Command Structure
<ESC>CSa
a = Designates the speed selection
2 =50 mm/s (2"/ps)
3 =75 mm/s (3"/ps)
Example: <ESC>CS3
Placement: Must be placed immediately after <ESC>A
and immediately before <ESC>Z in its own
separate data stream
Default: As previously set in the printer configuration
Command Function
To specify a unique print speed through software for a parti-
cular label. This allows flexibility in finding the best perfor-
mance and quality for the particular label format, media, and
ribbon. All subsequent labels will print at this speed unless
the speed is changed with this command.
Input to Printer
<ESC>A
<ESC>CS3
<ESC>Z
Printer Output
There is no printer output for this command. It sets the print
speed of the printer to 3 inches per second.
Special Notes
1. This becomes the new setting in the printer configuration
for all subsequent print jobs, unless changed. The setting
is stored in non-volatile memory and is not affected by
cycling the power.
