The printer’s LED does not flash after receiving this packet.
To check if the battery voltage changed, print a test label. The
selected printer remains active until a different printer is
selected or you turn the printer off.

Example

{

I,C,0,0,0,0,768,1

p }

Uses the default print contrast, does not adjust the print or
margin positions, prints at 2 inches per second, sets the
supply width to 4 inches, and specifies a 12-volt battery.

If the only parameter you need to change is the battery
voltage, make sure the printer is selected and ready to receive
data. Then, send this packet:

Example

{

I,C,,,,,,1

p }

Keeps your previously defined print control settings and
specifies a 12-volt battery.

Using Non-Addressed Mode––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

In non-addressed mode, the printer uses a single
communication cable and does not need to be addressed or
selected before sending format and batch packets. To use a
printer in non-addressed mode, you must clear the printer’s
address. Make sure the printer is selected and ready to
receive data. Clear the printer’s address by sending this
packet:

Example

{

I,F,,,,,,""

p }

Keeps your previously defined communication settings and
clears the printer’s address. The address becomes 000000.

Your printer is ready to operate in non-addressed mode. You
can send format, batch, or any other MPCLII packets to the
printer.
