Microcom Tag

Figure 5
The sequence ^D57 puts the printer in format entry mode.
The next line is the header information: sizing the tag (615 dots wide 153 dots high).
The next four lines are layout information for each printable text string.
The sequence ^D56 selects the user layout.
The sequence ^D2 tells the printer to start accepting text data for each defined field.
The next three lines contain the text for each field. The first string will be TSN# 1, the second will be
TSN#2 and so on.
Text string #3 is accessed twice. The format will print the word 'easy' and then the barcode
equivalent.
The sequence ^D3 starts the print cycle (unless otherwise defined, it will print one copy).

TAG HEADER

The header is broken down into eleven different parameters. These parameters contain information
about the tag. It is not necessary to enter information for all of the parameters: If a parameter is left
blank, then the default value will be used. A carriage return must follow the tag header.
The value of measurement for many of the header elements is the dot. There are 154 dots per inch
on a 410 ECA print head (6 dots/mm). There is a maximum 640 dots in the X direction (width). Y
direction (length) is virtually unlimited.
Most of the header parameters can be supplied by auto-sizing the tag stock (^D39 section 5.3.3).
