Line Mode
Line Mode allows the printer to respond to raw data from a device that may not be
able to send a complete DPL file. In Line Mode raw data is directed into replaceable
fields in formats or templates stored in the printer.
The printer can be placed in Line Mode via the front panel, as explained in the
printer's Operating Manual, or by using the <STX>KcEM command (see
System Level Commands
<STX>KcEM0 will enter standard DPL Mode; and,
l
<STX>KcEM1 will enter Line Mode.

Note: A reset will follow a change of mode. While in Line Mode, the printer will also respond
to DPL commands; however, special download types (such as firmware updates)
should only be sent when the printer is in DPL mode.
Line Mode Specifics
Raw data sent to the printer must be terminated by a carriage return [0x0D].
l
The host timeout setting (see
l
ing period between data sent. If the timeout value is reached, the label will print
using the data received before timeout occurred.
A form feed command [0x0C] may be sent to terminate processing and print the
l
data that has been received.
Issuing the <STX>Ennnn command (where nnnn represents the print count), allows
l
quantities of the same label to be printed.
The printer must have a template program loaded. A template is a standard DPL file
l
that ends in a store format command, instead of the print command (E). The tem-
plate name must be either DMXFRM or DMXFRMxx. Using DMXFRMxx, allows mul-
tiple templates to be available.
Sample Template 1
The following sample uses DMXFRM as the template name and stores it to the default
module. (The default module is printer model dependent.)
