RTC ZPL II Commands

^SL

05/25/2005 47867L-001 Rev. A

^SL

Set Mode/Language

Description The ^SL command is used to specify the Real-Time Clock’s mode of operation

and language for printing information.

Format

^SLa,b

This table identifies the parameters for this format:

Notes •

•The ^SL command must be placed before the first ^FO command.

• As of V60.13.0.10 all supported printers have Enhanced Real Time Clock capabilities the

RTC will not print time fields that are more than sixty seconds old, rather it will update the

time prior to printing (^SLT or ^

SL60). To control time with increments other than sixty

seconds the

^SL command can be used with a numeric value (^SL30).

^SLS can keep times longer than sixty seconds.

Parameters Details

a = mode Accepted Values:

S = Start Time Mode. This is the time that is read from the Real Time Clock when

label formatting begins (when

^XA is received). The first label has the same time

placed on it as the last label.

T = Time Now Mode. This is the time that is read from the Real Time Clock when

the label to be printed is placed in print queue. Time Now is similar to a serialized

time or date field.

Numeric Value = With the Enhanced Real Time Clock (V60.13.0.10 and above) a

time accuracy tolerance can be specified. Range = 1 to 999 seconds, 0 = one

second tolerance

Example: SL30,1 = Accuracy tolerance of 30 seconds and use English.

Default Value: S

Important •

• Time is read when the image is created. If the image stays in the queue longer than the

specified time the image will be recreated with a new time.

• There are incidents when the same time or a larger space of time may be printed on labels.

This is due to the format complexity and print speed.
