Text Mode Control: Allows entry of new text without a ^D2 and/or clears all text
when new text is added. The following ^AXX values have the following effects:

0

Disable 1 & 2.

1

Enable auto-print mode: If this command is selected, the printer will accept new
text strings without the need to send a ^D2 command. The printer will also auto-
print a label when the number of received text string equals the number
specified using the ^D64 command. This mode is very useful when interfacing
to a scale, bar code wand or other simple host.

2

Clear all previous text upon receiving new data. When one or more characters
of new text is entered, the existing text area will be erased in its entirety. The
printer can be programmed to enter this mode automatically upon power-up by
setting position 7 of software dip switch 2 (See ^D21, section 5.3.1).

3

Enable 1 & 2.

XX

64

Auto-Print String Count: This command is used in conjunction with the
^A1^D63 auto-print command. The ^A value sets the number of text strings to
accept before printing. When the printer is in auto-print mode, it is not necessary
to send a ^D2 to enter new text or to send a ^D3 to print a label. The printer
will accept incoming text strings and print a label as soon as the number of
strings equals the amount specified by the ^D64 command.

This is an example of the D63, 64 and 65 Commands...
