^A ^D COMMAND
X 63 Text Control Mode: Allows the entry of new text without the ^D2 command
and/or clears all previous text when new text is added.

Disable modes 1 and 2.
1 Enable Auto-Print mode. If this mode is selected, the printer will accept new
text strings without requiring the ^D2 command. The printer can also auto-
print a label when the number of received text strings (carriage returns) equal
the number specified by the ^D64 command. This mode is useful when
interfacing to a scale, bar code wand of other limited host that is capable of
generating and sending carriage return characters.
2 Clear Previous Text Upon Receiving New Data. When one of more characters
of new text is entered, the all-existing text data will be erased. The printer may
be programmed to enter the mode automatically upon power-up by position 1
of software switch #2 (^D22 command).
3 Enable modes 1 and 2.
XX 64 Auto-Print String Count: This command is used in conjunction with the
^A1^D63 auto-print command. The ^Axx specifies the number of text strings
(carriage returns) to accept before issuing the print command. When the
printer is in the auto-print mode, it is not necessary to send the ^D2 command
to enter text or the ^D3 command to initiate printing. The printer will accept
incoming text strings and print the label as soon as the number of strings
equal the amount specified by the ^D64 command.
The following is an example of the ^D61, ^D63, and ^D64 commands:
