Chapter 7 — Commands
126 ESim for the PC4 and PF8 Printer Programmer’s Reference Manual
An ^@ command cannot be performed anywhere else, such as:
• during downloading of images, fonts, or forms.
• inside a variable input (?) or inside a string area (“”).
• when the input data buffer is full (> 8000 bytes).
^A - Enter Pause Printing Mode
Purpose: When batch printing, this high-priority command finishes the
current label and temporarily suspends printing any further labels
in the print job.
Syntax: ^A
Remarks: When the printer is in Pause mode, the control LED slowly
blinks green, orange, and green again. The reply at command US
is by default <NAK>92<XOFF> (can be changed using eR
command). No reply at UN command.
To resume printing a batch, send the command ^C or press the
Feed key.
To cancel the remainder of the print job, use the ^B command.
This command can only be sent via the RS-232 or USB ports.
Example:
This example renders a box and orders the printer to print 4
copies. At command ^A, the printing is paused and continued
again at command ^C.
X0,0,10,20,40

Note: An error report has higher priority than other commands
and is processed directly, both in position of normal command
input and in position of any error recovery.
