Easy Print: Using Configuration Commands
Configuration commands are either in two-letter or three-letter formats. One or several two
letter commands can be sent to the printer but are not written to Flash memory and do not
take effect until a {COMMIT} command is sent. When the printer receives the {COMMIT}
command, the values received are written to Flash and the printer restarts. Each two-letter
command changes one parameter.
Most three-letter commands permit several parameters to be changed at once, although
some only accept data. If several parameters can be changed with one command, one or two
letters indicating the parameter are separated from the data for that parameter by a colon
":". Parameter and/or data pairs are separated with a semicolon. When the printer receives a
three letter command, it writes the values to Flash and restarts the printer. To prevent the
printer from resetting after each three letter configuration command, some printer families
allow you to send the NORESET command {NORESET} before sending configuration
commands. After issuing the NORESET command and configuring the printer, send the
COMMIT command {COMMIT} to write to Flash and restart the printer.
In earlier versions of the software, the structure of the configuration data was modified;
therefore, if you are updating to those earlier versions, your configuration data will be lost.
Creating Configuration Command Files
You can create files that can be sent to the printer for the following commands using DOS
Edit or Notepad. Each of these commands are preceded by EZ (1B455Ah). Two
character commands must be followed by {COMMIT}; three character commands are
immediate commands and do not need the {COMMIT}.
The commands on the following pages can be used to configure specific parameters.
Two-Letter Configuration Commands
Note: Configuration data is stored separately from the main printer
application's binary program; therefore, all configuration data remains intact
after the firmware is updated.
Auto White Space Advance {CA:n} Original
MF2, MF3, 2t, 4t
Radio Ready
2t, 3l, 4t
{ A left bracket begins the command set.
CA:n n=y or Y : Speed up over white space
n=n or N : Do not speed up over white
space.
Note: If there is nothing to print, the Auto
White Space Advance command speeds
the paper feed.
