Line Mode
Line Mode allows the printer to respond to raw data from a device that may not be able to
send a complete DPL file. In Line Mode raw data is directed into replaceable fields in formats
or templates stored in the printer.
The printer can be placed in Line Mode via the front panel, as explained in the printer’s
Operating Manual
, or by using the
<STX>KcEM
command (see Extended System-Level
Command Functions), where:
<STX>KcEM0
will enter standard DPL Mode; and,
<STX>KcEM1
will enter Line Mode.
•
A reset will follow a change of mode.
•
While in Line Mode, the printer will also respond to DPL commands; however, special
download types (such as firmware updates) should only be sent when the printer is in
DPL mode.
Line Mode Specifics
Raw data sent to the printer must be terminated by a carriage return [0x0D].
The host timeout setting (see
<STX>KcHT
) will determine the maximum waiting period
between data sent. If the timeout value is reached, the label will print using the data
received before timeout occurred.
A form feed command [0x0C] may be sent to terminate processing and print the data
that has been received.
Issuing the
<STX>Ennnn
command (where nnnn represents the print count), allows
quantities of the same label to be printed.
The printer must have a template program loaded. A template is a standard DPL file that
ends in a store format command, instead of the print command (E). The template name
must be either DMXFRM or DMXFRMxx. Using DMXFRMxx, allows multiple templates to
be available.
Sample Template 1:
The following sample uses
DMXFRM
as the template name and stores it to the default module.
(The default module is printer model dependent.)
