Stx E Select Edge Sensor; Stx F Form Feed; Stx F Set Form Stop Position (Backfeed) - Datamax E-Class Mark II 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 (notched) media. This sensor will detect a minimum gap of 0.1 inches
(2.5 mm) between labels (see the Operator's Manual for media requirements). This is
the default setting.
Syntax:

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:
Printer response:
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. Backfeed will
then only occur when printing has stopped for a few seconds.
Non-Display Models: Option Control must be set via the printer menu to "Host" for this
command to have effect.
Display-Equipped Models: This command is not honored; see <STX>Kf and <STX>Kc.

System-Level Command Functions
<STX>e
<STX>F
The printer will form feed.
<STX>fnnn
- Is a three-digit distance from the Media Sensor, in
nnn
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.
<STX>f230
The sample above sets a stop position distance of 230 (2.3 inches
from the Media Sensor's eye).
