Configuration Commands

Amount of Storage, Define

Purpose To determine the amount of RAM that is allocated for storage.

Syntax <SI>N

Partially Supported Based on testing, this is a partially supported command with the

following differences and outputs:

• This command does not define the amount of memory in the printer because this is

done by the hardware. However, when this command is executed, user-defined

formats, fonts, and graphics are erased from memory.

Auto-Transmit 1, Enable

Purpose To enable auto-transmit 1.

Syntax <ESC>j

Partially Supported Based on testing, this command is partially supported on the Zebra

printer with APL-I firmware with the following differences and outputs:

•Error messages not supported: The takeup reel full error is not

transmitted by this command, but all other error messages are.

Auto-Transmit 2, Enable

Purpose To enable auto-transmit 2.

Syntax <ESC>d

Supported Based on testing, this command works the same on the Zebra printer with

APL-I firmware as on the 3400D printer.

Notes With auto transmit level 2 enabled, the printer transmits the status code indicating

there is room in the input buffer:

<DC1> = when using APL-I handshaking protocol

<DC2> = when using XON/XOFF handshaking protocol

Without level 2 enabled, the host must determine the status using alternate commands (<VT>

or <ENQ>).
