SLCS Programming Manual 1-4 Programming Considerations 1) All commands are case-sensitive and some commands require one or more parameters and ‘Data’. 2) Command Conventions Tp1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6,p7,p8,p9,’TEXT DATA’ Parameters Command Specific Data Command 3) Each command line must be terminated with a ‘CR’(0Dh, 13) + ‘LF’(0Ah,10). 4) The commands which draw text, barcode, lines… just draw on the image buffer, they do not start printing. The printer will start printing when the P command comes.
