VARIABLE BUFFER_TIMED_RESET

Function

Enables or disables the memory reset timer.

Explicit Form

VARIABLE BUFFER_TIMED_RESET duration

Parameters

duration

Timer duration in 0.1 second intervals.

The minimum value is 2 (0.2 seconds),
maximum is 59990 (about 1 hour and 40

minutes). The default value varies by
printer type:
Code Courier – The default value is 5 (0.5

seconds). You can also specify the value as
ON

or OFF. ON will set the timer to 8

seconds, and OFF will set it to 512 seconds.
Barcode Blaster – The default value is

6000 (10 minutes).
? will return the current setting on DLX

and CSeries printers.

Comments

The printer expects incoming data to arrive in a timely

manner. It will clear memory if it receives the beginning

of a line of data and fails to receive the accompanying end-
of-line termination (carriage return or line feed) within

the time set by BUFFER_TIMED_RESET. Code Courier will
also go to sleep at that time. This keeps the printer from

waiting indefinitely for incoming data that was lost due to
a communications error. The timer value may need

adjustment if the printer must communicate with a

system that has unusual data transmission timing.

When using this command, send it to the printer with
VARIABLE WRITE

in a non-printing label format. Do not

use this command in stored label formats.

Example

! 0 0 0 0

VARIABLE BUFFER_TIMED_RESET OFF

VARIABLE WRITE
