SERIAL OUTPUT “@” COMMANDS
The printer formatting “@” commands and their data configurations are as
follows:
@@
PRINT AN “@”
Purpose:
Use the @@ command to cause the output to send an “@” sign. Since this
character is normally used for printer formatting, this is the only way to output the
@ sign by itself.
@B
PRINT BLANK SPACES
Purpose:
Use the @B command to cause the output to send a series of spaces. Can be used
to position data on a label without having to enter multiple spaces.
Input Data Form:
@Bxx where xx is any number from 01 to 99 which equals the number of spaces
desired.
Note: Exactly two digits must follow the “@B” command.
Output Data Form:
“x” spaces are output limited to 99. For more spaces use two @B commands in
series.
Note: For spaces fewer than 5, it is more efficient to enter spaces instead
of the @B command.
Example - Building on the previous example, we’ll center the “MSI 3750” on a
20 column printer:
@B06å4åMSI3750åå5º
The @B06 command printed 6 spaces followed by “MSI 3750” in red expanded
characters.
@C
PRINT ID CODE NUMBER
Purpose:
Use the @C command to cause the output to send the current product code
number. The number can vary from 0 to 999 depending on the current ID# that
the scale is set in. Note that the blank place holder ID# is always 1, so the lowest
alpha entry will be ID#2.
Input Data Form:
@C1
to print the ID Code number plus descriptor
@C2
to print the ID Code number only
