Configuration Commands
The following table lists some commands useful in controlling printer configuration.
These commands are generally effective only for the current power-up session;
toggling power restores the default configuration. See STX Kc Configuration Set for
changes to the default power-up configuration. Changing the default power-up
configuration and saving objects in printer Flash memory can reduce the data
transmitted for each label and therefore improve throughput.
