Extended System-Level Command Functions
86 Class Series Programmer’s Manual
(SP) Serial Port – This command configures the serial communication port(s) as follows:
Table 5-12: Serial Port Configuration Set Command
Note: For E-Class & M-Class models, this command is followed by the port ID, always ‘A’ (i.e.,
SPA); for EX2 models, the data length, parity, and stop bits are fixed at 8, N, and 1
respectively. And, for Applicator Interface Card-equipped models, this command is also used
to configure the GPIO Auxiliary port (ID always ‘B’).
Example: <STX>KcSPAPB;SPApN;SPAD8;SPAS1;SPAB19<CR>
(The example configures Serial Port A to use hardware and software handshaking, an eight-bit
word, with no parity and one stop bit at 19,200 bits per second.)
(SS or sS) Feed Speed – This command controls the rate of label movement between printing
areas; see Appendix L.
