Extended System-Level Command Functions
Class Series 2 Programmer’s Manual 63
(BZ) Buzzer Enable – This command controls the audible signaling device that
acknowledges User Interface entries and, if enabled, sounds printer warning and
fault conditions.
(CA) Column Adjust – This command fine-tunes the Column Offset setting by
shifting both the horizontal start of print position and the Label Width termination
point to the right in dots (see Appendix K) to compensate for slight mechanical
differences sometimes evident when multiple printers share label formats. Note that
the EX2 accepts this command for backward compatibility only, limited in range (28-
228). The <STX>KcQQQ response will show the Column Adjust Fine Tune (CF)
equivalent value.
(CB) Cut Behind – This command allows the printer to queue a specified number of
small labels before a cut is performed to increase throughput.
(CC) Control Codes – This command, depending upon printer type, allows a
change to the prefix of the software commands interpreted by the printer:

Control Code Definition
S Standard Codes
Hex 01 = SOH command; Hex 02 = STX command; count-
by = ^; Hex 1B = ESC; Hex 0x0D = Carriage Return
1 Alternate Codes
Hex 5E = SOH command; Hex 7E = STX command; count-
by = @; Hex 1B = ESC; Hex 0x0D = Carriage Return
2 Alternate Codes 2
Hex 5E = SOH command; Hex 7E = STX command; count-
by = @; Hex 1B = ESC; Hex 0x7C = Carriage Return
(CE) Cutter Equipped – This command allows the printer to sense the cutter option.
“A” - automatically senses device presence; if undetected, no error is generated. “E” -
enables the device, where its presence must be detected; otherwise, a fault is
generated. “N” - disables device detection. One of these values is returned in
response to <STX>KcQQQ. Note that alternate values are accepted for backward
compatibility as follows: For display-equipped models “Y” is equivalent to “A”; and,
for non-display models “Y” is equivalent to “E”.
(CF) Column Adjust Fine Tune – This command fine-tunes the Column Offset
setting by shifting both the horizontal start of print position and the Label Width
termination point to the right in dots (see Appendix K) to compensate for slight
mechanical differences sometimes evident when multiple printers share label
formats.
