Printing Labels; Introduction - Datamax Prodigy Plus Operator's Manual

4.0

Introduction

This chapter explains how to generate labels using several different
methods, and how to print different bar codes. An optional Internal Batch
Cartridge is available for generating label formats using the Printer as a
stand-alone device.
A VT 100 or LINK MCII compatible CRT is required if the optional
Internal Batch Cartridge is used to generate labels. The Internal Batch
Cartridge Program works much like a PC compatible software package,
but uses internal batch modules instead of a hard or floppy disk drive to
store and retrieve label formats.
Labels can also be generated using RS-232 to a host computer or by
using a PC with a compatible labeling software package. This chapter
explains some of the basic programming commands that are required
when writing programs to generate label formats.

The programming information contained in this manual is for
