System-Level Command Functions
Class Series Programmer’s Manual 19
STX f Set Form Stop Position (Backfeed Command)
This sets the stop position of the printed label, allowing the label to stop at a point past the start-of-
print position. When the next label format is sent, the printer motor reverses direction to retract the
media to the start-of-print position. If quantities of more than one label are requested, the printer will
operate without backfeeding. A backfeed will then only occur when printing has stopped for a few
seconds.
Non-Display Models: The printer Option Control must be set (via the menu) to ‘Host’ for this
command to have effect.
Display-Equipped Models: This command is not honored, see <STX>Kf and <STX>Kc.
Syntax:
<STX>fnnn
Where:
nnn
- Is a three-digit distance from the Media Sensor, in inches/100 or
mm/10. This distance is independent of the start-of-print position
(<STX>O), yet it must be greater than the start-of-print position to
take effect.
Sample:
<STX>f230
The sample sets a stop position distance of 230 (2.3 inches from the Media Sensor’s eye).
STX G Print Last Label Format
This command prints a previously formatted label and restarts a canceled batch job following the last
processed label. This is used when there is a label format in the buffer. The <STX>E command is
used to enter the quantity. (If the <STX>E command is not used only one label will print.)
Syntax:
<STX>G
