LCD prompt
cab printers offer the feature that a standard PC keyboard can be connected the printers. It requires
a specific adapter for the usage with Apollo and Hermes printers. A-series printers and A8 have this
possibility as standard feature. (AT or PS 2 connectors required for Apollo and Hermes, USB
keyboards required for A-series printers - please refer to the operator´s manual)
Labels, graphics, databases and fonts can be saved on the printer´s optional memory card.
Recalling labels can easily be done trough the attached keyboard (or in the worst case through the
printer´s control panel buttons - which is useful only for easy applications)
The printers allow also for variable input, the prompt on the LC display is defined with this command.
Syntax:
[?:x,y,z{,D}{,Lx}{,Mx}{,R}{,J}]
