Serial Number Commands - Microcom 424 Operator's Manual

Chapter 5
When using media that contains a black line for the registration mark, first execute the
^A3^D47<CR> command sequence before issuing the auto-size command or the results
may be invalid.
^A ^D COMMAND
39 Auto-size:
0 Clears the use of auto-size values set by issuing the ^A1^D39<CR>.
1 Uses the values obtained for header variables instead of what is specified in
the format file's header.
2 Automatically sizes the label and displays to the terminal screen the values for
the format header.
3 Same as ^A2^D39<CR>, but the values will be printed on the media.
5 Diagnostic Mode that steps the motor while displaying the readings from the
GAP detectors to determine the media's proper ^D91 setting. This is also
referred to as "tick-tick" mode.

Serial Number Commands

The following commands, ^D80 through ^D89, are used for the serial number function
commands of the printer. The printer can increment or decrement any single serial number
on the label by any amount. If the format contains more than one serial number, then all
serial number fields can only increment or decrement by a value of one. Single and Multiple
serial number commands cannot be used on the same format. Please note that the ^D57
command clears most of the serial number commands. Therefore, all serial number
commands should be placed after the ^D56 command or just prior to the ^D3 command.
The following two commands are valid for both single and multiple serial number functions:
^A ^D COMMAND
80 Clears Commands 86, 88, 89.
81 Disable Serial Number Function: This command disables both single and
multiple serial number functions.
The next three commands deal with the single serial number functions:
^A ^D COMMAND
XX 84 Load Text String Number to Increment/Decrement: Instructs the printer
which text string number to increment or decrement. The ^Axx value
determines which of the text strings will be used for incrementing or
decrementing.
XX 85 Load Increment/Decrement Step Value: The single serial number functions
increment or decrement by this value. ^Axx is the amount of increment or
decrement.
