^A ^D Command
21 Change SW1: Software dip switch #1. The dip switches are the only commands
that use binary input. They can use a ^AB sequence followed by an 8 digit 0 or
1 code.
For example: ^AB10000011^D215 will configure the printer for a text equivalent
enquiry response, accept control codes, scanner input off, disable displayed
enquiry, disable echo, 8 data bits, and enable XON/XOFF flow control.

Position:
1,2 Enquiry Response: This determines what the printer will send back in response
to an enquiry. See chapter 5, Table 9 for more details.
3 Control Codes: It is not acceptable in some applications to allow the printer to
accept control codes (ASCII characters below 20 hex), because of the way the
host computer interacts with the machine. This switch setting will allow or
disallow printer response to control code use.
4 Not Used
5 Copies Count Prompt: If this is set to a 1, the printer will not request a copies
count after a label is selected through the front panel.
6 Echo: If this feature is enabled, the printer will echo all received characters to
the communications port.
7 Menu System: If disabled, the 'DISPLAY' and 'ENTER' keys will not respond. All
other keys function normally.
8 XON/XOFF: Enable or disable XON/XOFF software handshaking. Clear To
Send (CTS) hardware handshaking is always enabled.
