Immediate Commands <Soh; Summary Of Immediate Commands; Reset (Soh #) - Brady TLS PC Link Programmer's Manual

Immediate Commands <SOH>
When the printer receives an immediate command it will stop whatever it is
doing and perform that command. After the command is complete, the printer
will resume the operation it interrupted. Immediate commands are turned off on
power up, and can be turned on with the System-Level Command "Enable SOH
Commands (STX H)". When Immediate Commands are enabled, they may be
issued at any time. Because of this, it is necessary to disable immediate
commands whenever sending image files that contain 8-bit data. The image data
in these files may contain an immediate command start code that will be
misinterpreted. These can be disabled using immediate command <SOH> D.
Immediate commands consist of:
1. Attention Character
2. Command Character
3. Parameters (if any)

Summary of Immediate Commands

The following immediate commands are discussed in this section. Refer to the
