System-Level Command Functions
Class Series 2 Programmer’s Manual 19
STX c Set Continuous Paper Length
This command sets the label size for applications using continuous media. It disables the
top-of-form function performed by the Media Sensor. The sensor, however, continues to
monitor paper-out conditions. See
<STX>M
.
Syntax:
<STX>cnnnn
Where:
nnnn -
Specifies the length of the media feed for each label
format, in inches/100 or millimeters/10 (see
<STX>m
).
Sample:
<STX>c0100
The sample above sets a label length of 100, which equals 1.00
inch (assuming Imperial Mode is selected).

This command must be reset to zero for edge or reflective sensing operation.
STX E Set Quantity for Stored Label
This command sets the number of labels for printing using the format currently in the
print buffer. (The printer automatically stores the most recent format received in the
buffer until the printer is reset or power is removed.) When used in conjunction with the
<STX>G
command, this will print the format.
Syntax:
<STX>Ennnnn<CR>
Where:
nnnnn -
A five-digit quantity, including leading zeros.
<CR> - 0x0d
terminates the name.
Sample:
<STX>E00025<CR>
<STX>G
Printer response: 25 labels of the current format in memory will be printed.

If no
<CR>
terminates the command, a four-digit quantity (
nnnn
) can be entered; and,
specifying 9999 will cause continuous printing.
