After you change these parameters, all packets, including any
future configuration packets, must use the new control characters.
Monarch recommends using the tilde and ASCII character code
sequence when sending this packet multiple times. Also, set the
packet delimiters to characters within the 21 hex to 7E hex range.
You must send the control characters packet to enable the
immediate commands. An immediate command will execute
immediately, even if it is embedded within quotation marks, and
all data following the command in th e string will be ignored.
Example {I,E,"~123~063~034~124~125~126~094" p }
Changes the parameter separator character from , to ?. The
other control characters remain unchanged. It also enables the
immediate commands by defining the ^ symbol as the command
identifier.
Resetting Control Characters
You can change the characters in the previous example back to
their original settings by downloading this packet:
{I?E?"~123~044~034~124~125~126~094"
p }
Notice that the parameter separator is ? in this packet. This is
the parameter separator that was set before this packet. Once
the packet is received by the printer, the new parameter separator
(a comma, in this case) is valid.
Be careful when using this feature. If you forget what the control
characters were changed to, print a test label. (The test label
lists the current control characters.) See "Printing a Test Label,"
in Chapter 8 for more information.
