Extended System-Level Command Functions
66 Class Series 2 Programmer’s Manual
(EP) End of Print – This command defines the signal output used to signify the End
of Print (EOP) process:
Value Units End of Print Interpretation
1 Low Pulse
Outputs a low pulse (approximately 30 milliseconds long)
following printing.
2 High Pulse
Outputs a high pulse (approximately 30 milliseconds long)
following printing.
3 Active Low Outputs a logic low (zero) following printing.
4 Active High Outputs a logic high (one) following printing.
(EQ) Start of Print – This command defines the type of signal input required to
control the Start of Print (SOP) process:
Value Units Start of Print Interpretation
3 Active Low
SOP signal must go low for at least 50 milliseconds to initiate
printing.
4 Active High
SOP signal must go high for at least 50 milliseconds to
initiate printing.
(ES) ESC Sequences – This command allows data containing invalid ESC control
code sequences to be processed (helpful because some systems send a “banner” to
the printer). When set to “Disabled,” ESC sequences are ignored and the data is
processed. Bitmapped font downloads are disabled in this mode.
(EV) Empty Sensor Level – This command sets threshold value for the “Empty”
media sensor parameter.
(FA) Format Attribute – See the “An” command for details (Label Formatting
Command Functions).
(FB) Scalable Font Bolding – This command sets a bolding factor to fine tune
scalable fonts, where one causes the least amount of bolding and thirty-six the most
(default value is 8).
