Chapter 3

When LP+ Text Mode is set to “Auto Pass-thru,” non-PPI data is automatically detected and passed through to the LP+ emulation (PPI data is processed normally). If the hex commands 0x02 or 0x03 are received, they are treated as binary data and passed through to the LP+ emulation; they are not treated as the equivalent ^XA and ^XZ commands. System-generated line terminators within commands are also passed through as binary data to the LP+ emulation and not absorbed, as they are in the “Absorb” mode.

If LP+ Text Mode is set to “ZGL Quiet,” all data (including all PPI commands except ~L0, ~L1, and ~L2) are passed through to the LP+ emulation. When an ~Lx command is received, the corresponding front panel setting is updated to reflect the current LP+ Text Mode value.

Text printing is useful in debugging label definitions, as it allows the incoming data to be printed without entering hex dump mode. Simply placing ~L2 before the label definition (to enter Quiet mode) and ~L0 or ~L1 after it (to return to PPI command processing) causes the label definition commands to be printed rather than executed. Text generated via the base emulation is not part of overlay data for any repetitive job.

^MC - Mp Clear

This command controls clearing of the label bitmap after printing. PPI may not keep the previous label as a bitmap, but as text.

^MD - Media Darkness

Identical darkness values may not produce the same darkness on your printer as ZPL.

^MN - Media tracking

This command selects the type of media the printer is using: continuous, transmissive, or reflective.

^PF - Slew Dot Rows

With PPI, a slew speed increase may not occur since PSA slew definition and use may be different than ZPL.

~PH / ^PH - Slew to Home

The PPI ONLINE light is illuminated when the printer is online.

^PO - Print Orientation

The following orientation parameter values are allowed:

N: No rotation (Normal)

R:Rotate 90 degrees (Landscape) I : Rotate 180 degrees (Inverted)

B:Rotate 270 degrees (Inverted Landscape)
