Datamax DGL manual Emulations, Printer Configuration, Command Reference, Ignored Commands

Chapter 3

The Media Handling menu setting can be set up through the Software Switch Setting command <STX>V. Enabling the Cutter bit selects ‘Cut’ Media Handling, and the Present bit selects ‘Tear-Off’. Disabling cutter or present bit selects media handling setting ‘Continuous’.

The <STX>V command can be ignored by setting the DGL Advanced-User menu ‘Soft. Switch (V)’ to Ignore.

Emulations

Datamax allows emulation of legacy and other resolution printers through menu settings (Plus, Allegro, Column and SOP emulations). None of these emulations are supported on DGL.

Printer Configuration

All DPL commands affecting the printer configuration will be ignored.

DGL has its own configuration management to save / load configuration settings that can be used instead. See table below for the affected commands (all ignored):

<STX>KC	Get Configuration
