Shown below is an example where a stand-alone PAL
database is stored in the printer. Operator input combined with internal database
information is used to create a label. For example, this application could request
a part number and physical dimensions of a particular part by prompting for this
information on the printer LCD. After the operator inputs the requested
information on the PS/2 or USB Host keyboard, the printer could calculate the
volume, and then based on the part number, lookup the part description in a
database to produce a label.
