Printer Commands

Chapter 5

48-466 Operators Manual

When the printer is put in auto-print mode, it is not necessary to send a ^D25 to
inform the printer that text is coming or send a ^D35 to tell the printer to print a label.
The printer will accept all incoming data as text strings (except control codes) and
will print a label as soon as the number of strings equals the amount specified by the
^D64 command. At this point, the printer will print a label and continue to accept data.
This mode is useful for interfacing to a device that transmits raw data, such as a
scale or meter.

This is an example of the D63, 64 and 65 Commands...
