ITEM DESCRIPTION

HOST SETTINGS

Controls the communications with a host device, where:

The "ignore host" settings for ESC SEQUENCES, HEAT, SPEED, TOF SENSING,

SYMBOL SET, CNTRL-CODES, STX-V SW SETTINGS, and MAX LENGTH will be

unaffected when PL-Z Mode is selected (see Input Mode for details).

HOST TIMEOUT

Sets the number of seconds (1 - 60) that an established communications port must be idle before

data can be received through an alternate port, where:

If the time-out period is exceeded before all data is received, the data will be

ignored.

10

Is the Default Setting.

CONTROL CODES

Allows changes to the prefix of the software commands interpreted by the printer, where:

STANDARD

CODES

Use these characters: Hex 01 = SOH command; Hex 02 = STX command; count-by = ^; Hex 1B =

ESC; Hex 0x0D = Carriage Return. (Default Setting)

ALTERNATE

CODES

Use these characters: Hex 5E = SOH command; Hex 7E = STX command; count-by = @; Hex 1B =

ESC; Hex 0x0D = Carriage Return.

ALTERNATE

CODES 2

Use these characters: Hex 5E = SOH command; Hex 7E = STX command; count-by = @; Hex 1B =

ESC; Hex 0x7C = Carriage Return.

CUSTOM CODES

Each DPL command (SOH, STX, CR, and count-by) may be selected by entering the desired Hex

code.

FEEDBACK

CHARACTERS

Allows the printer to return a Hex 1E (RS) after each label successfully prints, and a Hex 1F (US)

after each label batch successfully prints, where:

ENABLED

Sends feedback characters to the host.

DISABLED

Does not send feedback characters to the host. (Default Setting)

ESC SEQUENCES

Allows data containing invalid ESC control code sequences to be processed, where:

ENABLED

Processes commands normally. (Default Setting)

DISABLED

Ignores ESC sequences are during processing (since some systems send a “banner” to the printer).

Bitmapped font downloads are disabled in this mode.

HEAT COMMAND

ENABLED

Processes commands normally. (Default Setting)

DISABLED

Ignores DPL Heat commands; instead, the heat value is controlled via the menu setting.

SPEED COMMANDS

Determines the way DPL Print, Feed, Slew, and Reverse commands are handled, where:

ENABLED

Processes commands normally. (Default Setting)

DISABLED

Ignores DPL speed commands; instead, the speeds are controlled via the menu setting.

TOF SENSING

COMMANDS

Determines the way in which DPL Gap, Continuous, and Reflective commands are handled, where:

ENABLED

MAX LENGTH

COMMAND

Determines the way in which the DPL M command is handled, where:

ENABLED

Processes commands normally. (Default Setting)

DISABLED

Ignores the maximum label length command; instead, Maximum Label Length is controlled via the

menu setting.

Storage, etc.), where:

ENABLED

Operations are interrupted upon receipt to process the command.
