System-Level Command Functions

terminated with E, s, or X, (see Label-Formatting Commands for additional

information.)

STX m - Set Printer To Metric

This command sets the printer to interpret measurements as metric values

(e.g., <STX>c0100 will equal 10.0mm). See <STX>n.

STX n - Set Printer to Imperial (Inches)

This command sets the printer to interpret measurements as Imperial values

(e.g., <STX>c0100 will equal 1.00 inch). See <STX>m.

STX o - Cycle Cutter

This command will immediately cycle the cutter blade on the option Cutter

Mechanism. The Cutter must be installed, enabled and the interlocks closed

for operation. The Commands to activate the Cutter (System Level Command

<STX>o, and Label Formatting Commands ‘c’ and ‘:’) are only processed

when the Media Handling menu is set to ‘Cut’, and the DGL Advanced-User

Menu ‘Cut Cmds’ is set to ‘Process’.

STX Q - Clear All Modules

This command instructs the printer to clear all of the Flash, RAM, and Internal

Modules.

STX q - Clear Module

This command clears the selected memory module (Flash or RAM).

STX r - Select Reflective Sensor

This command selects the reflective media sensor for top-of-form detection of

reflective stock (e.g., fan-folded tags with carbon-based black marks printed

along the underside of the media). The end of the black mark determines

label TOF. Labels must be at least 0.5” (13mm) between each TOF mark.

(The <STX>e command switches from reflective back to edge sensing).

STX S - Set Feed Rate

This command determines the feed rate of the media when the printer’s

FEED button is pressed.

STX U - Label Format Field Replacement

This command places new label data into format fields. Format fields are

used to build a label. The new data string must equal the original string length

and contain valid data. To easily keep track of fields, place all of the fields to

be updated with the command at the beginning of the label format. A

maximum of 99 format fields can be updated. Fields are numbered

consecutively 01 to 99, in the order received.
