PRINTER SETUP

VARIABLE BUFFER_TIMED_RESET

Function Enables or disables the memory reset timer.

Explicit Form

VARIABLE BUFFER_TIMED_RESET duration

Parameters

duration

Timer duration in 0.1 second

intervals. The minimum value is 2

(0.2 seconds), maximum is 59990

(about one hour and forty minutes).

The default value varies by printer

type:

Code Courier – The default value is

5 (0.5 seconds). You can also specify

the value as ON or OFF. ON will set

the timer to 8 seconds, and OFF will

set it to 512 seconds.

Barcode Blaster – The default value

is 6000 (ten minutes).

Comments The printer expects incoming data to arrive in a

timely manner. It will clear memory if it receives

the beginning of a line of data and fails to receive

the accompanying end-of-line termination (carriage

return or line feed) within the time set by

BUFFER_TIMED_RESET. Code Courier will also go to

sleep at that time. This keeps the printer from

waiting indefinitely for incoming data that was lost

due to a communications error. The timer value

may need adjustment if the printer must

communicate with a system that has unusual data

transmission timing.

When using this command, send it to the printer

with VARIABLE WRITE in a non-printing label

format. Do not use this command in stored label

formats.
