Configuration Commands
~CC 630
This command instructs the printer to return the ASCII character 'FS' ( Hexadecimal
1C, Decimal 28 ) every time a tag is printed. This feature allows the connected
computer to maintain a count. This command must be sent with every batch. It is
cleared upon completion of the batch.
~CF_ 630,650,960,6X6,SNAP
This command controls flagging in the current batch. The underscore should be
replaced by one of the following.
N - No Flagging This command turns off flagging for this format.
L = Long / Short This means that two blank tags will appear after a batch is printed
when the tag has a sense mark. The first blank tag is cut long by .23 inches and
the second is cut short by the same amount. These blank tags act as a
separator when the tags are in the printers stacker. When there is no sense
mark on the tag, the blank tag is longer by .23 inches than the printed tags.
D = Double length This command produces a flag that is two tags in the pull length.
T = Stock Saving Flag All tags are printed but the cut on the next to last tag is .125
inches short, which makes the last tag .125 inches longer in the pull length.
All tags can be used.
V = Verifier Flag This command is to be used if a verifier is active on the printer. The
batch quantity is increased by 2 and the stock saving feature is activated. The
print is carried over to the flag which prevents the verifier from halting the
printer when a barcode is not scanned.
B = Double blank Flag This command produces a flag that is blank and two tags in
the pull length.
S = Small Flag This command produces a flag that is .078 inches longer than the tag in
the pull length. When the tag has a sense mark, the first tag is cut long by .078
inches and the second is cut short by the same amount.
M = Medium Flag This command produces a flag that is .15 inches longer than the
tag in the pull length. When the tag has a sense mark, the first tag is cut long
by .15 inches and the second is cut short by the same amount.
X = Extra Large Flag This command produces a flag that is .31 inches longer than the
tag in the pull length. When the tag has a sense mark, the first tag is cut long
by .31 inches and the second is cut short by the same amount.
Z = Zero length Flag This command produces a flag that is equal to the tag in the pull
length. When the tag has a sense mark, only one tag is generated for the flag.
F = Flag According to the Format Returns the flagging mode to whatever was
defined in the format.
NOTE: These command are included in the
batch and allow control of some aspects of
printing on a batch by batch basis.
