SATO GL4xxe SBPL Programming Reference
Identifies the program as a CL612e RS232C port
print label. The "REM" prevents this data from
being sent to the printer and displays it only on
the screen.
Sets the"E$"string as an <ESC>character.
Opens the COM1 port for output and sets the
parameters as 9600 baud, No parity, 8 Data bits,
1 Stop bit and instructs the port to ignore the CTS
and DSR control signals.
Sends an <STX> (ASCII Code a decimal "2") to
the printer instructing it to prepare to receive a
message.
Sends an "<ESC>A" command code to Print Port
#1 opened by statement 20 above.
E$; Sends the data "SATO" to be placed 400 dots
horizontally and 100 dots vertically on the label
and printed in the "XL" auto smoothed font.
Instructs the printer to print a quantity of one
label.
Informs the printer that the last command has
been sent and printing can occur.
Sends an <ETX> (ASCII Code decimal "3")
informs the printer of message end.
Identifies the program as a CL612e RS232C port
