Class Series Programmer’s Manual 23

STX n Set Printer to Imperial Mode

This command sets the printer to interpret measurements as inch values (e.g., <STX>c0100 will

equal 1.00 inch). The printer defaults to this mode.

Syntax:

<STX>n

STX O Set Start of Print (SOP) Position

This command sets the point to begin printing relative to the top-of-form (the label’s edge as detected

by the Media Sensor). The printer will feed from the top-of-form to the value specified in this

command to begin printing.

This value operates independently of the <STX>f command.

Non-Display Models: The printer Options Control must be set (via the menu) to ‘Host’ for this

command to have effect.

Display-Equipped Models: If SOP Emulation is set to ‘enabled’ (via the menu), this command sets

the point where printing starts, emulating the selected legacy printer’s distance, as measured between

the media sensor and the print head burn line. In addition, regardless of the SOP Emulation setting,

the start of print position can be fine-tuned via the menu: Menu Mode / Print Control / Custom

Adjustments / Row Adjust.

Syntax:

<STX>Onnnn

Where:

nnnn

- Is a four-digit offset value in inches/100 or mm/10. The

“zero” setting is the default value, and settings below 50 are

adjusted back to the default value.

Non-Display Models: the default setting is 0220 in Imperial

Mode (0559 in Metric Mode).

Display-Equipped Models: the default setting is ‘Off’ and

the printer assumes the natural start of print position.

Sample (non-display

models):

<STX>O0300

The above sample sets a start of print position of 3.0 inches (unless in Metric Mode, see <STX>m).

Sample (display-

equipped models):

<STX>O0210

The above sample will begin printing 0.1 inch closer to the leading edge of the label if the 220

(Allegro) SOP Emulation was selected, or 1.0 inch farther away from the leading edge if 110

(ProdPlus) SOP Emulation was selected.
