Formatting Label Data - Intermec EasyCoder 3400d User Manual

Twinax Interface
Example: The control character to clear format data is represented by the
mnemonic "CAN". To clear data out of image RAM, send CAN to the twinax
interface in the following format:
Some control character mnemonics, such as "FF", are only two letters in length.
The mnemonic "FF" advances the printer media to the next start-of-print point.
Send "FF" to the twinax interface in the following format:

Formatting label data

All data sent to the twinax interface for printing must begin with <STX> and
end with <ETX>. Any printer data not sent with these beginning and ending
control character mnemonics is not printed.
Note: The twinax interface uses the <STX> and <ETX> delimiters to determine where
the printer commands begin and end. Do not enter a semicolon (;) after <STX> and
<ETX>.
Also, all data sent to the twinax interface for printing must be a valid command
or a printable character. The printer ignores invalid commands and data; it
substitutes a default value whenever possible, skips to the next valid command,
and continues to print.
Example: The message below causes the printer to print the word "DATA".
The <ETB> control character mnemonic enables the printer to print the label:
The maximum print line handled by the IBM 5256 printer is 132 characters long.
Your Intermec printer with the twinax interface can handle a maximum of 512
characters in one message.
