STX S Recall Global Data And Place In Field

Once a global register has been defined, its contents can be used as data in other fields. When the printer receives the command <STX>Sn in a format record data field, it will place data from the specified global register into the data field, (see Label-Formatting Command G). Global registers contain the data in the first A through P format record data fields.

STX T Print Time and Date

Time and date string data is selected by choosing the string character A through Z and a through h to retrieve data from the printer’s internal clock. The date string characters are not printed, instead the printed label will show the corresponding print values.

The <STX>T may now be preceded by data to be printed/encoded and/or the string may now be terminated by a <STX> command followed by data terminated by a <CR>.
