Cancel (SOH C)
The stop/cancel function will immediately stop the printer and cancel the current
print job. If currently in the middle of printing a label, it will stop printing and
feed the label to the cut position.
Sample:
<SOH>C
Disable SOH (SOH D)
This command causes the printer to ignore immediate commands (^A). The SOH
shutdown command must be sent before loading graphic images that are sent
using 8-bit data. These image files may contain data sequences that could be
interpreted as an immediate command.
Sample:
<SOH>D
After the SOH shutdown command is sent, immediate commands can be turned
back on by sending the system command <STX> H or by resetting the printer. If
feedback characters are enabled, a code will be sent back to the host when the
SOH commands are enabled. If feedback characters are not used, it is good
practice to check batch quantities <SOH>E to verify that the SOH commands are
working. This test should not occur in label formatting mode. If it is sent during
label formatting mode, and SOH commands are not yet enabled, this command
will be misinterpreted.
Send Batch Quantity (SOH E)
This command causes the printer to send back a 4-digit number indicating the
quantity of labels left to print in the current batch, followed by a carriage return.
Communications latency may cause this value to be higher than actual on some
printers.
Sample:
<SOH>E
Printer Response:
0000<CR>
