Stx Kd Database Configuration - Datamax E-Class Mark II Programmer's Manual

STX KD Database Configuration
This command, stored in Flash memory for future power-ups, controls the printer's
environment and operates as a pseudo DIP switch. The <STX>Kc command is
recommended for use over <STX>KD.
Syntax:
Where:
Sample:
•
Ignore Host Distance (see below) disregards <STX>O and <STX>f commands (in case

host software sends values that may be inappropriate). Use the <STX>KD command or
the Setup Menu to enable this feature.
•
This command will result in a system reset for the EX2.
