HOST SETTINGS

 

Settings which affect all communications

 

 

 

 

with a host.

 

HOST TIMEOUT

The number of seconds a communications

 

—10 SEC

(1-60)

port must be idle before the printer may

 

 

 

 

process data from a different port. This

 

 

 

 

value is also used to “timeout” an image /

 

 

 

 

label format download.

 

CONTROL CODES

Allows the operator to change the prefix of

 

 

 

 

the software commands interpreted by the

 

 

 

 

printer.

 

 

—STANDARD CODES

Hex 01 = SOH command; Hex 02 = STX

 

 

 

 

command; count-by = ^; Hex 1B = ESC;

 

 

 

 

Hex 0x0D = Carriage Return

 

 

ALTERNATE CODES

Hex 5E = SOH command; Hex 7E = STX

 

 

 

 

command; count-by = @; Hex 1B = ESC;

 

 

 

 

Hex 0x0D = Carriage Return

 

 

ALTERNATE CODES 2

Hex 5E = SOH command; Hex 7E = STX

 

 

 

 

command; count-by = @; Hex 1B = ESC;

 

 

 

 

Hex 0x7C = Carriage Return

 

 

ALTERNATE CODES 3

Hex 5E = SOH command; Hex 23 = STX

 

 

 

 

command; count-by = @; Hex 1B = ESC;

 

 

 

 

Hex 0x0D = Carriage Return

 

 

 

 

FEEDBACK CHARACTERS

Returns a Hex 1E, [RS], after each label

 

 

 

 

successfully prints, and a Hex 1F, [US],

 

 

 

 

after each batch of labels is printed.

 

 

ENABLED

 

Feedback characters are sent to the host.

 

 

 

 

 

 

—DISABLED

No feedback characters are sent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ESC SEQUENCES

Allows data containing invalid ESC control

 

 

 

 

code sequences to be processed.

 

 

—ENABLED

Normal printer operating mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DISABLED

ESC sequences are ignored and the data is

 

 

 

 

processed. Bitmapped font downloads are

 

 

 

 

disabled in this mode.
