Example Output:   

 

 

 

Note: 

The printer must be configured with fonts that contain the 

extended character sets used in the selected country. 

Timeout Utility 

 

Purpose:  The Timeout utility allows you to set the time the printer remains on 

without receiving data. If no data is received after the specified time, the 
printer turns itself off to save energy and preserve battery life. You can 
disable the timeout feature by setting the timeout value to 0. 

 

Format: 

<!> <UTILITIES>

 

{command} {time} 
<PRINT>  

where: 

{command}:

 TIMEOUT 

{time}:

 

Time in 0.125 second of inactivity before the printer turns 
itself off. 

 

Example: 

Input (TIMEOUT.LBL):

 

! UTILITIES 
TIMEOUT 960 
PRINT 

This example sets the printer to turn off after 2 minutes of inactivity (120 
seconds x 8 = 960).
