1. Foreword
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 SATO BARCODE PRINTERS.
We at SATO 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 be

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’
Parameters Command 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.
‘DATA’ : The various data types can be used in the data field as followings.
1) Fixed text string : ‘ Text String’
2) Var iable declared in template by SV command : Vnn
3) Counter declared by the SC command : Cn
4) In the Code 128, when send data to printer if codeset selection commands
Quiet zone with = p9 × narrow bar width(p4)
(>A,>B,>C) will be used codeset can be selected.
By using >A, Codeset will be set Codese t A.
By using >B, Codeset will be set Codeset B.
By using >C, Codeset will be set Codeset C.
If Codeset select command is not used, automatically set to Auto-mode.
