Extended System Commands
STX S Recall Global Data And Place In Field
This command, when in the format record data field, places data from a specified global register into the data field. See the G command.
Syntax: | <STX>Sn | |
Where: | n | - Specifies the global register (A − P) that contains the data to |
|
| place into the data field. |
Sample: | <STX>L<CR> | |
| 121100000000000DMX<CR> | |
| G<CR> |
|
| 1A2210001000000<STX>SA<CR> | |
| E<CR> |
|
The sample places the string “DMX” into the next a vailable global register (A), and then line 4 is effectively replaced by the data from global register A.
STX T Print Time and Date
This command, using string characters and markers, allows time and date data to be selected and retrieved from the printer’s internal clock. In addition, the <STX>T may be preceded by data to be printed/encoded, and/or the string may now be terminated by an <STX> command and then followed by more data terminated by a <CR>. The string characters/markers are not printed; instead, the printed label will show a corresponding print value.
Note: When using substitution you must ensure the converted string produces valid characters for the selected bar code / font.
Syntax: | <STX>Tstring<CR> |
