31STX P - Character (HEX) Dump ModeThis command instructs the printer to enter the Character Hex Dump Mode(ASCII Dump / “monitor mode”). All data sent to the printer following thiscommand will be printed in the raw ASCII format. Labels must be at least fourinches (102mm) long and as wide as the maximum print width. This commandhas the same effect as turning the printer ‘On’ while pressing the FEEDbutton; in this case however, a Configuration and Test label will be printed. Toreturn to normal operation, the printer must be manually reset.(Notsupported.)STX p - Controlled PauseThe controlled pause command will cause the printer to pause only after allpreviously received commands are executed. This is often useful betweenlabel batches. (This command will not clear the pause condition, seeB).(Not supported.)STX R - Ribbon Saver On/OffThis is the only command used for the optional Ribbon Saver. This does notinstruct the Ribbon Saver when to engage, rather it turns the operation ‘On’ or‘Off’.

The printer returns a one-linemessage stating whether the module is good or bad, (no message is returnedif a module is unavailable). Feedback mode can be enabled via the menu(see the corresponding Operator’s Manual for additional information).(Alwaysreturns OK status.)STX w - Test Flash Memory ModuleThis command performs a test sequence on flash memory modules; however,the time for each test will vary (from 20 seconds up to two minutes),depending on the size of the module. The module must have the write protectswitch ‘Off’ for testing; all stored data will be destroyed. The printer respondswith ‘good’ or ‘bad’ message results for each module tested. (No modulespresent will result in no printer response.)(Always returns OK status.)STX Y - Output Sensor ValuesThis command causes the printer to respond with the sensor value status.The printer must be in feedback mode (menu setting).
