50 Prodigy Max Operator’s Manual
There are two special commands used by the Printer, the STX S (Recall
Global Data) and the STX T (Print Date and Time) commands. Unlike
the other Label Format Commands, which follow the STX L command,
these special commands are entered directly into the data field.
Character Description
<STX>S Recall global data and place in field.
<STX>T Print time and date.
Table 4-5 Special Label Formatting Commands
Bitmapped font loading commands are usually generated by font creation
software. However, the assigned font ID number command must be sent
to the Printer before the font file. Refer to Table 4-6 for the font loading
command characters.
The downloaded font will be stored in the "default" module,
(see STX X).
