^A ^D Command
XX 36 Adjust Contrast Base: Use this command to adjust/calibrate the default contrast.
Since the non-permanent ^D35 command is used to control the darkness in a
format file, the ^D36 command is offered to correct any contrast differences that
may exist between different printers while using the same format file. This
command is non-volatile and only needs to be sent once. Do not include this
command inside a format file as it will also change the base print contrast of every
other format printed. Use the ^D35 command to make temporary adjustments inside
a format file. This command has a range of 10 to 200 in increments of 1.
5.3.2 PRINTING COMMANDS
The following commands initiate label printing or define the number of labels to be printed.
^A ^D Command
3 Print Command: Prints a single label or starts the printing of a batch of labels.
This is usually the last command in a format file. (Equivalent to ^C)
11 Print a Test Label: Prints a label with diagonal lines that is useful in determining
the condition of wear of the print head. (Equivalent to ^K)
12 Print a Blank Label: (Equivalent to ^L)
XX 73 Load copies count: Tells the printer to print a group of labels. Will not increment
serial numbers (use a ^D75). This can, however, be used in conjunction with ^D75
(load label count) to allow duplicate labels to be made inside a batch. For example,
to make a batch of three serial number labels before incrementing the serial
number. The batch of labels will be printed when a ^D3 is executed. Therefore, this
must precede a ^D3 command. Example usage: ^A20^D73^D35 - Prints 20
identical labels.
1 74 Infinity Print: Prints a batch of labels but will continue to print until the printer is
turned off or paused. This command is most useful in tag/tear or peel-and-dispense
modes. ^A1 activates this mode. Can be used with serial numbers. Example
usage: ^A1^D74^D35 - prints until printer is turned off or paused.
