. All printers default to 1.

R Set Row Offset Amount

This command allows vertical adjustment of the point where printing begins. This is useful when a single format is printed on several different types of labels that contain pre-printed information. However, if the pre-printing does not appear in the same place on every label, data may overprint the pre- printed areas. The ‘R’ command instructs the printer to print label formats

nnnnincrements above the position the format specifies. Valid input values are numbers between 0000 and 9999, (refer to the C, Set Column Offset Amount Command.)

This command is used to retrieve entire label formats that have been stored on a memory module.
