As shown in example 5 above, font 5 only supports
upper case characters. Refer to Appendix A for a
complete listing of available fonts and character sets
supported.
Use the LE command to create reverse print text in-
stead of the “R” inthe Acommand parameter p7.
This is the recommend method because it provides
the best size, position and centering of the black line
(rectangle) bordering the reversed text.

AUTOFR Command - Au to matic Form Print ing
Description This spe cial form pro cess al lows you to de tach
the printer from the com puter and print in a
standalone mode. The LK-B10 printer reserves
the form nameAUTOFR to al low the printer to
automatically start a form when the printer is in
-
itialized power-up. This fea ture can be used in
many ways, that in clude the following:
•Feed a single label in peel mode and print
multiple la bels set to the num ber of la bels on
the roll.
•Have a form with a variable and en ter the
variable with a scanner, ter minal, weight
scale, cir cuit an alyzer or any other de vice ca -
pable of sending ASCII character data.
Mobile print ers, such as the printer, ig nore this
com
mand.

Example:
* - If us ing the CAL TOOLS, CAL WIN, etc. programs to gen er-
ate label files (files with .ejf ex tensions), then the PA com mand
must be added manually by ed iting the .ejf file.

AUTOFR - Au tomatic Form Printing Fea ture
AUTOFR treats any in coming data as a vari able in -
tended for printing. This means if you send the
printer a mem ory par tition command, the la bel will
print, if you send a delete com mand - the la bel will
print! So, while you are testing AUTOFR it is best to
use an other name for the form. Once you are sat is-
fied with the form, re
name it AUTOFR be
fore you
download it. There is no need to specify a file ex
ten-
sion.
Isolating Data From
the Input Device
Place the printer in the di agnostic dump mode
and send from your data in put de vice.
•All char acters the de
vice sends will be printed
on the la bel.
• If noth ing prints, nothing is ar riving - check
pin-outs and se rial settings.
Disabling AUTOFR Send a XOFF data char acter (13 hex. or ASCII
19) or a NUL (00 hex. or ASCII 0) to the printer.
The form may now be deleted from the printer.
Removing AUTOFR The pro grammer must send a De lete Form - FK
command to the printer af ter dis abling
AUTOFR.
Example: FK"AUTOFR"�
FK"AUTOFR"�

Function Characters
The printer sup ports code 128 func tion con trol
char ac ters (FCN#). Mul ti ple FCN#s, TTs, TDs
and “DATA” strings can be con catenated, al -
lowing them to be in serted any where within the
sym bol.
FCN2, FCN3 and FCN4 are il legal in code
128 mode C (p4 = 1C) and will re sult in a syn -
tax error.
Please re fer to the Code 128 stan
dard for a de
-
scrip tion of func tion char ac
tersFNC1 through
FNC3.
“Standard” Code 128 can encode all 128 stan-
dard ASCII char
acters (0-127). Func
tion char
-
ac
ter FCN4 pro vides a means of also encoding
extended ASCII char acters (128-255). It di rects
the reader to add 128 to the value of each af
-
fected char ac ter be fore trans mit ting it.
Two con sec u tive FCN4s tog gle be tween stan
-
dard and ex tended ASCII mode for all suc
ceed-
ing data characters (un til the end of the sym bol,
or un til an other pair of s is en countered). This is
referred to as latch ing into ex tended ASCII
mode or latching into standard ASCII mode.

B Com mand - Bar Code
Code 128 Bar Code
Function Characters
(continued)
A sin gle FCN4 tog gles be tween stan dard and
extended ASCII mode for only a single fol low-
ing data char acter. This is re ferred to as shift ing
into ex tended ASCII mode or shift ing into stan
-
dard ASCII mode.
Both code sets A and B are needed to rep resent
the en tire ex tended ASCII char acter set, just as
both sets are needed to rep resent the stan dard
ASCII char ac ter set.
FCN4s can be in
serted manually, if nec
essary
or de sired, by following the syn tax de scribed
above. The printer will, however, in sert them
au to mat i cally if ex tended ASCII char ac ters are
encountered in the DATA. It will do so in the
most ef
fi cient man ner pos si ble:
•If up to 4 contiguous ex tended ASCII charac-
ters are en countered, it will shift into extended
ASCII mode by inserting a sin gle FCN4 be -
fore each one;
•If 5 or more con tiguous ex tended ASCII char-
acters are en countered, it will latch into ex -
tended ASCII mode by inserting twoFCN4s
be fore them.
•While latched into ex tended ASCII mode, it
will ap ply the same rules if stan dard ASCII
char
ac ters are en coun
tered.
Thus, the pre ferred way to en code ex tended
ASCII characters is to sim
ply em bed them in the
DATA and let the printer manage the en
coding
task. For best results, the code set should also
not be spec ified (i.e., p4 = 1). FCN4 s should be
manually in serted only in sys tems where ex
-
tended ASCII char acters can not be trans mitted
to the printer.
It is il legal to mix au tomatic and manual modes
within the data for a sin gle symbol; i.e., an ex tended
ASCII char acter en countered in the data af ter an will
be con sidered a syntax er ror. Likewise, an FCN4 af
-
ter an extended ASCII char
acter will also be con
sid-
ered a syntax er ror.
