5.3.10 MISCELLANEOUS PRINTER COMMANDS
^A ^D Command
2 Text string entry mode: Begin text entry mode. This command must be sent
before the printer will accept text or bar code information. (Equivalent to ^B)
5 Send Printer Status: See section 5.3 (Equivalent to ^E)
29 Printer Statistics: ^A selects the mode.
0 Print statistics to serial port
1 Print statistics on a label
2 Clear the printed labels variable in the statistics
3 Clear the printed inches variable in the statistics
Note: The printed labels counter shows the number of labels printed since the last reset and
the total labels indicates the total number of prints since the manufactured date. The printed
labels and printed inches counters are user resetable while the total labels and total inches
counters are not. Printed inches and printed labels are reset using the ^D29 command (see
section 5.3). The power-up label contains other useful information including the unit serial
number, power-on hours, previous serial parameters (not the default parameters caused by
executing creating a status label), and the software revision number.
The switch bank settings reflect the contents of the six software and the two hardware dip
switch banks that configure the operation of the printer.
