Unit 4: Standard Command Codes
“i” Programming Reference

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. This command must be
present in every print job.
EXAMPLE
<ESC>A
<ESC>H0100<ESC>V0100<ESC>XB1SATO
<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 CAN code if using the Bi-Com.
When used with the Sequential Numbering (<ESC>F) command, the value specified for print quantity
should be equal to the number of sequential values desired.
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”.
