Appendix C — Setup Parameters

XON/XOFF is a protocol in which communication is controlled by the control characters XON (ASCII 17 dec.) and XOFF (ASCII 19 dec.) transmitted on the same line as the data. XON/ XOFF can be enabled/disabled separately for data received from the host by the printer (printer sends XON/XOFF) and for data transmitted to the host from the printer (host sends XON/ XOFF).

New Line

Selects the character or characters transmitted from the printer to indicate a new line. There are three options:

•

CR/LF

ASCII 13 + 10 dec. (default)

•

LF

ASCII 10 dec.

•

CR

ASCII 13 dec.

Receive Buffer

The Receive buffer stores the input data before processing. The size is 8192 bytes and cannot be changed.

Transmit Buffer

The transmit buffer stores the input data before processing. Default size is 8192 bytes and cannot be changed.

Feed Adjust Setup

The Feedadjust part of the Setup Mode controls how much of the media is fed out or pulled back before and/or after the actual printing. These settings are global and will be effected regardless of which program is run.

Note: The firmware uses the front edges of labels with gaps, the ends of detection slots, and the forward edges of black marks for detection, all seen in relation to the feed direction.

Start Adjust

The Start Adjust value is given as a positive or negative number of dots. Default value is 0, which places the origin a certain distance back from the forward edge of the copy.

•A positive start adjustment means that the specified length of media will be fed out before the printing starts. Thus, the
