Class Series Programmer’s Manual 25
STX q Clear Module
This command clears the selected Flash or DRAM module. If a module is corrupted during normal
operations (identifiable when the printer responds with a ‘No Modules Available’ message to a
<STX>W
command), it must be cleared. All stored data will be destroyed.
Syntax: <STX>qa
Where:
a
- Memory module designator, see Appendix K.
Sample: <STX>qA
The sample clears memory module A.
 Notes: (1) If a module directory intermittently returns the message ‘No Modules Available’ or if data
continuously becomes corrupt with the write protect switch on, the module may be at the end of its
service life. Before, however, concluding that a module is defective, cycle the printer’s power and
test the module.
(2) E-Class models: Some Flash Memory Expansion options must have Write Enable jumpers
installed to perform this command.
STX R Ribbon Saver On/Off
(Display-Equipped Models only)
This command enables the operation of the optional Ribbon Saver. It is the only command used to
control the Ribbon Saver. Its operation is continuous when enabled. The printer must be set to
thermal transfer (ribbon) printing mode then, during operation, the Ribbon Saver engages
automatically, lifting when the minimum amount of label white space is exceeded.
Syntax: <STX>Rx
Where:
x
- Y - Enabled (Default = Menu selection.)
N - Disabled
Sample: <STX>RY
The sample will turn the ribbon saver on.
 Note: This command is ignored on units not equipped with the ribbon saver option.
