Chapter 5 Printer Commands
5.3

SENDING ^D PRINTER COMMANDS

Unless other-wise specified, these commands are entered by sending a ^DXX where XX is the
command number. It is followed by a carriage return or another control code. Some commands
load data or control numbers and are preceded by a ^AXX, where XX represents the data or
control number. Unless otherwise specified, command codes should precede or follow the
actual format layout. They should be placed before the ^D57 or just before the print command
^D3.
All commands not listed in 5.3.1 (the dip switches and non-volatile commands section) are not
retained when the printer is turned off and if desired, must be sent again upon power-up.
When possible, the following commands are grouped by function. See the quick reference
command summary in Appendix D for a listing by number.
Example of Command usage:
^A3^D75^D3  (This sequence will print a batch of three labels).
5.3.1

SOFTWARE DIP SWITCHES AND NON-VOLATILE COMMANDS

The following commands are different from the other printer commands in that they are stored
in non-volatile memory and configure the machine upon power-up. Once sent to the printer,
they do not need to be sent again.
The following commands are loaded on power-up. Although they can be set, they will not be
used until the printer has been restarted. The printer will not use these settings until this is
done.
