When you enter data into a format for printing, the printer uses a field pointer
to designate the field in the format where the data should print. If a new format
is chosen, the field pointer automatically points to the lowest numbered data
entry field and will continue to point to that field unless a different field or
format is selected. If a selected field already contains data, it will be overwritten
by the new data. If the pointer is pointing to the same field that just accepted
data, the new data will be concatenated to the previously entered data.
You can send Print mode commands through the methods described in
Chapter 5. The command string to enter Print mode from Program mode or
Test and Service mode is:
<STX>R<ETX>
Note: Each string of commands must be preceded by the start of message character
<STX>, and followed by the end of message character <ETX>. All Print mode
commands are terminated by the next command in the message. The command
separator (<NUL> or <LF>) is optional between commands, but is necessary to
separate commands from data.
The following command descriptions explain the print commands that are
effective when the printer is in Print mode. The commands are listed in
alphabetical order according to the command description.
