3 Command Enhancements

And Differences

For more information on SOH command functionality, refer to the Bi- Directional Communications section on page 41.

SOH # - Reset

This command resets the printer. Resetting the printer returns all settings to default and clears both the communications and printing buffers. The command also clears the internal RAM memory. (Not supported.)

SOH *- Reset

This command resets the printer. Resetting the printer returns all settings to default and clears both the communications and printing buffers. The command also clears the internal RAM memory. (Not supported.)

SOH A - Send ASCII Status String

This command allows the host computer to check the current printer status. The printer returns a string of eight characters to the host, followed by a carriage return. Each character is either a ‘Y’ or ‘N’ indicating that the associated condition is true (Y) or false (N). Byte 1 is the first character transmitted by the printer. See <SOH>F. (Not supported.)

SOH B - Toggle Pause

This command toggles the printer’s paused state on and off. (This is the same function achieved when pressing the PAUSE button on the printer. (Not supported)

SOH C - Stop/Cancel

This command performs the same function as pressing the STOP/CANCEL button on the printer’s front panel. This function clears the current label format from the print buffer, pauses the printer, and illuminates the pause/stop indicator. (Not supported.)

SOH D - SOH Shutdown

The internal firmware architecture no longer requires the execution of an “SOH” shutdown for binary downloading. (Obsolete command.)
