OKIPOS X400 PROGRAMMING GUIDE

INTRODUCTION
This section presents the commands that are used with the OKIPOS X400 printer to produce labels with logos,
bar codes, and alphanumeric data. The commands listed include all revisions of firmware.

The Oki Data PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
A programming language for a printer is a familiar concept to most programmers. It is a group of commands
that are designed to use the internal intelligence of the printer. The commands, which are referred to as SATO
Command Codes, contain non-printable ASCII characters (such as <STX>, <ETX>, <ESC>) and printable
characters. These commands must be assembled into an organized block of code to be sent as one data stream to
the printer, which in turn interprets the command codes and generate the desired label output. The programmer
is free to use any programming language available to send the data to the printer.
The command codes used based upon "Escape" (1B hexadecimal) sequences. Typically there are four types of
command sequences:
<ESC>{Command}
These commands generally tell the printer to perform a specific action, like "clear the memory".
<ESC>{Command} {data}
Commands with this format tell the printer to perform a specific action which is dependent upon the following
data, like "print X labels", where the value for X is contained in the data.
<ESC>{Command} {Parameter}
