Chapter 5 Printer Commands
466 Operators Manual 53
XX 64 Auto Print String Count: ^A tells the printer how many text strings to accept
before printing. Used in conjunction with ^A1^D63.
When the printer is put in auto-print mode, it is not necessary to send a ^D2? to
inform the printer that text is coming or send a ^D3? to tell the printer to print a
label. The printer will accept all incoming data as text strings (except control
codes) and will print a label as soon as the number of strings equals the amount
specified by the ^D64 command. At this point, the printer will print a label and
continue to accept data. This mode is useful for interfacing to a device that
transmits raw data, such as a scale or meter.
This is an example of the D63, 64 and 65 Commands...
