Function Sets the amount of time a portable printer will stay

awake after completing a print job.

Explicit Form

Implicit Form

VARIABLE SLEEP_AFTER duration

V SLEEP_AFTER duration

Parameters

duration

Length of time the printer will stay

awake, in seconds. The allowable

range is 0 to 255, with a default of

one second.

Setting duration to 0 will keep the

printer awake continuously.

Comments When using this command, send it to the printer

with VARIABLE WRITE in a nonprinting label

format. Do not use this command in stored label

formats.

NOTE: Cognitive does not recommend setting a long

SLEEP_AFTER duration unless the printer is powered

from an external source. Keeping the printer awake for

long periods will substantially reduce battery charge life.
