Print Quantity - SATO CL408 Programming Reference Manual

PRINT QUANTITY

FUNCTION
To specify the total quantity of labels to print for a given print job.
FORMAT
<ESC>Qaaaaaa
Place just preceding <ESC>Z, unless <ESC>~ exists, then preceding that command. This
command must be present in every print job.
EXAMPLE <ESC>A
<ESC>H0100<ESC>V0100<ESC>WB1SATO
<ESC>Q3
<ESC>Z
OUTPUT
Three labels containing the data "SATO" will be printed.
NOTES
To cancel a print job, turn off the printer or send the <ESC>CAN code if using the Bi-Com mode. Multi-
Buffer jobs can be cleared with the Clear Print Job (<ESC>*) and Memory command.
When used with the Sequential Numbering (<ESC>F) command, the Print Quantity value should be
equal to the total number of labels to be printed.
If a Print Quantity is not specified, the printer will not print a label.
For this command, leading zeroes do not have to be entered. The command "Q1" is equivalent to
"Q000001".
