OCommand - Hardware Options

Description Use this command to select various printer op- tions. Options available vary by printer configuration.

Syntax O[C[p1], D, P, L, S]

Parameters D = Enable Direct Thermal Mode, use this option when using direct thermal media in a thermal transfer printer.

P = Enable Label Dispense Mode -

Portables

L = Enable Label Dispense Mode - Tap to Print. The printer will present each label and wait for a tap of the feed switch before printing the next label. Use this mode when printing multiple copies of liner-free labels.

C = Enable optional Label Liner Cutter. The cutter will cut at the end of each form as specified by the Q command.

Cp1 = Batch Print Labels and Liner Cut.

p1= Sets the number of labels to print prior to cut.

If a number between 1 - 255 is specified for p1, the printer will cut after the spec- ified number of labels have been printed.

If b is specified for p1, the “batch print & cut” feature is enabled. This feature uses the P command to control cutter operation.

S = Reverse the Transmissive (Gap) Sen- sor Operation.
