Of-Form) or ^D311 command while holding the button in continuously feeds media until the
button is released.
1 Short press = reprint; button held = continuous feed (default)
2 Short press = form feed; button held = continuous feed
3 Short press = ">BUTTON 1 TAPPED<" response;
button held = continuous feed
4 Short press = ">BUTTON 1 TAPPED<";
button held = ">BUTTON 1 HELD<"
5 Short press = Initiates a TOF (^D311); button held = continuous feed
2.4.7 ^D550)n
This command used to select among the available response sets the printer offers. The
response sets determine how the printer will react to commands, functions, and enquiry
responses. Issuing a ^Dxx command without a parameter will report the commands current
setting regardless of the selected response set. Descriptive text is reported by issuing the
question mark character ("?") after a ^Dxx command and is available in all response sets.
Example: Issuing the "^D550)? <CR>" command sequence would cause the printer to
report text that describes the commands current setting as well as the commands operation
and valid settings.
Refer to the following sample dialog:
^D550 n -- Selects response mode
1 - TEXT -- Text responses (default)
2 - BYTE -- Byte-encoded responses
9 - VERBOSE -- Text responses with command help text
and confirmations of settings
Current setting is: 1.
Use a selection index to change the setting.
Text: If text responses are selected, the printer responds with simple text responses to
enquiries and error conditions. Commands that are issued without an argument will return
that commands current setting without descriptive text while in the text mode response set.
The printer is capable of multiple line responses so the final response is terminated with a
"CR LF" or "0x0D 0x0A" sequence to assist in programming. The only response that is
automatically generated is the >POWERED DOWN< response and occurs when power is
removed from the printer.
Byte: When the byte response set is selected, the printer returns all responses in binary
form. Commands that are issued without an argument will return that commands current
setting without descriptive text while in the byte mode response set. The printer is capable
of multiple line responses so the final response is terminated with the ^Z or 0x1A character
to assist in programming. The only response that is automatically generated is the
>POWERED DOWN< or 0xFF response and occurs when power is removed from the
printer.
Verbose: If verbose responses are selected, the printer will include elaborate text help
about commands when that command is issued without an argument, a summary of any
