This section describes how and why to use the Set / Get / Do (SGD) commands. It also
provides an example of a typical command structure.
SGD commands are commands that allow you to configure all printers that are running
supported firmware versions. The printer performs the specified function immediately after
receiving the command. The commands are:
• setvar
• getvar
•do
setvar Command
Setvar commands:
• are used to configure printer settings to specific values by setting them in the printer
• must be terminated by a space character or a CR/ LF (0x0D, 0x0A)
getvar Command
Getvar commands:
• are used to get the current value of the printer settings
• must be terminated by a space character or CR/LF (0x0D, 0x0A)
The printer responds with the printer setting of “?” if:
