  • Page 11: Definition Of Field Attributes/Field Properties (Optional)

    SPX II Data Format 4.2 Definition of Field Attributes/Field Properties (optional) Additionally to mask set 'AM[ ] …' the possibility was created to define Explanation further field properties. In order to achieve a high flexibility, the field properties received own names/identifications. Therefore the sequence as well as the number of field properties is free.

  • Page 12: Field Name

    Data Format SPX II 4.3 Field Name Application When printing systems are connected to a computer system or machine controls, there is often the requirement that variable data is (customized) to be inserted into an existing layout. This data contents come from the superordinate computer system (database) or a machine control (e.g.
  • Page 13 SPX II Data Format As an alternative to the field index, the assignment can also be made Explanation via the field name. A change in the field index has no longer any influence, and a changed layout is still filled in the right places with variable data of the computer system/control system.
  • Page 14 Data Format SPX II For text fields, a printer-internal font must be used. The printer-internal fonts are marked by a printer symbol in the list. Export to a print file and save the layout in the external controller When the label design is finished, the label is exported to a print file.
  • Page 15 SPX II Data Format The option Create separate data file must be selected, otherwise the line (SOH)FBC---r--------(ETB) is included in the print file, which would immediately release a print procedure. By starting a print procedure, this print file (layout definition / mask definition) is transferred from the controller/computer system to the printing system first.
  • Page 16 Data Format SPX II Filling the variable fields by the controller/computer system The higher-level control can select the variable fields by the field names and set the contents. Subsequently, the print job is restarted. Example (SOH)FMB---rfilename(ETB) Loading the layout from mc (SOH)BV[ArtBez]screws(ETB) Filling the field "ArtBez"...

    Configuration & Status SPX II Series 11.1 Autostatus The print modules are equipped with an auto status function, i.e. in certain operating modes the print module actively sends the corresponding status. This can be enquired by the serial interface. To activate the auto status, the host computer has to send the following command to the print module: SOH G 1.
  • Page 107 SPX II Configuration & Status The printer sends the auto status in the following format to the host computer: SOH G 1. Byte 2. Byte ETB 1. Byte 8. Bit = start of generation 4. Bit = start cutting 7. Bit = end of generation 3.
