When the printer receives the Message Display Command, it displays the message on the LCD then enters a pause state after processing the received data (after completing the label issue, if the Issue Command has been sent).

The pause state is cleared by the [RESTART] key and the LCD displays the normal message. After the pause state is cleared, the printer resumes processing the received data following the Message Display Command.

(1)16 characters are displayed. When the display data is less than 16 characters, the blank data is processed as spaces. When the display data exceeds 16 characters, the excess data is discarded.

(2)During a pause, a halt due to an error, or a head open state, the Message Display Command is not processed even if the command is received. In this case, the command is processed after the above state is cleared.

(3)The following data can be displayed.

If anything other than the following data is received, “?” is displayed or a command error results.
