Extended System Commands

STX Kf

Set Present Distance

This command specifies an additional amount to advance the label after printing. This command has the same effect as the <STX>f command, but specifies a distance to advance relative to the start of print (<STX>O command) of the next label.

Syntax:<STX>Kfnnnn<CR>

Where:

nnnn - A four-digit present distance in inches/100 or mm/10.

Sample:<STX>Kf0100

The sample represents a one-inch label advance unless in metric mode (see <STX>m).

STX KQ Query Memory Configuration

This command causes the printer to transmit DRAM memory configuration to the host device regarding the total amount installed, the amount available for configuration, and the amount currently assigned to specific functions or entities.

Syntax:<STX>KQ<CR>

Printer response format: INTERNAL MEMORY<CR>

VER: aa-cdd.ee mm/dd/yy<CR>

INSTALLED: iiii<CR>

AVAILABLE: vvvv<CR>

MODULE: X:xxxx<CR>

SCALABLE: ssss<CR>

LABEL MEM: LLLL<CR>

LABEL SIZE: wwww:gggg:oo<CR>
