Paxar manual S e t t i n g C o n t r o l C h a r a c t e r s, ?E?~123~044~034~124~125~126~094 p

E4. "string 2" Terminator for job requests and data uploads. Up to any 3 characters in the 0 - 255 decimal range. The default is none. Sending "" disables this sequence.

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 - 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 the 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.

R e s e t t i n g C o n t r o l C h a r a c t e r s

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 the diagnostic labels. (The labels list the current control characters.) See "Printing Diagnostic Labels," in Chapter 8 for more information.
