Chapter 1— Introduction to IPL Commands
8 IPL Programmer’s Reference Manual
To enter Program mode on any printer
• Type this command:
<STX><ESC>P<ETX>
Send this command every time that you download formats, even if you
think the printer is already in Program mode. If the printer is already in
Program mode, it ignores this command.
To enter Print mode on any printer
• Type this command:
<STX>R<ETX>
Send this command before each set of data or as your last format
command. If the printer is already in Print mode, it ignores this
command.
Note: The R command may be treated as data if the data to the printer
does not include a <CAN> or field pointer to clear the fields.
