Print Commands

You can use Print commands to pass data to formats and print labels.

When you enter data into a format for printing, the printer uses a field

pointer to designate the field in the format where the data should print. If

you choose a new format, the field pointer automatically points to the

lowest numbered data entry field and continues to point to that field until

you select a different field or format. If you select a field by using the

<CR> or <ESC>F command, new data entered into the field overwrites

any data already existing in the field.

For help downloading Print commands to the printer, see “Sending IPL

message character <STX> and follow it with the end of message character

<ETX>. The next command in the message terminates all Print mode

commands. The command separator (<NUL> or <LF>) is optional

between commands, but is necessary to separate commands from data. For

example, to separate the <ESC>F command from data, type:

<ESC>F4<NUL>data
