6.11.1 MESSAGE DISPLAY COMMAND
[ESC] XJ
Function
Displays the message on the LCD.
Format
[ESC] XJ; aaa ------ aaa [LF] [NUL]
Term
aaa ------ aaa: Display data (16 digits)
Explanation
(1) When the printer receives the Message Display Command, first it processes the
already received data (or completes the label issue if the data print command has
been sent). Then, it displays the message on the LCD, and finally it enters a
pause state.
(2) When the [PAUSE] key is pressed, the pause state is cleared and the LCD
displays the normal message. After the pause state is cleared, the printer
resumes processing the data received after the Message Display Command.
Notes
(1) The number of characters to be displayed is 16. When the display data is less
than 16 characters, the blanks are filled with spaces. When the display data
exceeds 16 characters, the excess data will be discarded.
(2) During a pause state, a halt due to an error, or a head open state, the Message
Display Command is not processed even if it is received. In this case, the
command is processed after the above state is cleared.
(3) The following characters can be displayed on the LCD.
If any character other than the mentioned below is received, “?” is displayed or a
command error occurs.
