Programming Rules
•
Use blank spaces exactly as shown in the command descriptions, examples
and syntax. Blank spaces are the delimiters between parameters. Omitting a
necessary space may cause incorrect programming or a command recogni-
tion failure.
•
Do not send extraneous control characters to the printer.
•
End every command line with a line feed or a carriage return and line feed.
•
All of the VARIABLE ETHERNET commands discussed in this document
require a special header line, VARIABLE READ, VARIABLE WRITE, VARIABLE
ETHERNET RESET and an END statement as shown in the following format:
! 0 0 0 0
VARIABLE READ
VARIABLE ETHERNET ...
VARIABLE WRITE
VARIABLE ETHERNET RESET
END
Note:
VARIABLE READ and VARIABLE WRITE commands are discussed in
the Programmer’s Guide.
•
An indented second command line indicates a continuation of the previ-
ous line and should not include a carriage return but only a space between
parameters, for example:
VARIABLE ETHERNET FIRMWARE 195-113-217 V2.17
/tftpboot/195113.217
•
Enter all VARIABLE ETHERNET commands in uppercase letters.
•
Place any VARIABLE ETHERNET commands immediately after the header
line in the label format file.
•
Enter all VARIABLE ETHERNET commands exactly as shown.
•
VARIABLE may be abbreviated as V, but do not use any other abbreviations
unless specifically allowed in the command description.
Important:
Use all VARIABLE ETHERNET commands with care since they
can change the data in the printer’s nonvolatile RAM.
Note:
Not all printers support all commands, and there may be some varia-
tion in command usage depending upon the printer model. For example,
non-ethernet printers do not support
VARIABLE ETHERNET
commands.
Review the printer’s quickstart guide and the Programmer’s Guide for addi-
tional information on compatibility.
