VARIABLE BUFFER_TIMED_RESET
Function Enables or disables the memory reset timer.
Explicit Form VARIABLE BUFFER_TIMED_RESET duration
Parameters duration Timer duration in 0.1 second intervals.
The minimum value is 2 (0.2 seconds),
maximum is 59990 (about 1 hour and 40
minutes). The default value varies by
printer type:
Code Courier – The default value is 5 (0.5
seconds). You can also specify the value as
ON
or OFF. ON will set the timer to 8
seconds, and OFF will set it to 512 seconds.
Barcode Blaster – The default value is
6000 (10 minutes).
? will return the current setting on DLX
and CSeries printers.
Comments The printer expects incoming data to arrive in a timely
manner. It will clear memory if it receives the beginning
of a line of data and fails to receive the accompanying end-
of-line termination (carriage return or line feed) within
the time set by BUFFER_TIMED_RESET. Code Courier will
also go to sleep at that time. This keeps the printer from
waiting indefinitely for incoming data that was lost due to
a communications error. The timer value may need
adjustment if the printer must communicate with a
system that has unusual data transmission timing.
When using this command, send it to the printer with
VARIABLE WRITE
in a non-printing label format. Do not
use this command in stored label formats.
Example ! 0 0 0 0
VARIABLE BUFFER_TIMED_RESET OFF
