TD, Transparent Data This command specifies whether control characters perform their associated function or print as characters when labeling. Use the TD command to print characters that function only as control characters in normal mode. TD mode[;] or TD [;] Table 23-54 Parameter Format Functional Range mode clamped integer 0 or 1 Default 0 (normal) The printer interprets the parameters as follows: z No Parameters- Defaults the labeling mode to normal. Equivalent to (TD0). z Mode- Selects the normal or transparent data mode for labeling. z 0 - Normal.Control codes with an associated functionality perform their function and do not print. Refer to the symbol set tables in Appendix B of the PCL 5 Comparison Guide. z 1 - Transparent.All characters print and perform no other function (except the currently defined label terminator, which terminates the label). The printer prints a space for non-printing or undefined characters. Transparent data mode must be enabled to access printable characters which have character codes with an associated functionality in normal mode. For example, the left arrow in the PC-8 symbol set has a character code of 27. In normal mode, a character code of 27 is interpreted as an escape character (EC); in transparent data mode, a character code of 27 prints a left arrow. 23-86 The Character Group EN
