Class Series 2 Programmer’s Manual


STX e

Select Edge Sensor

This command enables transmissive (see-through) sensing for top-of-form detection of
die-cut and holed (notched) media. This sensor will detect a minimum gap of 0.1 inches

(2.5 mm) between labels (see the Operator’s Manual for media requirements). This is
the default setting.

Syntax:

e

This command is ignored when cnnnn is issued with a non-zero value for nnnn.



STX F

Form Feed

This commands the printer to form feed to the next start of print.


Syntax:

F

Printer response:

The printer will form feed.


STX f

Set Form Stop Position (Backfeed Command)

This sets the stop position of the printed label, allowing the label to stop at a point past
the start-of-print position. When the next label format is sent, the printer motor

reverses direction to retract the media to the start-of-print position. If quantities of more
than one label are requested, the printer will operate without backfeeding. Backfeed will

then only occur when printing has stopped for a few seconds.

Non-Display Models: Option Control must be set via the printer menu to “Host” for this

command to have effect.

Display-Equipped Models: This command is not honored; see

Kf

and

Kc.

Syntax:

fnnn

Where:

nnn

-

Is a three-digit distance from the Media Sensor, in
inches/100 or mm/10. This distance is independent of
the start-of-print position (O), yet it must be
greater than the start-of-print position to take effect.

Sample:

f230

The sample above sets a stop position distance of 230 (2.3 inches
from the Media Sensor’s eye).
