~NR - Set All Network Printers Transparent
Puts every printer on an RS-485 network into transparent mode, so all of them accept what follows.
~NR makes every printer on an RS-485 multi-drop network transparent,
whatever ID or mode each printer was in. A transparent printer no longer filters on
the network ID that ^NI set, so all of them act on everything that
follows. ~NR is therefore a broadcast switch and not a per-printer setting,
and no command switches filtering back on. Normal operation resumes when ~NC
addresses a single printer again.
Syntax
~NRSupport
Accepted and skipped, because it configures the printer rather than the label. It cannot change the rendered output, and Labelary skips it too.
Changes which physical printers on a bus listen, not what any of them prints. The renderer does not parse this command. It reports IGNORED_COMMAND at info severity, which does not reach X-Warnings. Labelary is also silent, so the rendered label is identical in both engines. — not pinned by a test
Labelary renders this command.
Parameters
~NR takes no arguments.
Behavior
~NR takes no arguments. The guide restricts it to RS-485 printer
communications, with ~NC, ^NI and ~NT, and ~NT is the single-printer
form of the same idea.
A rendering request has one recipient, and no bus to broadcast on.
The renderer ignores this command and reads no arguments. It reports
IGNORED_COMMAND at info severity, which does not reach the X-Warnings
header. Labelary is also silent, so the rendered label is identical in both
engines.
~NR alone is not a printable request. It renders no page, here or on
Labelary, and must accompany a format.
Example
Broadcasting a format to every printer on the network. The rendered result is the format on its own:
~NR
^XA
^FO40,60^A0N,50,50^FDAll printers^FS
^XZ
