2.4.6 ^D541)n (Select Button 1 Response)
This command is used to select the operation and response of Button 1 which is typically
referred to as the print button
. When set to a value of “1”, the printer will reprint the
previously printed script with a short button press and if the button is held, the printer will
continuously feed media until the button is released. When set to a value of “2”, the printer
will form feed with a short or brief button
press and continuous feed if held. A setting of “3”
causes the short button press to send the “>BUTTON 1 TAPPED<” response to the active
port while holding the button in continuously feeds media until the button is released. A
setting of “4” causes the short button press to send the “>BUTTON 1 TAPPED<” response
to the active port while holding the button in sends the “>BUTTON 1 HELD<” response
through the active port.
A setting of “5” causes the short button press to initiate a TOF (Top-
Of-Form) or ^D311 command while holding the button in continuously feeds media until the
button is released.
1 Short press = reprint; button held = continuous feed (default)
2 Short press = form feed; button held = continuous feed
3
Short press = “>BUTTON 1 TAPPED<” response;
button held = continuous feed
4
Short press = “>BUTTON 1 TAPPED<”;
button
held = “>BUTTON 1 HELD<”
5 Short press = Initiates a TOF (^D311); button held = continuous feed
2.4.7
^D550)n (Select Printer Response Set)
This command is used to select among the available response sets the printer offers. The
response sets determine how the printer will react to commands, functions, and enquiry
responses. Issuing a ^Dxx command without a parameter will report the commands current
setting regardless of the selected response set. Descriptive text is reported by issuing the
question mark character (“?”) after a ^Dxx command and is available in all response sets.
For Example: Issuing th
e “^D550)? <CR>” command sequence would cause the printer to
report text that describes the commands current setting as well as the commands operation
and valid settings.
Refer to the following sample dialog:
^D550 n -- Selects response mode
1 - TEXT -- Text responses (default)
2 - BYTE -- Byte-encoded responses
9 - VERBOSE -- Text responses with command help text
and confirmations of settings
Current setting is: 1.
Use a selection index to change the setting.
Text: If text responses are selected, the printer responds with simple text responses to
enquiries and error conditions. Commands that are issued without an argument will return
that commands current setting without descriptive text while in the text mode response set.
The printer is capable of multiple line responses so the final response is terminated with a
“CR LF” or “0x0D 0x0A” sequence to assist in programming. The only response that is
