Special Label Formatting Command Functions
Two Special Label Formatting Commands, the <STX>S and the <STX>T, are entered
directly into the data field of label format records. (Do not confuse them with System-
Level Commands because the same control character is used.) If alternate control
codes are enabled the <STX> becomes “~” (hexadecimal 0x7E); see Control Code
Command Functions.
Label Formatting Character Command Description
<STX>D Print adjusted date
<STX>S Recall global data and place in field
<STX>T Print time and date
STX D Print adjusted date
This command prints the adjusted date generated by the ‘t’ label formatting
command. Using string characters, allows the adjusted date data to be selected and
printed. In addition, the <STX>D may be preceded by data to be printed/encoded,
and/or the string may be terminated by an <STX> command followed by more data,
then <CR> terminated. The string characters are not printed; instead, the label will
show the corresponding print value.
