Code 39 Prefix Character, Define
Purpose: Defines the prefix for a Code 39 field. The prefix is only valid for Code 39
fields.
Syntax: p[n1][n2][n3][n4];
Printers:
Printer Default Values for n Notes
All No prefix
A to Z
(uppercase
only) and 0 to
9
Enter the prefix after you select Code 39. For
example, enter c0,3;pABC4; rather than
pABC4;c0,3;.
When you enter the @ character as n1, it
clears all prefixes. Prefix characters do not
appear in the interpretive field.
Command Tables, Load
Purpose: Downloads a command table, with t as the command table identifier. This
command table identifier is followed by the nibblized command entries
(c1-cn) to be loaded into the table. The printer expects two hex digits for
every entry in the table.
Syntax: C[t], [command 1], [command 2], ..., [command n]
t is the command table identifier.
Printers:
Printer Default Values for t Notes
All except the
EasyCoder
F4, PF2i,
PF4i, PM4i,
and 7421
N/A
0 = Print mode commands
1 = Escape print commands
2 = Shift print commands
3 = Status response
4 = Protocol characters
Data must be nibblized
ASCII characters ranging
from 0 to 9 and A to F.
Notes: New commands become effective after you reset the printer or turn the
power off and back on. For help, see Appendix D, “User-Defined Interface
Tables.”
To change an entry in the table, you must send the entire table to the
printer as a string of ASCII characters in hexadecimal form. Any entry that
you do not redefine retains its old value. To modify only a few commands,
send the <ESC>Z command, capture the output, modify it, and send it
back to the printer.
