The STX L command switches the Printer from the system level to the
label-formatting command. All command characters after STX L are
interpreted as Label Formatting Commands until terminated with E,X, or
s. All label formatting commands are terminated with 0D HEX.
CC Description Format
: Set cut by amount (4 digits)
The cutter function will perform a cutting
action after the number of labels specified : nnnn
nnnn = 4 digits of labels printed
before cut. Default = 0001
A Set format attribute A n n = 1 - XOR
2 - Transparent
3 - Opaque
5 - Inverse
C Set column offset amount C nnnn nnnn = Inches/100
c Set cut by amount (2 digits) c nn nn = 2 cut amount
D Set height and width dot size h = Horiz. dot size; can be 1 or 2
v = Vert. dot size; can be 1,2, or 3
(0.005" steps) Default is “D22”
E Terminate field generation and print label
G Place data in global register
H Enter heat setting
(The amount of heat applied per dot row can
be used to help control print quality) H nn nn = 2 digits. 1 - 30
10 is nominal and default
Print contrast is relative to speed
M Mirror text/bar code Second transmission restores print
m Set metric mode
P Print speed P a a = single char.
Enter maximum speed for print cycle, 1

p Set label backup speed p a a = single char. (C - I)
Q Enter quantity of labels to print Q nnnn nnnn = quantity
R Set row offset amount R nnnn nnnn = row offset
r Recall stored label format r nn...n nn...n label name of up to
16 char. terminated by CR
S Slew speed S a a = single character
Sets maximum speed for label feeding. 1
