When printing large batches of labels, it is useful to be able to stop
printing, for example, if an error is detected. You can stop printing
via any serial communication channel.
Two commands allow you to issue a BREAK command:
• BREAK specifies an individual break interrupt character for each
serial communication channel
• BREAK ON/OFF enables/disables break interrupt and deletes the
break character for the corresponding devices.
BREAK <device>,<break char.>
<device> = 1
<device> = 4
<break char.>
BREAK <device> ON | OFF
<device>
Default:
The parameters in SETUP mode determine how the printer works.
There are three ways to change the printer's setup:
• Setup strings
• Setup files
• Bar Code Wand
The various setup parameters are described in the EasyCoder 301
Installation and Operation manual.
Setup Strings
Setup strings allow you to change individual setup parameters di-
rectly from the host:
SETUP "<setup string>"
<setup string>
