STX KD Database Configuration (Non-Display Models only)
This command, stored in Flash memory for future power-ups, controls the printer’s
environment and operates as a pseudo DIP switch. The <STX>Kc command is
recommended for use over <STX>KD.
Syntax:
<STX>KDwxyz<CR>
Where:
w, x, y, and z are binary values with respective bit settings as
defined in the following table. (Bit 0 is least significant.)
Sample:
<STX>KD@H@@<CR>
The sample above configures 9600 baud, 8-bit words, no parity,
with direct thermal printing, gap sensing, standard control
characters, and a cutter.
•
Ignore Host Distance (see below) disregards <STX>O and <STX>f commands (in case
host software sends values that may be inappropriate). Use the <STX>KD command or
the Setup Menu to enable this feature.
• This command will result in a system reset for the EX2.
