SET PRINTKEY - Print-Key Behaviour

ConfigurationUnsupported

Plain English

Configures the front-panel print-key behaviour (TSPL2 PG §SET PRINTKEY p140). OFF disables the print key; ON makes a single press print one label; AUTO triggers auto-repeat printing while the key is held; a numeric value `<n>` prints N labels per press. Persistent across power cycles.

When to use

When the operator workflow expects the front-panel print key to behave differently from the default single-shot — e.g. AUTO for a print-while-held demo mode, or numeric for fixed-count batches.

Syntax

SET PRINTKEY OFF | SET PRINTKEY ON | SET PRINTKEY AUTO | SET PRINTKEY <n>

Parameters
