nn...n is the name you want to give to the image and by which it can be recalled in the label
definition (it can be different from the original name of the graphic file). It is an
alphanumeric string of no more than 8 capital characters ending with the character CR.
Immediately after entering this command, you must send the graphic file to be loaded to the printer.
This file may contain characters that could be misinterpreted by the immediate command interpreter
and for this reason the command must be preceded by SOH D (see sect. 2.1.1 on page 6) to
temporarily disable the interpreter.
e.g.
SOH D
disables the immediate command interpreter
STX IAPxxx1 the graphic file that follows is in PCX (P) format and is loaded in RAM (A)
with the name xxx1.
STX J - Off-line after a label
After this command, the printer goes off-line after printing each label.
STX L – Label definition mode
This command “opens” the label definition mode (see sect. 2.1.2.1 on page 13). That is, all the
instructions included within the commands STX L and E (X or s(A/B/C/D/E)nn...n) are used to
“build” the label, or define which fields must be included, their size and where they must be placed.
STX Mnnnn – Maximum label length
If, after the paper has advanced by nnnn hundredths of an inch
12
, the machine does not find gap (a
black tick mark or a hole), it will signal an error. The default value for this advance is 10 inches but
it can be changed so that the printer will signal an error earlier.
e.g. with STX M0255 and a label height of 2.5 inches, an error will be signalled if there is no gap
within 2.55 inches (that is there is no label).
STX m – Metric system
After this command, all numerical parameters are read as tenths of a millimetre and no longer in
hundredths of an inch. To return to hundredths of an inch you must enter STX n.
STX n – Imperial system
After a STX m command, you can return to the default system in which all numerical parameters are
read as hundredths of an inch by entering STX n.
12 After an STX m command (see relevant paragraph), nnnn is read as tenths of a millimetre.
