STX V Software Switch Settings
This command controls the printer options, where the appropriate value allows the
option(s) to be “On” or “Off.” Each option has a corresponding bit whose value is “1”
when enabled. The tables below indicate the bit assignments and corresponding
command value needed to enable the desired option(s). Printer options are set by
entering selections through the menu. The software setting command allows two of
these option settings to be modified without returning to the menu.
Syntax:
<STX>Vn
Where:
n
- Is a single digit ASCII numeric value from 0-F. The
value of n is used to override the power-up option
settings. Reset or power-up returns the printer to the
original settings.
Sample:
<STX>V5
The sample above corresponds to setting Bits 0 and 2, creating a
command value of 5. When applied, this enables the Present
Sensor and Cutter options.
Bit Assignment Printer Option
0 Cutter
1 N/A
2 Present Sensor
