SET - Printer Configuration Dispatcher

ConfigurationUnsupported

Plain English

Generic printer-configuration dispatcher (TSPL2 PG §SET p132–148). The first word after SET picks the setting being changed. Engine-recognised sub-actions cover the full PG-documented set except GAP, which requires lexer-mode disambiguation (tracked separately). All SET settings are persistent across power cycles unless the sub-page says otherwise (RIBBON is non-persistent). Engine-recognised but not rendered — labels with SET configure the printer hardware rather than producing label content.

When to use

For advanced printer configuration — cutter control, tear-off settings, peel-off mode, ribbon/head sensor mode, counters, front-panel key remap, network/host config. Best placed once at the top of a label setup script; settings persist until changed.

Syntax

SET <sub-action> <args>
