Document commands

The document commands are a set of commands to control how the document is printed.

In order to support multiple hosts and to optimize the printing process, Labelpoint II has two

document commands. They are used to encapsulate print jobs, that is, a number of label print-

outs.

The Compact printer may be equipped with a cutter. The cutter is automatically detected

and normally no manual commands are needed, but for some situations there are commands

to further control the cutter.

Document start

!D D S

Document end

!D D E

The document commands enables Labelpoint to optimize the print process. If, for example,

automatic reverse feed is used, Labelpoint only reverse feeds the first layout in the print job.

This can save a lot of time when printing large batches.

Note! The dispensing feed and reverse feed must be set before the document start

command is sent.

Example

!Y24 60 // dispensing feed

!Y100 60 // reverse feed

!D D S // document start

!C // clear layout

!F T N 100 100 L 15 0 92501 “%1V print-out”

!R // clear variables

First

!P // print

Second

Third

!D D E // document end
