2-22 Packet Reference Manual
Defining the Time/Date Packet
Use the time/date packet (T) to set the printer’s time and date. The printer must contain the
optional real time clock. The printer keeps track of the date and time even when the printer is
turned off.
The clock operates on 24-hour time. For example, 4:00 pm is 16:00 hours.
See “Using Option 7 Print Time/Date” in Chapter 4 to print the current date and time in a format.
Syntax {I,T,hour,min,day,month,year | }
T1. T Time/Date Packet
T2. hour Hour in 24-hour time. Range: 0 to 23.
T3. min Minutes. Range: 0 to 59.
T4. day Day of the month. Range: 1 to 31.
T5. month Month. Range: 1 to 12.
T6. year Year (as two-digit). Range: 0 to 99.
Example {I,T,18,15,09,06,10 | }
Sets the printer’s clock to 6:15 pm June 9, 2010.
Clearing Packets from Memory
You may want to remove packets from the printer to increase memory storage capacity or if the
formats/fonts are no longer needed. In some cases, turning the printer off may clear the packets
from memory. If not, send a format clear packet.

1. header Identifies the packet. Options:
A Check Digit Scheme
F Format

W Font
2. packet# Identification number of the packet to clear (1 to 999) or font number
(0 to 9999). 0 is for all fonts (default).
3. action Action. Enter C to clear the packet.
4. device Storage Device. R is the default. Options:
F Flash
R Volatile RAM
Example {F,1,C,R | }
