Chapter 2 - Understanding Fingerprint Syntax In instructions used in connection with communication (for example BREAK, BUSY/READY, COMSET), the keyboard/display unit and the communication channels are specified by numbers instead of names: 0 = "console:" 1 = "uart1:" 2 = "uart2:" 3 = "uart3:" 4 = "centronics:" 5 = "net1:" 6 = "usb1:" About Immediate Mode In Immediate mode, Fingerprint commands are executed when a carriage return is received. Most commands can be used in Immediate mode, but cannot be saved after execution. Immediate mode is primarily used to: • Send commands to print a single label that is not reused. • Send command strings which have been edited and saved as a file on the host computer. This method resembles "Escape sequences" used in other types of label printers. • Send commands that can be used in either Immediate or Programming mode, such as DELETE, LOAD, MERGE, NEW, REBOOT, or RUN. Any command line that does not begin with a number, but ends in a carriage return, is treated as an Immediate mode command. Sending Command Strings in Immediate Mode You can send command strings in Immediate Mode to print label formats. Command strings can be sent in a single line: PRPOS 160,250:DIR 3:ALIGN 4:FONT "Univers":PRTXT "Hello":PRINTFEED ? Or, with each command on a separate line: PRPOS 160,250 DIR 3 AN 4 FT "Univers" PT "Hello" PF Note: The last example uses command abbreviations, such as PF for PRINTFEED. Not all Fingerprint commands can be abbreviated. For more information, see the Fingerprint Command Reference Manual. 12 Fingerprint Developer's Guide
