Page 11: Chapter 1 - Overview
? Overview The programming language of the cab Printers is based almost completely on ASCII characters. Together with the selectability of different codepages it is possible to connect to nearly each computer system. The printers accept additionally all types of line end identifiers (CR, LF, CR/LF), so that the descriptions of labels can be created with the most simple text editors, such as "Notepad"...
Page 12: Label Format Commands
On the next pages you will find a short training class which shall help you to become familiar with the cab printer programming language "JSCRIPT". We recommend that you try this course first, before you start with your own projects.
Page 13: Programming Cab Printers - A Simple Lesson
Apollo Hermes command available ? Programming cab printers - a simple lesson Target: Learn how easy it is to teach your printer to do what you want. Understand the language structure of JScript by testing the following sample. Get the feeling what might go wrong if the syntax is not correct.
