STX e – Paper sensor in transmission mode
After receiving this command, the sensor works in transmission mode (for paper sensor use and
operating modes see the user’s manual for the printer).
STX F - Form feed
It advances the paper of a label just as the FEED button on the control panel does: if a job is being
printed, the form feed is queued and executed at the end of it.
STX fnnn - Back feed
To tear the label off at the gap or cut it with the automatic cutter, once printing is completed, the
paper must advance just enough to reach the right position, and must then return before the next
label is printed.
With this command, the last label printed is made to advance beyond the print head by nnn
hundredths of an inch

, then before the next one is printed the paper returns the same distance to
keep the printing aligned with the label itself.
The amount by which the paper advances depends on the kind of emulation used (for this, see the
user’s manual for the printer used): that is the actual back feed is the difference between nnn and the
REFERENCE OFFSET of the emulation that is being used.
STX G – Print label
The label “closed” by the X command (see sect. 2.1.2.1.1 on page 13) is not printed immediately
but is held in the memory until the STX G command arrives. STX Ennnn indicates the number of
labels remaining to be printed (if it is missing, only one label is printed).
STX Isfnn...n – Load graphic images
Graphic images must be loaded into the RAM (volatile) or flash (non-volatile) memory before they
can be printed. To do this, use the STX Isfnn...n command where
s is the drive where the image is to be loaded. It may be
A: RAM
10
(volatile) drive
B: Flash (non-volatile) drive of the base machine
C: Current
11
drive
D: Flash drive of expander card n° 1 (see the user’s manual for the printer used)
E: Flash drive of expander card n° 2
f is the image format. It may be
P: PCX format
p: “flipped” PCX format (mirror image)
B: BMP format

After a STX m command (see relevent paragraph), nnn is read as tenths of a millimetre.
10
Drive A of volatile memory (RAM) is available only when it is present (in an expander card) (for this, see the user’s
manual for the printer that is used).
11 The current default drive is B (flash) and A (RAM) when it is present (in an expander card). It is possible to change
the current drive using the STX Xa command, see relevant paragraph.
