1. Product Description
Software
There are several methods to create formats and to send them to the printer.
Below, a short explanation of the most common methods is given.
Direct Programming
The printer is equipped with an internal command set. The command set is
designed to program all functions of the printer. To create a label format, use
any ASCII editor to combine the necessary commands. Save the commands
to a file, then copy the file to the printer using the connected interface and
HyperTerminal or the DOS COPY command.
Direct programming requires a minimum knowledge of programming logic.
The printer commands are designed logically and structured clearly. However
it is necessary to carry out several test prints when creating a label using the
command set since no image of the label is displayed on the monitor.
The complete description of the command set and sample programs is
available in the "Programming Guide".
Windows Printer Driver
Windows Printer drivers are available for the different Windows versions.
The printer can be operated from any Windows Application that supports
Windows Printer drivers. The graphical user interface allows for easier creation
of label formats. However, the functionality depends on the choosen
application and how each product supports Windows Printer drivers. There
could be restrictions depending on the application you are using. A help file is
included with the drivers to explain the usage and limitations when using
certain Windows applications.
Label Software
There are several Windows Applications that are designed to create labels.
These programs are more suited to the requirements of label printing than
standard Windows Applications. In some cases these programs use the
Windows Printer Driver.
Some applications have integrated internal drivers to operate the BP Precision
printers. These applications offer the best solution for creating and printing
labels.
