In this chapter, the basic concept of SLCS and some information necessary for the
programmer to use SLCS will be explained. Please read this part before starting
programming for efficient and easy use of Oki Data Label Printers.
We at Oki Data maintain ongoing efforts to enhance and upgrade the functions and quality
of all our products. In following, product specifications and/or user manual content may

1) Maximum size
A) When using Double Buffering Function
832dots × 1216dots (104mm × 152mm) = 4 inch × 6 inch
B) When using Single Buffering Function
832dots × 2432dots (104mm × 304mm) = 4 inch × 12 inch
2) Dot size : 0.125mm(W) × 0.125mm(H) (203dpi)

1-4 Programming Considerations
1) All commands are case-sensitive and some commands require one or more parameters
and ‘Data’.
2) Command Conventions
Tp1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6,p7,p8,p9,’TEXT DATA’
ParametersCommand Specific Data
Command
3) Each command line must be terminated with a ‘CR’(0Dh, 13) + ‘LF’(0Ah,10).
4) The commands which draw text, barcode, lines… just draw on the image buffer, they do
not start printing. The printer will start printing when the P command comes.
! Caution
The ‘P’ command must be terminated by ‘CR’(0x0d). If not, the printer will not start
printing until ‘CR’ comes.

Quiet zone is added to the front and end of the barcode for safe scanning.
Because of the quiet zone, the barcode seems to be seen drawn in incorrect
position. If p9 is not used, the printer automatically sets parameter to 0.
Quiet zone with = p9 narrow bar width(p4)

2-1-9 P (Print)
Description
Let the printer start printing the content of image buffer
Syntax
Pp1,[p2]
Parameters
p1 : Number of label sets : 1 ~ 65535
p2 : Number of copies of each label : 1 ~ 65535
The P command cannot be used in a template sequence. If printing command is needed
in template sequence, then use the PV command(See the example of next page).
! Caution
The ‘P’ command should be terminated by ‘CR’(0x0d). If not, the printer will not start
to print until ‘CR’ comes.
Page 34
LD630/LD640
- 34 -
Example
(1) In case of Using P ( P is used outside of template sequence)
TS’TPL_TST1’ // Start Template Store
SV00,15,N,’Model Name :’ // Declare variable V00
T50,100,3,1,1,0,0,N,N,’Model Name :’V00 // T command with variable
TE // End Template Store
TR’TPL_TST1”// Recall stored template ‘TPL_TST1’
? // Get content of variable used in recalled template
LD630 // Content of variable V00
P3,2 // when using P command, It must not be inside
template,
// but be used after recalling the template and entering
the contents of all variables.
// After P command, printer starts printing.
(2) In case of Using PV(PV is used inside of template sequence

Parameters
p1 : Direct Thermal / Thermal Transfer

- t : Thermal Transfer
LD630/LD640
2-2-2 SM (Set Margin)
Description
Set marginal value of the image buffer.
This command moves the origin point (0,0) to (p1,p2) and make (p1,p2) become the new
- The step quantity defined by user can’t exceed printer’s default feeding quantity.
- 0 means printer’s default feeding quantity.
LD630/LD640
This option is useful for the continuous paper or black mark media with perforation line
away from black mark.
The printer’s default back feeding step quantity depends on the printer models and
printer modes such as normal, peeler or cutter.
Examples)
SF0 → Disable Printer’s back-feeding option.
SF1 → Default quantity of Back feed is executed before printing.
SL1,0 → Default quantity of Back feed is executed before printing.
SL1,100 → 100 step’s Back feed is executed before printing.
SL0,100 → Back feed is disabled and p2(100) is ignored.

Gap
C

Black Mark
Description
Set length of label and gap(or Black Mark) and specify media type.
Syntax
SLp1,p2(,p3)(,p4)
Parameters
p1 : Label length [dots] : Maximum 2432 dots(12 inch)
Double buffering feature can be used only when label length(p1) is less
than 1216(2432/2, 6inch) dots.
If p1 is over 1216 dots, the double buffering feature will be automatically
released.
So if you don’t use double buffering feature, you can design maximum
2432 dots(12 inch) size label.
p2 : Gap length or thickness of black line [dots]
LD630/LD640
p3 : Media Type
If this parameter is not used, automatically set to G(Gap type).
The default value of label length is 6 inch(1216 dots)
This command sets the length of image buffer and the printer will print
and form feed as much as the length set by this command.
When using Continuous type media, the label length must be set.
p4 : Offset Length between Black Mark(or Gap) and perforation line [dots]
This parameter is valid when p3 parameter is used.
Examples)
SL1200,20 → Gap media,Media length:1200dots,Gap length:20dots
SL1200,20,C → Continuuous media,Media length:1200dots,Gap length:20dots
SL1200,20,G → Gap media,Media length:1200dots,Gap length:20dots
SL1200,20,B → Black Mark media,Media length:1200dots,Gap length:20dots The perforation line is on the black mark.
SL1200,20,B,200 → Black Mark media,Media length:1200dots,Gap length:20dots The perforation line is 200 dots behind from black mark.
In the Gap Mode, the printer will form feed until meeting the next gap.
In the Continuous Mode, the printer will form feed as much as label length set by SL.
In the B/M Mode, the printer will form feed until meeting the next B/M.

RLE compression
This is the algorithm to compress the continuous data.
The compression is applied to 0x00 & 0xff data but not the others.
0xff 0x04 data is created if 0xff is repeated four times like 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00.
In the same way, 0x00 0x04 is created by four times repeats of 0x00 such as 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00.
Here is the example of compression.
