Sample Script Format


1.3

Begin Script - ^A)filename

This command is used to mark the beginning of a script file. The script may be saved into
the printer’s non-volatile flash memory if a title or filename is placed after the command.
The filename may contain to a maximum of 20 characters in length and include any
character from ASCII 0x20 and 0x41 to 0x7A (alphabetical characters plus [\]

_’and SP

(space character)) with the exception of the caret (^) character. Script filenames can not
use a leading zero

(“0”) or 0x30 characters. A script that contains a “filename” will only save

the script and will not process and print. The “^D350)filename” would be issued to recall
and process the saved script. If the script does not contain a “filename”, the script is
processed normally and will be volatile in nature.

For Example:

The previous example script’s first line is “^A)Sample Script” which would

save this script into the printer’s flash memory (non-volatile) as “Sample Script”.

1.4

Script Header

The script header consists of the

“^D200)” command followed by eight parameters that

control the media layout as well as printer operation. The parameters must be separated by
a delimiter, comma by default, and are entered using the current unit of measure selected
by the “^D564)” command. The origin or the starting coordinate is always the lower left
corner as the media exits the printer. This command may be issued from outside a script
but is typically created within a script file.

The script header is used to temporarily override the individual header parameters when
issued from within a script file. The parameters may be defaulted to the current persistent
value by not entering a value between the delimiters. Each of the header parameters has
an “^D6xx)” command equivalent that when set outside a script file remains persistent.

For Example: “^D200)LSX,LSY,,DRM”, would cause the “GAP” parameter to be defaulted
to the current “^D633)” value that was set outside a script file.
