UBI EasyCoder 301 Direct Protocol – Programmer's Guide Ed. 1

Chapter 3 Principles of Operation

8. Feeding and
Printing
Commands

9. Setting Up the
Printer

Some commands control printing and paper feed, e.g.:
• Changing paper feed speed
• Rotating the print roller during cleaning
• Feeding out an empty label, ticket, tag or piece of strip
• Adjusting the label stop/black mark sensor.
• Printing one label or a batch of labels (or similar).

You can control how the printer will work, e.g.:
• Select standard IN and OUT channels
• Set the printer's clock/calendar
• Set formats for the printing of date and time
• Set separators for input data strings to predefined layouts
• Create label counters
• Enable/disable the optional label-taken sensor
• Enable/disable Feed key
• Format the printer's RAM memory or a memory card
• Remap certain incoming characters
• Select character set(s)
• Restart the printer
• Select verbosity level
• Select type of error message
• Enable error handling and create customized error messages
• Select method for breaking the printing of a batch of labels
• Change the printer's setup

Provided you have two-way serial communication between printer
and host, you can return the printer's status with regard to a number
of functions to the host, e.g.:
• Current date and time
• Memory status
• Printhead status and characteristics
• Value of various system counters
• Status of various sensors
• Software and hardware version
