  • Page 66: Printing Lines And Boxes

    4.9 Printing Lines and Boxes Lines and boxes can be created by requesting font “X” from within the LABEL COMMAND interpreter. The horizontal and vertical multipliers work with the line and box routines in the same manner as human readable fonts. The format of the data area is as follows: Lhhhvvv Where L = L to specify line drawing (solid box)
  • Page 67 2. The Printer begins to look for strings terminated by ASCII CRs (DEC 13, HEX 0D). The interpreter takes the data in the string and places the appropriate pieces into the appropriate registers. Whenever the Printer encounters an ASCII control code that has a value of less than 32, the data is not accepted.
  • Page 68 THE PRINTER IS HERE 123456 ROTATION 1 HOME POSITION FIGURE 4-2 4. After the rotation field, the next character received is the font type. It must be one of the characters 0 through 8 to select a human readable font or A through L to select a bar code font. Uppercase bar code fonts will print with human readable interpretation, lowercase bar code fonts do not include the interpretation.
  • Page 69 If the font selected is a bar code, this character specifies the wide bar width. The range of allowable values for bar code fonts is 1 to 9 and A through K. This range will give a wide bar width of 0.005" to 0.300"...
  • Page 70 8. The next four digits, bytes 8 through 11, are the vertical offset. This offset determines the placement, from the home position, of the data that is specified at the end of the string received. The home position is the lower left hand corner of the next print media currently held under the printhead.
  • Page 71 12. After the last field is sent, the host device terminates the formatting session by sending an ASCII “E” (DEC 69, HEX 45) as a single character string terminated by an ASCII CR (DEC 13, HEX 0D). The label Printer will print the label from the field registers created and return to the SYSTEM command processor.

  • Page 72: Register Loading

    The first string “132100001000050TEST 123” is defined as the register number “01” in the Printer. On the label, it appears as the human readable message “TEST 123” located above the bar code. You can see from the sample label that the data printed in the standard left-to-right rotation “1”, in font “3”, at a 2X width and 1X height magnification.
  • Page 73 The ASCII character STX G is sent to instruct the Printer to print a label from its internal register data. After the label has finished printing, the host device may send additional STX G characters to print additional copies of the same label. The host device may also reload a particular register with new data and send another STX G command.

  • Page 74: Label Formatting Commands

    4.12 Label Formatting Commands There are several commands listed in the label formatting tables in Section 4.5 that have not been covered in the examples. This section examines these commands. The following commands are sent to the Printer after the STX L command, which causes the Printer to switch from the SYSTEM level command processor to the LABEL FORMATTING command processor.
  • Page 75 The control on the front of the Printer labeled “DARKER” —>” is for matching replacement printheads to the Printer during the head replacement procedure. It has very little control over the actual burn temperature used for imaging. This command is beneficial when the Printer is used with several different media types.
  • Page 76 4. “Pa” COMMAND. SETTING THE PRINT SPEED. The print speed of the Printer can be adjusted by the host device to meet specific requirements of particular applications. The command “Pa” will set the print speed according to the single digit represented by the “a”...
  • Page 77 7. “+pii...” COMMAND. THE INCREMENT FUNCTION. The Printer formatter is capable of incrementing data fields between each print. To cause a field to increment, send the field in the normal manner to the Printer. After the ASCII CR that terminates the field, send the string “+pii...”...
  • Page 78 The “-” character may be replaced by a “<” character to make the field decrement alphanumerically instead of just numerically. To generate a single field label format that prints the first label with a value of 10000 and decrements by 1 for three labels, refer to the following commands: 000 0000 0000 10000 CR -01 CR...

  • Page 79: System And Formatting Commands

    10. PLACE DATA IN GLOBAL REGISTER The Printer also contains a utility for printing duplicate data fields (for example, several different places on a label). After a field has been created, the “G” command may be sent as the next string to the Printer.
  • Page 80 1. “SOH A” COMMAND. CHECKING THE PRINTER STATUS. The Printer can be polled as to the current Printer status. The SYSTEM command to cause the Printer to send this data is “SOH The Printer will respond as soon as it is able to with an 8-character response followed by an ASCII CR (DEC 13, HEX 0D).
  • Page 81 4. “STX Vn” COMMAND. SETTING THE PSEUDO SWITCHES. Switch SW1, mounted on the back of the Printer, is read on power- up or on soft reset. The positions of switches 5 through 8 can be modified through this command. Send “STX Vn” where “n” is a hex value of 0 to F to define the settings.

  • Page 82: Controlling Print Quality

    6. “O####” COMMAND. CHANGING THE DEFAULT LABEL OFFSET. The “O####” command changes the label offset. The Printer will accept the “####” string to be in the range of 0000 to 0999. The Printer normally stops the label media at 0.20" past the printhead. This means that the last label printed is still attached to the label backing and can be removed by an operator.
  • Page 83 You will find that printing fine images on the less expensive direct thermal and thermal transfer media at the higher speeds can be tricky. At one heat setting the image will fade and at the next higher heat setting the image can bleed. This is because the reaction temperature of the media is so high that at higher rates of speed, it cannot react quick enough.

  • Page 85: Using The Printer's Internal Labeling Software

    Using the Printer's Internal Labeling Software The program is very easy to learn and operate. Just two screens are used to create or modify and then print labels. A system maintenance screen is included for printing test labels, copying and formatting memory modules, and several other functions.

  • Page 90 6. Now you need to decide how to partition the module’s memory. The memory module can be configured into two single 16K banks or joined together into one continuous bank. The two banks are referred to as bank A and bank B. For most applications involving the internal batch program, you should format the module so that bank A and B are both formatted to accept label formats.

  • Page 91: Function Keys

    5.2 Function Keys Four function keys are used extensively in the label formatting process. They are labeled F1, F2, F3, and F4. These keys have the following functions: F1 or ESC (SWITCH) Toggles between the PRINT and CREATE/MODIFY LABEL screens. F1 can only be used in the LABEL NAME: position of the CREATE/MODIFY or PRINT screens.

  • Page 92: Alt Keys

    5.2.1 ALT Keys Several very important and powerful Printer settings are called up and/or controlled by the ALT key. To use the ALT functions, press and hold the ALT key as you press another key. The ALT functions are: ALT-P While in the far left position (ROT) of the CREATE/MODIFY LABEL screen or the SAMPLE? position of the PRINT LABEL screen, press ALT-P to bring up the PRINT PARAMETERS window.
  • Page 93 Valid settings, defaults, and a description of each print parameter are listed below: HEAT FACTOR: 0 to 20. Default is 10. PRINT RATE: A to G. A = 1 inch/sec. G = 4 inches/sec. Default is E (3.0 inches/sec.). SLEW RATE: A to G.
  • Page 94 If ALT-P parameters are changed while in the CREATE/MODIFY LABEL screen, the changes are saved with the label format. If they are changed in the PRINT LABEL screen, they are not saved and will affect only the current print job. Changing parameters in the PRINT LABEL screen is useful when testing a new label to determine optimum print parameter settings for that particular format.

  • Page 95: Other Important Keys

    5.3 Other Important Keys Several other keys are used in the editing and printing steps. These keys have the following functions: RETURN Enters an answer for the prompt and moves to the next position if the answer is acceptable. ARROW KEYS Used to move left and right and up and down in the CREATE/MODIFY and PRINT screens.
  • Page 96 PRINT LABEL LABEL NAME: QUANTITY:0 Press the F1 key, and the screen will look like this: CREATE/MODIFY LABEL DIRECTORY: MEMORY LEFT:99% LABEL NAME:----------------------- ROT FNT XW XH BH ROW COL TYPE DATA/PROMPT --- --- -- -- -- --- --- ---- ----------- 2.

  • Page 98 The “X” font selects box and line drawing. Later, in the DATA/PROMPT field, you will enter the following format for lines or boxes: LINES: Lhhhvvv Where: L = “L” specifies line drawing hhh = horizontal width of line vvv = vertical height of line NOTE: Reverse printing is accomplished by printing a very high (or wide) solid line.
  • Page 99 6. The XW and XH positions are used to magnify widths and heights of fonts and to change the X/Y ratio of bar codes. a. If a font, valid responses are 1, 2, 4, and 8. Default is 1 for fonts.
  • Page 100 Enter up to a 4-digit number for the desired vertical placement of your field, followed by the RETURN key. If the measurement you have entered is acceptable, the prompt moves to the COL position. If the measurement you select is too large for the given space or the capability of the Printer, the following error message will appear: NUMBER OUT OF RANGE You will have to re-enter the data.
  • Page 101 11. The TYPE position tells the Printer how the DATA/PROMPT area is to be used. You have eight choices: C, D, P, R, +, -, <, and >. a. The most common TYPE is “D” for data. It tells the Printer that fixed data will be entered in this field.
  • Page 102 If any of the above are entered, you will be printing either incrementing or decrementing numbers or letters in the label position you specified earlier in this field. Information you add in the DATA/PROMPT field in the next step will tell the Printer by what increment you want to count.
  • Page 103 Use the DEL or HOME key or the arrow keys to change any information. Also, if the Printer does not allow you to enter as many characters as you need, you may have to back up with the arrow keys to allow more room on the label or change font size. For special font “X”, enter the required information.

  • Page 127: Bar Code Examples

    IV Bar Code Examples A: Identifies the Code 3 of 9 bar code. Code 39 is an uppercase, alphanumeric bar code that is variable in length. The valid ASCII characters for this font are: 32, 36-37, 42-43, 45-47, 48- 57, 65-90. Code 3 of 9’s normal wide to narrow bar ratio is 3:1. 203 DPI Printer 152 DPI Printer B: Identifies the UPC-A bar code.
  • Page 128 Option V: Identifies Random Weight UPC bar code. The seventh digit supplied by the host or application software must be an uppercase V followed by 4 digit weight information. Eleven digit checksum is supplied by the Printer. 203 DPI Printer 152 DPI Printer C: Identifies the truncated UPC-E bar code.
  • Page 129 D: Identifies the Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code. I 2 of 5 is a numeric- only code. The ASCII range for the numeric codes is 48-57. Code I 2 of 5’s normal wide to narrow bar ratio is 5:2. (Maximum 8 bar codes per label.) 203 DPI Printer 152 DPI Printer...
  • Page 130 Code Subset B includes all of the standard upper case alphanumeric keyboard characters plus lower case alphabetic and special characters. To select Code Subset B, precede the data to be encoded with an ASCII B (DEC 66, HEX 42). If no start character is sent for the 128 font, Code Subset B will be selected by default.
  • Page 131 Control Codes: Control characters can be encoded into Code Subset A by sending the lowercase ASCII characters “a-z”, “a” = SOH, “b” = STX, “c” = ETX and so on. Font Sizing: Font sizing for 128 on Rotation #2 is not consistent because of the variable character code to character correlation.
  • Page 132 F: Identifies the standard EAN-13 bar code. Numeric-only bar code; fixed in length. Twelve digits supplied by host or application software, 13th digit checksum supplied by Printer. If the 13th digit is sent by the host, the Printer will check that character against the calculated checksum and will print the bar code as all zero if they do not match.
  • Page 133 G: Identifies the truncated EAN-8 bar code. Numeric-only bar code; fixed in length. Seven digits supplied by host or application software, 8th digit supplied by the Printer. If the 8th digit is sent by the host, the Printer will check that character against the calculated checksum and will print the bar code as all zero if they do not match.
  • Page 134 H: Identifies the HIBC (modulo 43 checksum) version of the code 3 of 9 bar code. The checksum will be placed at the end of the data string that is received from the host. The host device must supply the leading “+”s to identify the data format type. Code 39 is an uppercase, alphanumeric bar code that is variable in length.
  • Page 135 J: Identifies an I 2 of 5 bar code with modulo 10 checksum calculation. The ASCII range for the numeric codes is 48-57. Code I 2 of 5’s normal wide to narrow bar ratio is 5:2. Font D and L also print different forms of the I 2 of 5 bar code. Maximum 8 bar codes per label.
  • Page 136 L: Identifies an I 2 of 5 bar code with modulo 10 checksum (UPC shipping container symbology) that does the special human readable formatting and adds bearer bars to the top and bottom of bars when encoding 13 digits. The ASCII range for the numeric codes is 48-57.
  • Page 137 M: Identifies the 2 digit addendum code for UPC fonts. It is a numeric-only bar code with a fixed length of 3 characters. Two characters supplied by the host or application software, the third digit checksum supplied by Printer. If the third digit is sent by the host, the Printer will check that character against the calculated checksum and will print the bar code as all zero if they do not match.
  • Page 138 N: Identifies the 5 digit addendum code for UPC fonts. It is a numeric-only bar code with a fixed length of 6 characters. Five characters supplied by the host or application software, the sixth digit checksum supplied by Printer. If the sixth digit is sent by the host, the Printer will check that character against the calculated checksum and will print the bar code as all zero if they do not match.
  • Page 139 O: Identifies the Code 93 bar code. Code 93 is an upper and lower case alpha numeric bar code. The normal ratios that the Printer can print are 1:1, 2:2, 3:3, 4:4, 6:6, and 8:8. These numbers actually specify size of magnification and are element based; not ratio based.
