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
Determines the way the DPL Heat command is handled, where:
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 Processes commands normally. (Default Setting)
DISABLED Ignores DPL TOF commands; instead, TOF is controlled via the menu setting.
SYMBOL SET
COMMAND
Determines the way in which DPL Single and Double Symbol Set commands are

where:
ENABLED Processes commands normally. (Default Setting)
DISABLED Ignores DPL Control Codes; instead, the control code functions are established via
