MPCLII Packet Reference Manual

F7. pr_address Printer’s address. Can be any six-byte string in the 0 to 255 decimal range enclosed by quotes. We recommend setting the printer’s address to the printable alphanumeric ASCII values (0-9; A-Z; a-z). This avoids any conflict with the control characters (ENQ, parameter separators, etc.) and is easily interpreted.

Example {I,F,3,1,0,0,1,"ABC123" p }

Uses a baud rate of 9600, an 8-bit word length, one stop bit, no parity, the DTR mode, and sets one printer’s address to ABC123.

If the only parameter you need to change is the printer’s address, make sure the printer is selected and ready to receive data. Then, send this packet:

Example {I,F,,,,,,"ABC123" p }

Keeps your previously defined communication settings and sets one printer’s address to ABC123.

Turn on the next printer you want to address and set the address by sending the communication settings packet. Repeat the addressing procedure for any remaining printers. After a printer has been addressed, immediate commands are enabled and the caret (^) is the defined immediate command character. If you need to change the immediate command character, see "Defining the Control Characters Packet" in Chapter 3 for more information.

Addresses remain in the printer after you turn off the printer. You can readdress any printer at any time by sending the communication settings packet. If a printer has been selected by the immediate command, it remains active until a different printer is selected or you turn the printer off. Only one printer may be active at a time. The defined printer address is displayed on the test label above the bar code. See "Printing a Test Label" in Chapter 8 for more information.
