Sample:
The sample places the string "DMX" into the next available global register (A), and then line 4 is
effectively replaced by the data from global register A.
STX T Print Time and Date
This command, using string characters and markers, allows time and date data to be selected and
retrieved from the printer's internal clock. In addition, the <STX>T may be preceded by data to be
printed/encoded, and/or the string may now be terminated by an <STX> command and then followed
by more data terminated by a <CR>. The string characters/markers are not printed; instead, the
printed label will show a corresponding print value.
Note: When using substitution, you must ensure the converted string produces valid characters for the
selected bar code / font.
