^PQ

^PQ

The
^PQ
 command gives control over several printing operations. It controls the number of labels to print, the number of labels printed before printer pauses, and the number of replications of each serial number.

Print Quantity

Format:
^PQq,p,r,o,e
Parameters
Details
q =
 total quantity of labels to print
Values:
1
 to
99,999,999
Default:
1
p =
 pause and cut value (labels between pauses)
Values:
1
 to
99,999,999
Default:
0
 (no pause)
r =
 replicates of each serial number
Values:
0
 to
99,999,999
 replicates
Default: :
0
 (no replicates)
o =
 override pause count
Values:
N =
 no
Y =
 yes
Default:
N
e =
 cut on error label (RFID void is an error label)
Values:
N =
 no - if a cutter is installed, a cut will be made after a voided RIFD label ONLY if a cut would be made after the non-voided label and this was the last retry.
Y =
 yes - if a cutter is installed, a cut will be made after ANY voided RFID label.
Default:
 Y
If the
o
 parameter is set to
Y
, the printer cuts but does not pause, and the printer does
not
 pause after every group count of labels has been printed. With the
o
 parameter set to
N
 (default), the printer pauses after every group count of labels has been printed.
Example:
 This example shows the control over print operations:
^PQ50,10,1,Y
: This example prints a total of 50 labels with one replicate of each serial number. It prints the total quantity in groups of 10, but does not pause after every group.
^PQ50,10,1,N
: This example prints a total of 50 labels with one replicate of each serial number. It prints the total quantity in groups of 10, pausing after every group.
