Command Parameter, DD or, DCd, ID or ICd | Monarch 9830, 9835, 9805

Command	Parameter

^CA	Cancels all the batches in the queue.

^CB	Cancels only the current batch being printed.

^DD or	Disables the MPCL data escape character (the tilde) and inhibits MPCL
^DCd	from acting on ANY data escape sequence from the host. Sets the MPCL
	data escape character to the ASCII value given by the d parameter. The
	value can be any ASCII character.
^EA	Aborts an error condition. This command is the same as pressing CLEAR
	(ESCAPE/CLEAR) to clear an error. May need to be sent multiple times.
	Use ^RB to reprint batch.
	CAUTION: Command causes the current batch to stop and the
	condition that caused the error to remain uncorrected.

^ER	Resets the error. This command is the same as pressing FEED
	(FEED/CUT) to acknowledge an error. Normal operation will resume.
^FD	Feeds a label when printer is idle. Simulates the operation of pressing
	FEED (FEED/CUT) and dispenses the next label if printer is in the
	on-demand mode. NOTE: Printer ignores this command if printing.

^GD	Disables conversion of formats designed in 203 dpi density dot units to 300
	dpi density.
^GE	Enables the conversion of formats designed in 203 dpi dot units (not
	English or Metric) to 300 dpi.
^ID or ^ICd	Disables the Immediate Command feature by turning off the Immediate
	Command escape character. Sets the Immediate Command escape
	character to the ASCII value given by the d parameter. The value can be
	any ASCII character.

^MC	Returns the customer ID or RPQ version to the host. (00 to 99)

^MD	Returns the printhead dot density to the host. 00 = 203 dpi 01 = 300 dpi

^MI	Returns the customer ID or RPQ revision level to the host. (00 to 99)

^MM	Returns the model number to the host. 06 = M9820 07 = M9830
	08 = M9835 09 = M9840 11 = M9403 15 = M9805 16 = M9850
^MP	Returns the prototype number to the host. (00 to 99)

^MR	Returns the revision number to the host. (00 to 99)

^MV	Returns the version number to the host. (00 to 99)

^PR	Resets the printer. This command takes five seconds to complete and then
	the printer is ready to receive data. It has the same effect as turning off
	and then turning on the printer.
	NOTE: Command should be used only when the printer is not printing.
