Instruction manual

This is the syntax to use when you create online configuration packets:
Syntax
{ Start of Header
I, Con fig u ra tion Header
1 - 8 op tional re cords
A, pa ram e ter 1...pa ram e ter 5 p Sys tem Setup
B, pa ram e ter 1...pa ram e ter 5 p Sup ply Setup
C, pa ram e ter 1...pa ram e ter 5 p Print Con trol
D, pa ram e ter 1...pa ram e ter 3 p Mon e tary For mat ting
E, pa ram e ter 1...pa ram e ter 9 p Con trol Char ac ters
F, pa ram e ter 1...pa ram e ter 5 p Com mu ni ca tion Set tings
} End of Header
Syntax for single packet
{ Start of Header
I, Con fig u ra tion Header
A, pa ram e ter 1...pa ram e ter 5 Sys tem Setup
} End of Header
You can also add a configuration to RAM or specify units for supply, print, margin, and cut
positions. If you use the optional parameters with the I packet, any online configuration
packets following the split vertical bar ( p ) must specify distances using the selected units.
However, the test labels display the units in dots, even if you entered them in English or Metrics
units.
Syntax {header,ID#,action,device p }
1. header Constant I.
2. ID# ID. Use 0.
3. action Action. Options:
A Add configuration.
U Upload User Configuration.
4. device Storage Device. Use R (Volatile RAM).
Example {I,0,A,N,E p
C,0,25,0,0,0 p }
Adds a configuration to non-volatile RAM and specifies English units. It also uses the default
contrast, moves print 0.25 inches closer to the bottom of the supply and does not change the
margin adjustment, prints at the default print speed, and uses the default printhead width.
If you do not use the optional parameters, the syntax for the online configuration packets does
not change. For example,
{I,C,0,50,0,0,0 p }
uses the default contrast, moves print 50 dots (0.25) inches closer to the bottom of the supply
and does not change the margin adjustment, prints at the default print speed, and uses the
default printhead width.
