System-Level Command Functions
Class Series Programmer’s Manual 23
STX n Set Printer to Imperial Mode
This command sets the printer to interpret measurements as inch values (e.g., <STX>c0100 will
equal 1.00 inch). The printer defaults to this mode.
Syntax:
<STX>n
STX O Set Start of Print (SOP) Position
This command sets the point to begin printing relative to the top-of-form (the label’s edge as detected
by the Media Sensor). The printer will feed from the top-of-form to the value specified in this
command to begin printing.
This value operates independently of the <STX>f command.
Non-Display Models: The printer Options Control must be set (via the menu) to ‘Host’ for this
command to have effect.
Display-Equipped Models: If SOP Emulation is set to ‘enabled’ (via the menu), this command sets
the point where printing starts, emulating the selected legacy printer’s distance, as measured between
the media sensor and the print head burn line. In addition, regardless of the SOP Emulation setting,
the start of print position can be fine-tuned via the menu: Menu Mode / Print Control / Custom
Adjustments / Row Adjust.
Syntax:
<STX>Onnnn
Where: nnnn - Is a four-digit offset value in inches/100 or mm/10. The
“zero” setting is the default value, and settings below 50 are
adjusted back to the default value.
Non-Display Models: the default setting is 0220 in Imperial
Mode (0559 in Metric Mode).
Display-Equipped Models: the default setting is ‘Off’ and
the printer assumes the natural start of print position.
Sample (non-display
models):
<STX>O0300
The above sample sets a start of print position of 3.0 inches (unless in Metric Mode, see <STX>m).
Sample (display-
equipped models):
<STX>O0210
The above sample will begin printing 0.1 inch closer to the leading edge of the label if the 220
(Allegro) SOP Emulation was selected, or 1.0 inch farther away from the leading edge if 110
(ProdPlus) SOP Emulation was selected.
