Overview 8 Class Series 2 Programmer’s Manual
2 Control Code Command Functions Introduction The printer requires a special “attention-getter” character in order to receive a command sequence, informing the printer that it is about to receive a command and the type of command it will be. Control Commands, System-Level Commands, and Font Loading Commands have their own unique attention-getter, followed by a command character that directs printer action. Attention-Getters The attention-getters (e.g.
Control Code Command Functions Alternate Control Code Modes For systems unable to transmit certain control codes, Alternate Control Code Modes are available. Configuring the printer to operate in an Alternate Control Code Mode (selected via the Setup Menu, the Kc command or, where applicable, the KD command) requires the substitution of Standard Control Characters with Alternate Control Characters in what is otherwise a normal data stream.
3 Immediate Command Functions Introduction When the printer receives an Immediate Command, its current operation will be momentarily interrupted to respond to the command. Immediate Commands may be issued before or after System-Level commands; however, they may not be issued among Label Formatting Commands or during font or image downloading. Immediate Commands consist of: 1. Attention-Getter, 0x01 or 0x5E; see Control Code Command Functions. 2.
Immediate Command Functions SOH A Send ASCII Status String This command allows the host computer to check the current printer status. The printer returns a string of eight characters, followed by a carriage return. Each character (see below) indicates an associated condition, either true (Y) or false (N). Byte 1 is transmitted first. See F.
Immediate Command Functions Where: Possible Values a Y/N b Y/N c Y/N d Y/N e Y/N f Y/N g Y/N h Y/N : i Y/N j Y/N k Y/N l Y/N m Y/N n Y/N o Y/N p Y/N : q Y/N r Y/N s Y/N t Y/N u Y/N v Y/N w Y/N x Y/N Interpretation Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y : Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y : Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Interpreter busy (imaging) Paper out or fault Ribbon out or fault Printing batch Busy printing Printer paused Label presented Rewinder out or fault Always : Cutter Fault Paper Out Ribbo
Immediate Command Functions SOH C Stop/Cancel This command performs the same function as pressing the STOP/CANCEL Key (i.e., it clears the current format from the print buffer, pauses the printer, and illuminates the Paused/Stop Indicator). (The pause condition is terminated as described under B.
Immediate Command Functions SOH e Send Batch Printed Quantity This command causes the printer to return a four-digit number indicating the quantity of labels that have been printed in the current batch, followed by a carriage return. Communications latency may cause this value to be lower than actual on some printers. Syntax: e Printer response: nnnn Where: nnnn SOH F - Are four decimal digits, 0-9999.
Immediate Command Functions 16 Class Series 2 Programmer’s Manual
4 System-Level Command Functions Introduction The most commonly used commands are the System-Level Commands. These are used to load and store graphics information, in addition to printer control. System-Level Commands are used to override default parameter values (fixed and selectable) and may be used before or after Immediate Commands but cannot be issued among Label Formatting Commands. System-Level Commands consist of: 1. Attention-Getter, 0x02 or 0x7E; see Control Code Command Functions. 2.
System-Level Command Functions STX a Enable Feedback Characters This command enables the feedback ASCII hex characters to be returned from the printer following specific events after each completed batch of labels when using serial communications. The default value is ”OFF”. Syntax: a Printer response: Event dependent. (Also see Appendix D for error codes.
System-Level Command Functions STX c Set Continuous Paper Length This command sets the label size for applications using continuous media. It disables the top-of-form function performed by the Media Sensor. The sensor, however, continues to monitor paper-out conditions. See M. Syntax: cnnnn Where: nnnn Sample: c0100 STX E - Specifies the length of the media feed for each label format, in inches/100 or millimeters/10 (see m).
System-Level Command Functions STX e Select Edge Sensor This command enables transmissive (see-through) sensing for top-of-form detection of die-cut and holed (notched) media. This sensor will detect a minimum gap of 0.1 inches (2.5 mm) between labels (see the Operator’s Manual for media requirements). This is the default setting. Syntax: STX F e This command is ignored when cnnnn is issued with a non-zero value for nnnn.
System-Level Command Functions STX G Print Last Label Format This command prints a previously formatted label and restarts a canceled batch job following the last processed label. This is used when there is a label format in the buffer. The E command is used to enter the quantity. (Without the E command, one label will print.) Syntax: STX I G Input Image Data This command must precede image downloading from the host to the printer.
System-Level Command Functions Sample: nn…n - Up to 16 characters used as an image name. - 0x0d terminates the name. data - Image data D IDpTest data...data The sample above instructs the printer to (1) receive an 8-bit PCX image sent by the host in an 8-bit data format, (2) name the image “Test”, and (3) store it in Module D (with a .dim file extension). STX i Scalable Font Downloading The command structure for downloading TrueType (.
System-Level Command Functions STX J Set Pause for Each Label This command causes the printer to pause after printing each label. It is intended for use with the peel mechanism or tear bar when the Present Sensor option is not installed. After removing the printed label, the PAUSE Key must be pushed in order to print the next label. (The printer must be reset to clear the J command.
System-Level Command Functions STX M Set Maximum Label Length This command instructs the printer move media this distance in search of the top-ofform (label edge, notch, black mark, etc.) before declaring a paper fault. A paper fault condition can occur if this setting is too close (within 0.1 inch [2.54 mm]) to the physical length of the label. Therefore, it is a good practice to set this command to 2.5 to 3 times the actual label length used. The minimum value should be at least 5” (127 mm).
System-Level Command Functions STX O Set Start of Print (SOP) Position This command sets the point to begin printing relative to the top-of-form (the label’s edge as detected by the Media Sensor). The printer will feed from the top-of-form to the value specified in this command to begin printing. This value operates independently of the f command. Non-Display Models: The printer Options Control must be set (via the menu) to “Host” for this command to have effect.
System-Level Command Functions STX o Cycle Cutter This command will cause the optional cutter mechanism to immediately perform a cut after all previously received commands are executed. The cutter must be installed, enabled and the interlock(s) closed for operation. Syntax: STX P o Set Hex Dump Mode This command instructs the printer to assume Hex Dump Mode. Instead of a formatted product, data sent following this command will be printed in its raw ASCII format.
System-Level Command Functions STX Q Clear All Modules This command instructs the printer to clear all Flash and DRAM modules (except as noted); see the corresponding Operator’s Manual for applicable module options. All stored data will be destroyed. Syntax: STX q Q Will not affect Module Y or the ILPC Font module. Clear Module This command clears the selected Flash or DRAM module.
System-Level Command Functions STX r Select Reflective Sensor This command enables reflective (black mark) sensing for top-of-form detection of rolled butt-cut, and fan-fold or tag stocks with reflective marks on the underside. This Media Sensor will detect a minimum mark of 0.1 inches (2.54 mm) between labels (see the Operator’s Manual for media requirements). The end of the black mark determines the top of form. Use the O command to adjust the print position.
System-Level Command Functions STX t Test DRAM Memory Module This command tests the DRAM module. The printer returns a one-line message stating the module condition (no message is returned if a module is unavailable). The printer must have Feedback Characters enabled for this command to function. Feedback Characters can be enabled via the menu (see the Operator’s Manual for additional information). 3 Syntax: t Response format: Module D: xxxxK Where: xxxx - Module size in Kbytes.
System-Level Command Functions The sample above produces three labels. The first is formatted with the commands between L and E. The next two labels print with the replacement data contained in the U commands (see E and G). The bar code is the same length: 3 digits and nine spaces.
System-Level Command Functions STX V Software Switch Settings This command controls the printer options, where the appropriate value allows the option(s) to be “On” or “Off.” Each option has a corresponding bit whose value is “1” when enabled. The tables below indicate the bit assignments and corresponding command value needed to enable the desired option(s). Printer options are set by entering selections through the menu.
System-Level Command Functions STX v Request Firmware Version This command causes the printer to send its version string (same as printed on the configuration label). The version may be different from printer to printer. Syntax: v Printer Response: VER: H-4212–11.04 01/01/2008 STX W Request Memory Module Information This command requests a memory module directory listing. Results may vary depending on printer class, model, or firmware version.
System-Level Command Functions STX w Test Flash Memory Module This command tests the Flash module. The time for each test will vary from 20 to 120 seconds, depending upon the size of the module. All stored data will be destroyed. If no module is present, there will be no printer response. Syntax: wa Where: a Response format: Module A: xxxxK results Where: A - Module tested. xxxx - Module size in Kbytes. results - Test results given as “Good” or “Bad”.
System-Level Command Functions STX x Delete File from Module This command removes a specific file from the specified module. The file name is removed from the module directory and thus the file cannot be accessed. The actual storage space occupied by the file is not released. To reclaim deleted file storage space use z to pack the module. Syntax: xmtnn…n Where: m - Module designator; see Appendix K.
System-Level Command Functions STX Y Output Sensor Values This command causes a sensor value response. When Y is received, the printer will respond with the digitally converted values of the internal analog sensors (see below). To repeat the display of values, send the printer a “SPACE” character (20 hexadecimal); or, send to terminate this function. The printer must have Feedback Characters enabled for this command to function.
System-Level Command Functions STX Z Print Configuration Label This command causes the printer to produce a Database Configuration Label. To capture all printed information, use the labels as wide as the maximum print width (see Appendix K) and at least four inches (102 mm) long. Syntax: Z Printer response: CONFIGURATION TUE 09:09 AM 10FEB2009 PRINTER KEY: 4212-HE25-060224-090 APPLICATION VERSION: 83-2541-11H3 11.083 12/22/2008 MCL Version: 1.00.06-072 BOOT LOADER: 83-2539-11A 11.
5 Extended System-Level Command Functions Introduction Issued in the same context as System-Level Commands, the Extended System-Level Commands expand certain System-Level Commands to provide an extra degree of printer control. STX K Memory Configuration This command configures the available DRAM (including any installed optional DRAM) as a method for managing printer memory. Memory can be assigned to specific entities or functions in units of 4KB blocks.
Extended System-Level Command Functions smooth scalable font processor will remain unchanged. The allocation must be at least 15 (60KB) to print scalable fonts, and at least 30 for double-byte fonts. The number that follows the S is a decimal number (up to four digits) that specifies the size in 4 KB blocks to assign to the smooth scalable font processor. Any value less than the minimum requirement results in the amount assigned to be zero (0), thereby disabling the printing of smooth scalable fonts.
Extended System-Level Command Functions STX K}M Manual Media Calibration (Non-Display Models only) This command causes the printer to save the sampled calibration values as an operator places different portions of label stock within the media sensor. Depending upon the printer model, different front panel LED flash sequences and printer responses (below) will indicate calibration progress and outcome; see the corresponding printer operator manual for LED flash sequences details.
Extended System-Level Command Functions STX KaR Read Data from RFID Tag (Direct Mode – Generic Read/Write Interface) This command instructs the RFID device to read data from the tag and then place that data into a replaceable field. It is expected that the tag transponder will be within the read / write distance of the RFID programming device; otherwise, “Void” will be printed in the text or bar code label field. Syntax: KaRAaaabbbcdee Where: A - Optional – for data in the ASCII format.
Extended System-Level Command Functions STX KaW Write Data to RFID Tag (Direct Mode – Generic Read/Write Interface) This command instructs the RFID device to write data to the tag. It is expected that the tag transponder will be within the read / write distance of the RFID programming device; otherwise, a warning will occur and a warning message (Read / Write Fail) will be displayed.
Extended System-Level Command Functions STX KC Get Configuration This command returns the configuration of the printer. The form of the returned data is similar to that of a printed Configuration Label. This command should be parsed by KEYWORDS, not character positions. Each line is terminated by a CR (0x0d) & LF (0x0a). Syntax: KC Printer response: CONFIGURATION TUE 02:01PM 01AUG2005 PRINTER KEY: 4308-TB10-010327-494 APPLICATION VERSION: 83-2284-06E 06.
Extended System-Level Command Functions STX Kc Configuration Set This command specifies the Power-up Configuration parameter values for the printer and is equivalent to using other system commands followed by the U. This command is intended for easily configuring a custom setup, but NOT for dynamic configuration changes. Configuration commands are examined for differences relative to the current configuration, and have no impact when no differences exist.

Extended System-Level Command Functions Kc Parameter Overviews (AL) Alignment Length – This command, critical for small labels when Label Alignment is set to YES, allows a length (measured from leading edge to leading edge of two successive labels) to be entered. The measured length must be provided to the nearest hundredth of an inch. For very small labels, errors of 0.01” can result in noticeable print variations on the labels between the media sensor and the print head.
Extended System-Level Command Functions (BZ) Buzzer Enable – This command controls the audible signaling device that acknowledges User Interface entries and, if enabled, sounds printer warning and fault conditions.
Extended System-Level Command Functions (CH) Communicated Heat Commands – This command causes the printer to ignore DPL Heat commands; instead, the Heat value is controlled via the menu setting. (CL) Continuous Label Length – See c for command details. (CO) Column Offset – See Cnnnn for command details. (CS) Communicated Speed Commands – This command causes the printer to ignore DPL speed commands; instead, speed values are controlled via the menu setting.
Extended System-Level Command Functions (DR) Delay Rate – This command sets the number of minutes to delay between multiple batch printings of Quick Test Labels. (DS) Double Byte Symbol Set – See y or ySxx for command details. (EM) Input Mode – This command determines the data processing mode: Value Interpretation Input Mode Interpretation 0 DPL Character strings are parsed for standard DPL processing.
Extended System-Level Command Functions (EP) End of Print – This command defines the signal output used to signify the End of Print (EOP) process: Value Units End of Print Interpretation 1 Low Pulse Outputs a low pulse (approximately 30 milliseconds long) following printing. 2 High Pulse Outputs a high pulse (approximately 30 milliseconds long) following printing. 3 Active Low Outputs a logic low (zero) following printing. 4 Active High Outputs a logic high (one) following printing.
Extended System-Level Command Functions (FE) Font Emulation –This command allows font substitution for all internal fonts, allowing a new default font to be defined without changing the host DPL data streams. Selecting a default font that supports a desired character set could match with third party software to print native characters without modifying the PC drivers. In other words, match the PC font with the Printer Font then no interpretation would be required by driver or printer.
Extended System-Level Command Functions Value Units / Interpretation Selection / Definition Increases throughput when bar codes reside near the trailing edge of the label (in the direction of FEED). 3 = Delayed Scan Fault • If unreadable, the fault will occur after the next label prints. • The label immediately following a faulted label is not scanned for errors. L • VOID AND RETRY and REPRINT are automatically disabled; the job can only be cancelled. 4 = Void Retry & Cont.
Extended System-Level Command Functions (GE) GPIO Equipped – This command is used to interface the printer to external controlling devices (see Appendix J): Value Units / Interpretation A Applicator N Disabled V Verifier 2 Applicator2 GPIO Enable Definition Enables the standard applicator mode, de-asserting DRDY as soon as last label starts printing, allowing FEED any time, and not de-asserting DRDY when PAUSED. Disables the GPIO Port. Enables the GPIO Port for a bar code verifier.
Extended System-Level Command Functions (HB) Head Bias – This command instructs the printer to switch the dot zero position, as viewed from the label exit. When dot zero occupies the left-most location on the print head then printing is left justified; and, when dot zero occupies the right-most location, printing is right justified. (HC) Head Cleaning – This command controls the print head cleaning routine.
Extended System-Level Command Functions (IL) Imaging Mode – This command instructs the printer whether to pre-image the label format: Value M S Units / Interpretation Imaging Mode Definition Multiple Label The printer images multiple labels as memory permits, achieving the fastest throughput; however, if time-stamping, the time will reflect the moment the label is imaged rather than when actually printed.
Extended System-Level Command Functions (LE) Legacy Emulation – This command enables the O and f print positioning commands to allow backward compatibility with label formats that were designed for the Allegro® Prodigy®, and Prodigy Plus® (If the printer is DisplayEquipped, also Prodigy Max® emulation). Use causes the printer to ignore Label commands A, M, n, and T. (LR) Label Rotation – This command sets label rotation, allowing formats to be flipped 180 degrees.
Extended System-Level Command Functions (MCC) Module Command – This command adjusts the size of Flash module on the optional Expansion Card according to the table below (see Appendix K for appropriate module details): Value Module Command Units / Interpretation Zxx Where xx = Size: 1 – 7 Mbytes. This is the amount to be allocated to Module Z; any remaining memory will be allocated to Module F. Gxx Where xx = Size: 1 – 56, in 128 Kbytes blocks.

6 Label Formatting Command Functions Introduction The L command switches the printer from the System-Level Processor to the Label Formatting Processor. All commands following the L are interpreted as label formatting commands, and can be used to override default parameter values. Selectable parameter value defaults may be also reassigned via the Setup Menu, as defined in the corresponding Operator’s Manual.
Label Formatting Command Functions A Set Format Attribute This command specifies the type of format operation and remains in effect until another format command is specified or another label format has begun (L). Each label format defaults to Attribute 2 (Transparent Mode). Syntax: An Where: n Sample: L A3 141100001000100DATAMAX 141100001100110DATAMAX E - Is attribute mode 1, 2, 3, or 5; see table below. The default is 1.
Label Formatting Command Functions B Bar Code Magnification This command provides a mechanism to specify bar codes greater than 36 dots (0 - 9, A - Z in the field record). The value is reset to 1 at the start of every label and stays active for the entire label or set to a new value. Syntax: Bnn Where: nn Sample: L D11 B01 1a9305000100030ABCD B03 1a3105000700030ABCD Q0001 E - Is a two digit decimal number indicating the magnification value.
Label Formatting Command Functions c Set Cut by Amount This command is the same as the “:” command except only a two-digit value can be entered. This command allows a predetermined number of labels to be printed before a cut is initiated. 1 to 99 labels may be printed before a cut is made. Syntax: cnn Where: nn Sample L c07 141100001000100SAMPLE LABEL Q0021 E - Is a two-digit number indicating the number of labels to be printed before a cut is performed. The default is one.
Label Formatting Command Functions E Terminate Label Formatting Mode and Print Label This command causes the printer, when the processing Label Formatting commands, to terminate the Label Formatting Mode then generate, print, and feed a label. The label generated will be based on whatever data has been received to that point, even if no printable data has been received. (Other termination commands are “X” and “s”.
Label Formatting Command Functions f Set Present Speed (Non-Display Models only) This command controls the rate at which the present distance is positioned, allowing the media movement to be slowed during “presentation” (the distance traveled after printing is completed to the label stop position). This command is used only within the context of a label format.
Label Formatting Command Functions H Enter Heat Setting This command changes the “on time” of elements of the print head. The default setting is 10 (except in the case of printers with a menu, where the default setting can be changed through the keypad). An increase or decrease in this value results in a change of heat applied by the print head to the media, lightening or darkening the print contrast accordingly.
Label Formatting Command Functions M Select Mirror Mode This command instructs the printer to “mirror” all subsequent print field records, producing fields that are transposed visually. Syntax: M Sample: L 161100003200010 NOT MIRRORED M 161100003000400 MIRRORED E Printed Result: m Set Metric Mode This command sets the printer to measure in metric. When this command is sent, all measurements will be interpreted as metric values, (e.g.
Label Formatting Command Functions P Set Print Speed This command sets a print speed for a label or batch of labels. Syntax: Pa Where: a Sample: L PC 141100001000100LABEL1 E L 141100001000100LABEL2 E - Is a single character representing a speed; see Appendix L for valid ranges. The sample above prints two labels, the first at a speed of 2 inches per second (51 mm per second) and the second at the default setting.
Label Formatting Command Functions Q Set Quantity of Labels to Print This command sets the number of the label copies to be printed. A one to five digit value is allowed, if the command is delimited by a carriage return . This permits host applications to generate label quantity commands without the need to pad leading zeros. (A four-digit command value does not need to be terminated.
Label Formatting Command Functions r Recall Stored Label Format This command is used to retrieve label formats stored on a memory module. Embedding recalled labels, up to 6 levels of nesting, within a recall label is also possible. Syntax: rnn...n Where: nn…n - Is a label name, up to 16 characters in length. The samples below explain different ways to recall and print a label format. (Use W to view a memory module’s directory.
Label Formatting Command Functions S Set Feed Speed This command controls the rate at which the label is moved through non-printed areas. The setting remains unchanged unless another feed speed command is received or until the printer is reset. Syntax: Sa Where: a Sample: L SE 141100001000100LABEL1 E L 1411000010001000LABEL2 E - Is a single alpha character representing a speed; see Appendix L for valid ranges.
Label Formatting Command Functions T Set Field Data Line Terminator This command, intended for use with record types that accept binary data (e.g., PDF417), allows binary control codes (e.g., a carriage return) to be embedded in the printed data by setting an alternate data line terminator. Valid only for the next format record, the terminator then defaults back to the carriage return.
Label Formatting Command Functions Sample 2: Assume printer date is set to January 31, 2013 L tM0001 121100001000100 Expiration Date:D GHI PQ, RSTU E Sample 2 prints: Expiration Date:FEB 28, 2013 Note: When advancing from a day at the end of the month with more days than the adjusted date, the printed date will not be greater than the maximum number of days of the adjusted month.
Label Formatting Command Functions X Terminate Label Formatting Mode This command causes the printer, when in label formatting mode, to immediately switch to the system command mode and generate a label format based on the data received at that point. However, unlike the “E” command, it will not print a label. (Other termination commands are the “E” and “s”.) Syntax: X Sample: L 141100001000100SAMPLE X The sample above will result in a label format, but no label will be printed.
Label Formatting Command Functions z Zero (Ø) Conversion to “0” This command removes the slash zero in fonts 0 to 8, and in the human readable field (if any) of the bar codes A to Z. The command applies only to format records containing those fonts and bar codes, and is effective only for the label format in which it appears. Syntax: z Sample: L z 121100000000000Test0000 E + (>)(() None of the smooth fonts (i.e.
Label Formatting Command Functions Embedding Numeric strings for incrementing may also be embedded between alphabetic characters (e.g., when systems require alphanumeric bar codes with alphabetic prefixes or suffixes). Sample: L 161100000100010AB0001CD + 100 Q0003 E The sample above will print three labels, incrementing 0001 by 1 on each label with AB and CD remaining untouched: AB0001CD, AB0002CD, AB0003CD.
Label Formatting Command Functions Embedding Numeric strings for decrementing may also be embedded between alphabetic characters (e.g., when systems require alphanumeric bar codes with alphabetic prefixes or suffixes). Sample: L 1611000001000101000CD - 100 Q0003 E The sample above will print three labels: 1000CD, 999CD, and 998CD. Note that the pad character is a placeholder for digits removed from the left side in the subtraction process.
Label Formatting Command Functions Special Label Formatting Command Functions Two Special Label Formatting Commands, the S and the T, are entered directly into the data field of label format records. (Do not confuse them with System-Level Commands because the same control character is used.) If alternate control codes are enabled the becomes “~” (hexadecimal 0x7E); see Control Code Command Functions.
Label Formatting Command Functions Sample 2: Assume printer date is set to January 01, 2013 L tD0005 121100001000100 Expiration Date:D GHI PQ, RSTU <<<< E Prints: Expiration Date:JAN 06, 2013 <<<< STX S Recall Global Data and Place in Field This command, when in the format record data field, places data from a specified global register into the data field.

7 Font Loading Command Functions Introduction The commands used for font loading are usually generated by font creation software; however, the assigned font ID number command must be sent to the printer before the font file. All Font Loading Commands begin with (ASCII control character 27 [decimal]). The downloaded font will be stored in the default module (refer to the X command) as file type .dbm.
Font Loading Commands )s###W Font Descriptor This command (typically first data in a font file) contains all of the information about the font contained in the file. Different font generation software will create different length header information, but the initial 64 bytes will remain consistent with the PCL-4 (HP LaserJet II) format. Syntax: )s###Wddd…d Where: ### - Is the number of bytes of font descriptor data from 1 to 3 ASCII decimal digits. dd…d - Is the descriptor.
8 Generating Label Formats Introduction This section explains the use of the different fields in a print format record. Format Record Commands Received label format data (see example below) is processed by the printer sequentially, left to right and top to bottom.
Generating Label Formats The first line in the sample format (Table 8-1) is the System-Level Command directing the printer to begin label formatting. (Other System-Level Commands may precede the L for printer setup.) Lines 2, 14, and 15 are Label Formatting Commands. Line 15 is the exit and print command. The remaining lines (3-13) are print format records, explained in this section. A record is a data string that contains the information to be printed on the label(s).
Generating Label Formats The record (with spaces added for readability) conforms to the following fixed field format.
Generating Label Formats The Header Fields Each of the fields in the record header is generally described below. Please reference the detailed descriptions under Record Structure Types for variations. The field name titles of the following paragraphs are preceded with a reference letter from Table 8-3. All characters sent to the printer within the header fields are ASCII, alphanumeric.
Generating Label Formats c: Width Multiplier Values 1-9, A-Z, and a-z represent multiplication factors from 1 – 61, respectively. For human-readable fonts, the width multiplier represents the number of times the selected font dot tables are multiplied and has no effect on the character height. For bar codes, this character specifies the wide bar width or ratio at a resolution that is dependent upon the printer model. See Appendix F for default values.
Generating Label Formats gggg: Column Position This field is a horizontal coordinate that determines how far to the right of “home position” the data will be printed. Appendix G lists the maximum values of the gggg field. hhhh: Optional Scalable Font Height The height of a scalable font can be specified in two ways: points or dots. To specify the height in points the first character of the field is a “P” followed by the number of points, 004 to 999.
Generating Label Formats 1: Internal Bitmapped Fonts This record type is used for internal bitmapped fonts (see Appendix C, Tables C-1 through C-5). When a 0 through 8 is entered in field b, then the height field eee is not used. The bitmapped fonts include 8 different fonts (see Appendix C). The character mapping for these fonts is shown in Appendix A, or a subset thereof. Field Valid Inputs Meaning a 1, 2, 3 and 4 Rotation b 0 to 8 (see Appendix C).

Generating Label Formats Lines and Boxes Lines and boxes are drawn by values that determine column and row starting position, length, width, and wall thickness of the line or box (see Appendix K). Depending on the printer’s mode, all measurements are interpreted as inches/100 or millimeters/10 (see m). The data field jj…j is used to describe the line or box dimensions.
Generating Label Formats Polygons Polygons are created by defining the positions of the corners, specifying a number of data points that represent the vertices of the object, which can range from a simple line (two points), or a triangle (three points), to any free-form outline. Polygons may be filled with a variety of different patterns. All row/column specifiers are interpreted as inches/100 or millimeters/10 depending on the printer mode, (see m).

Generating Label Formats Advanced Format Attributes Two different advanced formatting attributes extend the text presentation capabilities. The first format attribute allows a set of label format records to make a state change that modifies the font attributes of any following DPL text records. The second format attribute provides a means of inserting text and font formatting commands directly into the DPL data stream via a command delimiter structure.

Appendix C Available Fonts – Sizes, References, and Samples All character bitmapped fonts available on the printers are described in this section. Each font has a name (Font ID) associated with it for use in programming. Use the Font Number (in the left column of Table C-1) in field b of the Format Record header to cause the printer to use the corresponding font. Fonts 0 through 8 use the slash zero (Ø) conventions for distinguishing between the zero and the alphabetic O.
Appendix C – Available Fonts Font sizes are dependent upon the print head resolution of the printer used. The tables below contain a listing of the font sizes by resolution with dimensions given in dots. Font Font Font Font Font Font Font Font Font Font 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Height Width Spacing Point Size 7 13 18 27 36 52 64 32 28 5 7 10 14 18 18 32 15 15 1 2 2 2 3 3 4 5 5 2.5 4.6 6.4 9.6 12.8 18.4 22.7 11.3 9.

Appendix C – Available Fonts Internal Bitmapped and Smooth Font Samples The identifying number is used in the Format Record header field b to cause the printer to use the corresponding font. The Euro currency character ( ) has been added to Fonts 0 – 6. 0: Identifies a 96-character alphanumeric font, uppercase and lowercase. 1: Identifies a 145-character uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric font that includes desenders and ascenders.
Appendix C – Available Fonts 5: Identifies a 62-character alphanumeric upper case font. 6: Identifies a 62-character alphanumeric uppercase font. 7: Identifies a font that prints OCR-A, size I. 8: Identifies a font that prints OCR-B, size III.
Appendix C – Available Fonts 9: Identifies the Internal CG Triumvirate font. Point sizes are selected by the number in the Format Record header eee height field; see Table C-6.
Appendix D Reset Codes The most common transmitted error codes are: Uppercase “R” This code is sent every time the printer is turned “On,” signaling a hardware reset. Uppercase “T” This code signals a software reset. A software reset is made by sending the command sequence to the printer or by performing a reset using the front panel keys. Lowercase “v” There is an input buffer overflow situation, caused when an overflow of data is sent to the printer.

Appendix G Bar Code Details Unless otherwise noted all bar codes depicted in this section were produced using the ratio/module values of 00 and height fields of 000 to cause the printer to produce symbols using default bar widths and height fields. See Appendix F for the default values. A: Code 3 of 9 Valid Characters: 0-9, A-Z, - . * $ / + % and the space character. Variable Length. Valid bar widths: The expected ratio of wide to narrow bars can range from 2:1 to 3:1.
Appendix G – Bar Code Details C: UPC-E Valid Characters: 0-9 Length: Seven digits. If the user provides six digits, the printer will compute the checksum. If the user provides the checksum, the printer will check that it matches the expected checksum. If it does not match, the printer will print out all zeros and the expected checksum. Valid bar widths: The fourth character of record is the width of the narrow bar in dots.
Appendix G – Bar Code Details This printer supports the Code 128 subsets A, B, and C. The printer can be selected to start on any code subset and switch to another within the data stream. The default code subset is B; otherwise, the first character (A, B, C) of the data field determines the subset. Subset switching is only performed in response to code switch command. These commands are placed in the data to be encoded at appropriate locations; see Table G-1.
Appendix G – Bar Code Details Control Codes: By sending these control codes, control characters can be encoded into a Code 128 Subset A bar code (e.g.
Appendix G – Bar Code Details G: EAN-8 Valid Characters: 0-9 Length: 8 digits. If the user provides 7 digits, the printer will compute the checksum. If the user provides the checksum, the printer will check that it matches the expected checksum. If it does not match, the printer will print all zeros and the expected checksum. Valid bar widths: The fourth character of record is the width of the narrow bar in dots.

Appendix N Image Loading The printer will accept four types of image files: .BMP, .IMG, .PCX and a special Datamax 7bit ASCII file (as defined in this section). Use of the Datamax 7-bit ASCII format will require at least twice as much data transmission time as the other formats, (see I). The Datamax ASCII image file format is made up of a set of records with identical formats, each representing a dot row of the image; a terminator follows the last of these records.

Appendix O UPC-A and EAN-13: Variable Price/Weight Bar Codes The EAN/UPC standard allows for an additional checksum to be generated in the middle of the bar code based on the data. This is used when the price or weight of an item is embedded into the bar code data (commonly used in the food industry). For the printer to generate this checksum, a “V” must be placed in the data stream in the position the checksum is requested.

Appendix S RFID Overview The printer has two different operational modes for the programming of RFID tags: Direct, and Label Formatting. The RFID programming data can be entered in one of two formats: ASCII, or Hexadecimal. Data in the ASCII format is entered conventionally, while data in the hexadecimal format is entered as the hexadecimal-pairs equivalent of the ASCII character(s).
Appendix S – RFID Overview UHF Interface This interface allows the Host Application to perform specific operations pertaining to UHF-type tags. Since these commands override the printer’s database by interfacing directly to the tag module, knowledge of UHF protocols and their operation is required. See the KuR and KuW commands for details.
Appendix S – RFID Overview Field Valid Inputs Meaning Operation to perform, where: 1 = Read (report to host) 2 = Write 3 = Write w/ Read back and Verify a 1, 2, and 3 bbb Wnx c 0 Not Used, should be 0 d 0 Not Used, should be 0 RFID Hexadecimal Operation, where no “n” is an implied 1. HF: Lock after write, where: x = 0 – Use printer setup to determine if lock is performed. x = 1 – Lock after write.
Appendix S – RFID Overview Example 1: The following example encodes an HF tag , starting at block 001, with “Datamax writes RFID best”: L D11 2W1x0000000010000446174616D61782077726974657320524649442062657374 E Example 2: The following format encodes a UHF Gen2 tag with EPC data “112233445566778899AABBCC” and user memory data “1111222233334444”.
