^SCSet Serial Communications
^SC configures set Serial Communications. It applies to the printer session and subsequent formats and controls printer hardware or connectivity rather than label pixels.
ZPLr compatibility note
- Recognized by the renderer but has no label-raster effect.
These are code examples only. This printer or session command does not produce a standalone label image.
aBaud rate
Sets baud rate. It can be omitted when the documented default is suitable.
- Default
must be specified or the parameter is ignored- Required
- No
0a variations
Compare values side by side; other parameters remain at representative defaults.
a = 0
Uses 0 for baud rate while the other command values stay at representative defaults.
^SC0,7,N,1,X,A
a = 1
Uses 1 for baud rate while the other command values stay at representative defaults.
