Extended System Commands
Present Adjust –
Serial Port Configuration – This command is followed by the port ID, always ‘A’ (i.e., SPA) then by the configuration parameter and value of Baud or Data Bits:
Baud Rate – The SPABnn command sets the baud rate for the printer serial port, where nn may be any of the following:
Bnn | Baud Rate (Bits Per Second) |
12 | 1200 |
24 | 2400 |
48 | 4800 |
96 | 9600 |
19 | 19200 |
38 | 38400 |
Sample: <STX>KcSPAB38<CR>
The above sample sets the printer serial port baud rate to 38400 BPS (the host computer communications setup is expected to be the same) and has the same effect as using the Setup Menu.
Data Bits – The <STX>KcSPADn command selects either 7 or 8 data bits, where n may be either of the following:
Dn | Data bits (word length) |
7 | 7 |
8 | 8 |
Sample: <STX>KcSPAD8<CR>
The above sample sets the printer serial port to receive
SOP Adjust –
Stop Location – Configures the printer for all standard label present positions, as follows:
Setting | Stop Location |
Host | Provides backward compatibility for users engaging the cutter or Present Sensor to |
| achieve present distances. The stop location (present distance) may be controlled |
| dynamically by the host using the <STX>f or <STX>Kf commands. This selection |
| has the same effect as <STX>KD Ignore Host Distance bit value 0. |
Peel | Sets the stop location to approximately 2 mm behind the peel bar edge, a nominal |
| peel position. The Present Sensor status and this setting are independent. |
Cut | Sets the stop location to a nominal cut position. For |
| following the end of the label. The cutter status and this setting are independent. |
Cover | Sets the stop location to that of the tear bar on the printer cover. |
None | Sets the stop location to the start of the next label, equivalent to setting the |
| <STX>KD Ignore Host Distance bit value 1. |
|
|
Note: | The Peel, Cut, Cover, and None settings prevent host commands from affecting start |
| of print (<STX>O) and stop position (<STX>f, <STX>Kf) commands from being |
| honored. All stop locations can be adjusted with PRESENT ADJUST. |
