Pass-Through Mode

The pass-through mode is similar to the stacked printers mode.
The only difference is that the command "!Y93" is used. When
connecting to another device than an Datamax printer, always
use the "!Y93" command.
That is because the "!Y92 <n>" command is converted to "!Y92
<n-1>" when forwarded to the next printer. This command may be
harmful to the device.
Example
A barcode reader is connected to COM2. The host first reads
data from the barcode reader and then prints a layout with that
data.
