14177L-003 APL-I Reference Guide 11/24/09
Format, Select
Purpose To choose a format for either data entry or output.
Syntax
<ESC>En,m
Supported Based on testing, this command works the same on the Zebra printer with
APL-I firmware as on the 3400D printer.
Default: n = 0
Values for n: *, 0-19
Va l u e s f o r m : not available
Notes Things to be aware of:
• n represents the numeric format ID and m dictates to only re-image the changed fields.
• If any page is selected other than 0, n becomes an alphanumeric format position
ranging from a-z.
• After a format is selected, the field pointer directs you to the lowest numbered data
entry field.
• For the re-imaging command to work successfully and retain the image, the printer
must be able to fully image a label within the range of available image bands.
• The printer erases all host entered/variable data from the format.
Important If an invalid format number is entered, error code 36 is generated.
Format, Transmit
Purpose To send a printer format to the host.
Syntax
<ESC>xn
Supported Based on testing, this command works the same on the Zebra printer with
APL-I firmware as on the 3400D printer.
Notes Things to be aware of:
• If <ESC>x is sent to the printer without specifying the value for n, the printer uploads
the complete format directory. The format directory is in the following format:
•
[Idnumber][name][type][storage size]<CR><LF>.
[Idnumber] is the value identified by n. [name] is the name set out in the
command that created the format.
[type] is 0. [storage size] is the amount
of memory necessary to store the format.
• If you enter an incorrect number, an error code 25 is generated.
• The printer must stay in Advanced mode.
