H

Enter Heat Setting

This command changes the “on time” of elements of the print head. The default setting

is 10 (except in the case of printers with a menu, where the default setting can be
changed through the keypad). An increase or decrease in this value results in a change

of heat applied by the print head to the media, lightening or darkening the print contrast
accordingly. This is helpful when using different media types, each requiring a different
amount of heat to properly image the media. The host device can send this command

value to correct the heat setting per the application.

Syntax:

Hnn

Where:

nn

- Is a two-digit heat value (00-30).

Sample:

L
H15
141100001000100SAMPLE LABEL
E

The sample above sets the printer for a heat value of 15 and

prints one label.

Non-Display models – the “Darkness Potentiometer,” while providing subtle changes, is

intended to be used to match print contrast levels following print head replacements.

J Justification

This command changes the printing justification.

Syntax:

Ja

Where:

a

- Is a single-digit alpha character:

L = left justified (default)
R = right justified

C = center justified

Sample:

L
1911A1801001000TEST1
JR
1911A1801000100TEST2
JC
1911A1802000200TEST3
E

The sample above prints “TEST1” one inch up and one inch over

going right, “TEST2” one inch up and one inch over going left, and
“TEST3” two inches up and over.
