Example
{
I
,E,"~123~063~034~124~125~126~094"
p
}
Changes the parameter separator character from , to ? . The
other control characters remain unchanged. It also enables the
immediate commands by defining the ^ symbol as the command
identifier.
R e s e t t i n g C o n t r o l C h a r a c t e r s
You can change the characters in the previous example back to
their original settings by downloading this packet:
{
I
?E?"~123~044~034~124~125~126~094"
p
}
Notice that the parameter separator is ? in this packet. This is
the parameter separator that was set before this packet. Once
the packet is received by the printer, the new parameter separator
(a comma, in this case) is valid.
Be careful when using this feature. If you forget what the control
characters were changed to, print a test label. (The test label
lists the current control characters.) See "Printing a Test Label,"
in Chapter 8 for more information.

Use the communication settings packet (F) to set the baud rate,
word length, stop bits, parity, and flow control for serial
communications. To set parallel communications, see "Using
Parallel Communications."
Changing the communication settings takes approximately two
seconds. Communications sent during this interval will be lost.
Make sure the host communication values match the values on
the printer and the host is capable of communicating at the speed
you select for the printer.
Do not add any characters, such as a carriage return/line feed, in
your communication settings packet or communications errors
may occur.
