Print Mode Commands

The printer must be in Print mode to perform any of the following:
• Pass data to formats
• Print labels
• Change printer configuration
When you enter data into a format for printing, the printer uses a field pointer
to designate the field in the format where the data should print. If a new
format is chosen, the field pointer automatically points to the lowest numbered
data entry field and continues to point to that field unless a different field or
format is selected. If you select a field by using the <ESC>F command, new
data entered into the field overwrites any data already existing in the field.
You may send Print mode commands through the methods described in
Chapter 6, "Designing Labels and Using Commands." The command string to
enter Print mode from Program mode or Test and Service mode is:
<STX>R<ETX>
Note: Each string of commands must be preceded by the start of message character
<STX>, and followed by the end of message character <ETX>. All Print mode
commands are terminated by the next command in the message. The command
separator (<NUL> or <LF>) is optional between commands, but is necessary to
separate commands from data. For example, to separate the <ESC>F command from
data, type:
<ESC>F4<NUL>data
The following command descriptions explain the print commands that are
effective when the printer is in Print mode. The commands are listed in
alphabetical order according to the command description.
