Immediate Commands

The following command set is effective in any of the operational modes of the
4630 or 4830 printer. Use the commands in this set to query the printer for
status and print job information. Unlike other commands that the printer stores
in the data buffer and executes in the order received, the printer executes
immediate commands when it receives them, regardless of printer mode.

Abort Print Job

Purpose: Stops batch printing.
Syntax:
<EM>
Notes: The printer sets the remaining quantity and batch counts to 1. Other
commands remaining in the buffer will continue to be executed.

Error Code, Request

Purpose: Solicits error codes from the printer.
Syntax:
<BEL>
Notes: The most recent error code is sent back in the form of an ASCII number. The
error code represents a command syntax error or a printer RAM usage error. If
no errors have occurred since powering on the printer, the printer sends a zero.

Label and Gap Length, Transmit

Purpose: Transmits the label and gap length as measured by the number of 5 mil
increments.
Syntax:
<ESC>L
Notes: Label length refers to the length of the label currently being processed. If the
label is longer than the distance between the label sensor and the printhead, the
printer transmits the length of the previous label.
If continuous stock is selected, the printer transmits the length defined by the
<SI>L command (default is 1000). The gap length is 0.
