STX Onnnn – Vertical offset
To move the whole label lengthwise with respect to the direction of the printing, you can enter a
vertical offset. The four digit number nnnn gives the offset in hundredths of an inch
13
“according” to
the emulation used (for this, see the user’s manual for the printer used).
e.g. STX O0225 (if you use the REFERENCE OFFSET 210) gives an offset of 15 hundredths of an
inch, that is the printer, before starting to print, will advance the paper by 15 hundredths of an inch
and the printing will appear 15 hundredths of an inch “higher up” than “normal”.
If the offset is positive, it will take effect from the first label, if it is negative, from the second
onwards.
STX o – Immediate cut
When the automatic cutter is fitted and enabled, this command activates an immediate cut.
STX P – Dump mode
After this command, the printer goes into dump mode. This means that the command interpreter is
disabled and all characters received by the printer are printer as hexadecimals: to exit this mode the
printer must be switched off and on again. The command is equivalent to pressing both the ON-
LINE and FEED buttons when it is switched on (for further information, see the user’s manual for
the printer used) except that it does not print a test label.
STX p - Off-line after a batch of labels
This command causes the printer to go off-line, unlike with the STX J command, see relevant
paragraph, after each batch of labels it prints.
STX Q – Cancel all
This is equivalent to the commands STX qA + STX qB + STX qD + STX qE: it cancels all the drives
including RAM and flash memories.
STX q(A/B/C/D/E) - Cancel drive
This command “cleans” drives A, B, C, D, E
14
respectively. The result is that all the images or
labels previously saved are cancelled. Cancelling the non-volatile flash memory may take several
seconds.
e.g. STX qB cancels the non-volatile flash memory of the base machine.
STX r – Paper sensor in reflection mode
After receiving this command, the sensor will operate in reflection mode (for the use of sensor
operating modes, see the user’s manual for the printer used).
13
After an STX m command (see relevant paragraph), nnnn is read as tenths of a millimetre.
14 Volatile memory drive A (RAM), and flash memory drives D and E (non-volatile) are only available when present (in
an expander card) (for further information, see the user’s manual for the printer used).
