Label Formatting Command Functions
116
G Place Data in Global Register
The “G” command saves the print data of a print format record in a global register
(temporary storage). This data may be retrieved and copied to another record in the
same label format using the special Label Formatting Command: S. Global
registers are named in the order received, beginning with Register A, ending at Register
Z, and incrementing with each instance of the G command use.
Syntax: G
Sample: L
121100000000000Testing
G
1A2210001000000SA
E
The sample above stores, retrieves, and prints the data in global
register A. One label is printed with “Testing” in two locations.
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.
