Introduction
This chapter provides a detailed description of all commands available in the
Intermec printer command set. The Intermec printer command set is used with
all Intermec printers and includes every command used by the entire product
line. Some of the commands are not used with the 4100 printer, but have been
included for reference. Those commands not active in the 4100 printer are
noted in the command descriptions. If you send a command not used by the
4100 printer, it ignores the command. When designing label formats or
printing labels, refer to this chapter for command reference information.
Command Set Summary
Commands depend on the operating mode of the printer: Print mode,
Program mode, or Test and Service mode. When the printer is in any of these
modes, it responds to the commands specific to that mode only. As described
in Chapter 6, “Designing Labels and Using Commands,” you use Print mode
commands to print labels and download data. You use Configuration
commands (also sent in Print mode) to enable or disable printer features and
options. Program mode commands are used for label format design.
Immediate commands take precedence over all other commands and allow you
to query the printer on the status of print jobs, to abort print jobs, and to reset
the printer. The functional boundaries of labels are listed at the end of this
chapter.
To make finding a command easier, the following table lists all commands
(regardless of operating mode) in alphabetical order according to the command
description. The pages that follow this table contain complete descriptions of
the commands separated according to the operating mode of the printer.
