H Enter Heat Setting
This command changes the “on time” of elements of the print head. The default setting is 10 (except
in the case of printers with a menu, where the default setting can be changed through the keypad). An
increase or decrease in this value results in a change of heat applied by the print head to the media,
lightening or darkening the print contrast accordingly. This is helpful when using different media
types, each requiring a different amount of heat to properly image the media. The host device can
send this command value to correct the heat setting per the application.
Syntax:
Hnn
Where:
nn
- Is a two-digit heat value (00-30)
Sample:
<STX>L<CR>
H15<CR>
141100001000100SAMPLE LABEL<CR>
E
The sample sets the printer for a heat value of 15 and prints one label.
Note: Non-Display Models – the “Darkness Potentiometer,” while providing subtle changes, is intended to
be used to match print contrast levels following print head replacements.
J Justification
This command changes the printing justification.
Note: Display-Equipped Models – This command is only valid for use with scalable fonts.
Syntax:
Ja
Where:
a
- Is a single-digit alpha character:
L
= left justified (default)
R
= right justified
C
= center justified
Sample:
<STX>L<CR>
1911A1801001000TEST1
JR
1911A1801000100TEST2
JC
1911A1802000200TEST3
E
The sample’s first text field “TEST1” will be printed at one inch up, one inch over going right. The
second text “TEST2” will be printed at one inch up one inch over, going left. (Note the characters
will not be reversed.) The third field “TEST3” will be centered on the point two inches up two inches
over.
