System-Level Command Functions

STX Y Output Sensor Values
This command causes a sensor value response. When Y is received, the printer will
respond with the digitally converted values of the internal analog sensors (see below).
To repeat the display of values, send the printer a “SPACE” character (20 hexadecimal);
or, send to terminate this function.
The printer must have Feedback Characters enabled for this command to function.
(Feedback Mode [Characters] can be enabled via command or menu setting; see the
KcFM
command or the Operator’s Manual for additional information).
Syntax:
Y
Printer response:
Thermistor ADC: 0048 Reflective ADC: 0000
Transmissive ADC: 0000 24 Volt ADC: 0217 Contrast ADC:
0093 TOF Adjust ADC: 0170 Ribbon ADC: 0125 Battery
Level: Good
Where:
Battery level:
Good indicates a sufficient battery charge;
Low
indicates an insufficient charge.
 • Equipped sensors vary with printer, model, and options;
• Some readings require printer-controlled paper movement to produce a meaningful
value; and,
• Media Sensor readings require the appropriate sensor selection, transmissive
(e
) or reflective (r), and label stock placed in the sensor.
STX y Select Font Symbol Set
This command selects the scalable font symbol set. The selected symbol set remains
active until another symbol set is selected. See the KS command and Appendices
E, I, and H for more information. Option dependent and not all symbol sets can be used
with all fonts.
Syntax: ySxx
Where: S - Byte-size designation; see Appendix H:
S
= Single byte symbol sets.
U = Double byte symbol sets.
xx
- Symbol set selection.
Sample:
ySPM
The sample above selects the PC-850 multilingual set.
