Chapter 7—Commands
Syntax
In the command syntax, there are a few conventions for substituting data
or indicating how data can be used:
•
p1 – pn
Indicates parameters listed separately below the command syntax.
•
[ ..... ]
Square brackets indicate optional parameters or data.
•
|
A straight vertical lines indicates alternatives.
•
"Name"
Enter the name of the form or graphic within double quotation marks
(ASCII 34 dec.), for example "Intermec".
•
"DATA"
e data could be from another source such as a .PCX file, a database,
or entered by the operator. "Data" designates the place in the com-
mand sequence to input the data.
Because the firmware uses " " (ASCII 34 dec.), you need a special
designator if you need to print text or bar codes which include these
quotation marks
1
. e backslash character "\" (ASCII 92 dec.) serves
that purpose:
To print: " enter: " \" "
To print: "ABC" enter: " \"ABC\" "
To print: \ enter: " \\ "
To print: \code\ enter: " \\code\\ "

/. If a 7 bit character set is selected, this syntax will not be supported.
All backslash (\) characters will be printed as entered.
•
→
Trailing arrow indicate that data continues on the next line.
Leading arrow indicate that data is continued from the previous line.
•
↵
Indicates a linefeed character (LF; ASCII 10 dec.), also see Commands
in Chapter 1.
•
<name>
Alternative method for writing unprintable ASCII characters, for
example <ACK> = ASCII 06 dec.
