Honeywell E-Class Series User Manual

Control Code Command Functions
The printer requires a special “attention-getter” character in order to receive a
command sequence, informing the printer that it is about to receive a command and
the type of command it will be. Control Commands, System-Level Commands, and
Font Loading Commands have their own unique attention-getter, followed by a
command character that directs printer action.
Attention-Getters
The attention-getters (e.g., “SOH”) are standard ASCII control labels that represent a
one character control code (i.e., ^A or Ctrl A).
Attention Getter ACSIICharacter Decimal Value HEX Value
Immediate Commands SOH 1 01
System-Level Commands STX 2 02
Front Loading Commands ESC 27 1B
Easy Control Codes
DPL has been enhanced to accept a 3-character SOH and STX sequence. Easy
Control Codes are always enabled, whether in Standard, Alternate, Alternate 2, or
Custom Control Code Mode. Two types of sequences have been created to meet any
application’s requirements. Use these sequences where you normally would use a
single SOH or STX character.
These sequences will not function when the printer input mode is selected to “auto”.

Alternate Control Code Modes
For systems unable to transmit certain control codes, Alternate Control Code Modes
are available. Configuring the printer to operate in an Alternate Control Code Mode
(selected via the Setup Menu, the <STX>Kc command or, where applicable, the
<STX>KD command) requires the substitution of Standard Control Characters with
Alternate Control Characters in what is otherwise a normal data stream.
