Communications (continued)
Displayed Menu Item Details
DHCP
Dynamic Host Control Protocol. Automatically assigns an IP
address from a DHCP Server.
ENABLED
DHCP is enabled by default. This means that the card will send a
broadcast into the network on start-up in order to receive an IP
Address from the responsible server.
WARNING: An IP Address assigned by DHCP has precedence over
any stored static IP Address.
DISABLED
Disables DHCP.
 Note: Select this option to ensure that any stored static IP is used by
the NIC Adapter.
SET FACTORY DEFAULTS
Restore the current NIC Adapter settings to the factory defaults.
HOST SETTINGS ♦
Settings that affect all communications with a host.
HOST TIMEOUT
10 SEC (1-60)
The number of seconds a communications port must be idle before
the printer may process data from a different port. This value is also
used to “timeout” an image / label format download (i.e., if, at any
time, data flow stops before a complete label format is received, the
data will be ignored).
CONTROL CODES
Allows the operator to change the prefix of the software commands
interpreted by the printer.
STANDARD CODES
Hex 01 = SOH command; Hex 02 = STX command; count-by = ^;
Hex 1B = ESC; Hex 0x0D = Carriage Return
ALTERNATE CODES
Hex 5E = SOH command; Hex 7E = STX command; count-by =
@; Hex 1B = ESC; Hex 0x0D = Carriage Return
ALTERNATE CODES 2
Hex 5E = SOH command; Hex 7E = STX command; count-by =
@; Hex 1B = ESC; Hex 0x7C = Carriage Return
CUSTOM CODES
Each DPL command (SOH, STX, CR, and count-by) may be
selected by entering the desired Hex code. (The  and  Keys will
scroll the characters, while the ENTER Key selects character and
then advances the cursor.)
FEEDBACK CHARACTERS
Returns a Hex 1E, [RS], after each label successfully prints, and a
Hex 1F, [US], after each batch of labels is printed.
ENABLED
Feedback characters are sent to the host.
DISABLED
No feedback characters are sent.
ESC SEQUENCES
Allows data containing invalid ESC control code sequences to be
processed; helpful since some systems send a “banner” to the
printer.
ENABLED
Normal printer operating mode.
DISABLED
ESC sequences are ignored and the data is processed. Bitmapped
font downloads are disabled in this mode.
