2.4 ^C PRINT MODE
The print mode instructs the print to start the print cycle.
If the printer has not been instructed to print multiple copies then
only one label will be printed.
2.5 ^D COMMAND MODE
The command mode is used for sending the printer set-up and control
information. Command mode is begun by entering a control-D code
(^D). Then a command number is entered followed by a carriage return
or another control code. Some commands load data or control numbers
into the machine. The accumulator mode is used to send the data,
then a control-D command can use the data in the accumulator.
Example: ^A3^D75^C This sequence will print three labels.
The following is a list of command codes:
1 Enter accumulator mode (Same as ^A)
2 Begin text string entry mode (Same as ^B)
3 Start print cycle (Same as ^C)
5 Send printer status (Same as ^E)
