Program Mode Commands
Program mode commands are used specifically for label format design and to
download user-defined fonts and graphics. To set the printer to Program mode,
send the following command string:
<STX><ESC>P<ETX>
When you create or edit formats, the printer uses a field pointer to designate the
field that is to be modified when the printer is in Program mode. To download
commands in Program mode, you must specify the field to be changed. If you
do not select a field, the pointer continues to point to the last selected field until
a different format or field is selected.
Note: Each string of commands must be preceded by the start of message character
<STX>, and followed by the end of message character <ETX>. The semicolon (;) is the
command terminator. All commands in Program mode must end with this terminator
except the last command in a message. Parentheses {( )} and <LF> characters are
ignored by the printer.
New formats contain a default human-readable field numbered H0. New pages
do not contain a default format.
The following command descriptions explain the commands that are effective
when the printer is in Program mode. The command descriptions are listed in
alphabetical order.
