System-Level Commands

14 E-Class DPL Programmer’s Manual

STX e Select Edge Sensor

This command enables transmissive (see-through) sensing for top-of-form detection of die-cut, and

holed or notched media. This Media Sensor will detect a minimum gap of 0.1 inches (2.54 mm)

between labels (see the Operator’s Manual for media requirements). Use the <STX>O command to

adjust the print position. This is the printer default setting at power-up or reset.

Syntax:

<STX>e

 Note: This command is ignored when <STX>cnnnn is issued with a non-zero value for nnnn.

STX F Form Feed

This commands the printer to form feed to the next start of print.

Syntax:

<STX>F

Printer response: The printer will form feed.

 Note: Following a reset, if the length of the first label fed is less than the label offset value

(defined by the <STX>O command) the printer will advance past that label until a top-of-

form is detected, or until the offset is reached,skipping labels as necessary, unless Label

Alignment is enabled.

STX f Set Form Stop Position (Backfeed Command)

This sets the stop position of the printed label, allowing the label to stop at a point past the start-of-

print position. When the next label format is sent, the printer motor reverses direction to retract the

media to the start-of-print position. If quantities of more than one label are requested, the printer will

operate without backfeeding. A backfeed will then only occur when printing has stopped for a few

seconds.

Syntax:

<STX>fnnn

Where:

nnn

- Is a three-digit distance from the Media Sensor, in inches/100 or

mm/10. This distance is independent of the start-of-print position

(<STX>O), yet it must be greater than the start-of-print position to

take effect.

Sample:

<STX>f230

The sample sets a stop position distance of 230 (2.3 inches from the Media Sensor’s eye).

STX G Print Last Label Format

This command prints a previously formatted label and restarts a canceled batch job following the last

processed label. This is used when there is a label format in the buffer. The <STX>E command is

used to enter the quantity. (If the <STX>E command is not used only one label will print.)

Syntax:

<STX>G

1 2 ... 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 ... 175 176
