Unit 4: Standard Command Codes

E/Pro Programming Reference

4-3 PN: 9001096E

PRINT QUANTITY

FUNCTION

To specify the total quantity of labels to print for a given print job.

FORMAT

<ESC>Qaaaaaa

aaaaaa = Total number of labels to print (1 to 999999)

Place just preceding <ESC>Z, unless <ESC>~ exists, then preceding that command. This

command must be present in every print job.

EXAMPLE

<ESC>A

<ESC>H0100<ESC>V0100<ESC>WB1SATO

<ESC>Q3

<ESC>Z

OUTPUT

Three labels containing the data “SATO” will be printed.

NOTES

To cancel a print job, turn off the printer or send the <ESC>CAN code if using the Bi-Com mode. Multi-

Buffer jobs can be cleared with the Clear Print Job (<ESC>*) and Memory command.

When used with the Sequential Numbering (<ESC>F) command, the Print Quantity value should be

equal to the total number of labels to be printed.

If a Print Quantity is not specified, the printer will not print a label.

For this command, leading zeroes do not have to be entered. The command “Q1” is equivalent to

“Q000001”.
