The parameters are separated from each other and their respective commands by a separator
character, the comma (44
10
or 2C
16
on the ASCII table).
Please refer to section 5 on page 50, where several examples illustrate the functions of the
commands.
3.1 ^ Commands
3.1.1 General parameters for the label
3.1.1.1 Start and end format commands
^XA (Start Format)
When it receives this command, the printer prepares to receive the ^ commands that will be
performed in the order in which they have been received. In other words, all ^ commands are
preceded by the command ^XA and followed by the subsequent command ^XZ.
^XZ (End Format)
This is normally the last in a series of commands sent to the printer. It follows all ^ commands,
which can thus be inserted between the command ^XA and ^XZ. After this command, the printer
only interprets ~ commands or another ^XA command.
3.1.1.2 Positioning commands
^LHx,y (Label Home)
This command makes it possible to position the origin of the coordinates, or move the entire bitmap
away from zero (the upper left corner) (see fig. 2).
