    If serial RS-232-C communication is selected and XON/XOFF hand shaking is used, the only signals the 48-466 requires are the RXD, TXD, and GND signals. If hardware (CTS/RTS) hand shaking is used a RTS signal is provided. XON/XOFF may be disabled through software dip switch #1 (see chapter 5).

    DCE equipment. For parallel connection, use a standard 25 pin to 36 pin Centronics® printer cable, connected from the desired parallel port of the host computer to the 36 pin connector on the 48-466 parallel board.

  • Page 19: Chapter 4: Designing Labels Using Lds

    GETTING STARTED There are many different machines that can send information to the 48-466. For example, main frames, mini-computers, special purpose computers and PC's. However, the easiest way to start is with a PC and a terminal emulation software program.

  • Page 20: Pc Connection (Parallel)

    DOS copy command, first use the DOS mode instruction to configure the PC. For example, MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P). There are some special features offered by the 48-466 that will aid in label design. For example, the auto-size command (^A2^D395) will provide most of the header format information needed to define the different properties of label stock.

  • Page 21: Formatting Labels: An Overview

    The next three lines are data for each field. Text string #4 is accessed twice. The format will print '01234567890' and then the bar code equivalent. The sequence ^D35 starts the print cycle. (Default is one copy. See section 5.3.2) 48-466 Operators Manual...

    Communications Chapter 3 Microcom Label Figure 8 48-466 Operators Manual...

  • Page 23: Label Header

    The value of measurement for many of the header elements is the dot. There are 203 dots per inch on a 48-466 print head (8 dots/mm). There is a maximum 832 dots in the X direction (width). The Y direction (length) is virtually unlimited.
  • Page 24 DPS parameters can be inserted into the label header. Note that a higher value slows the printer down and a smaller value speeds it up. See Table 3 for a list of print speeds, DPS values, and inches per second. 48-466 Operators Manual...
  • Page 25 Blow Hole Stock (Slot-Cut): If set to a value of 0, the printer will detect the leading edge of a blow hole (see software dip switch #4 (^D24) for blow hole stock). Black Line Stock (transmissive sensor): If set to a value of 1, the printer will detect the leading edge of a black line. 48-466 Operators Manual...
  • Page 26 It may also be necessary to adjust this value if using material with a sense position not located at the end of the stock. The 48-466 uses the following formula to determine the SPG setting: If label height is greater than or equal to 305 then SPG=305 If label height is less than 305, subtract (LSY+GAP) from 305 until the answer is negative, then add (LSY+GAP) back to become positive again.

    Data is the text that follows a ^D25 command in a label layout. A graphic image field must point to a valid text string that contains at least 1 character. Maximum value is 65536. 48-466 Operators Manual...
  • Page 28 Communications Chapter 3 48-466 Operators Manual...
  • Page 29 For example, the text string - MICROCOM - would be 8 characters long. This parameter should be set to a value of 1 if the field is a graphic image.
  • Page 30 * Refer to Section 7.1.1 on how to use these TCI's. Example: For the string - 1234567 A TCI of 1 would normally be used when printing regular text . A TCI of 42 would print a Codabar bar code. 48-466 Operators Manual...

  • Page 37: Chapter 5: Printer Commands

    CHAPTER 5: PRINTER COMMANDS The 48-466 printer has a large and versatile collection of control codes to meet the special needs of labeling applications. Most of the commands use a ^D control sequence, however the printer also recognizes a selected number of other control sequences.

  • Page 44 Adjust Contrast Base: Used to adjust the contrast base point for such things as high-speed paper and print head wear. This command is stored in the non-volatile memory and skews the entire contrast window (^D35). This command has a ^A range of 10 to 200%. 48-466 Operators Manual...

  • Page 45: Printing Commands

    Load Delay Time Between Printed Labels: Delays the printing between labels in a batch. Preceded by ^A which contains the wait in 1/10ths of a second increments. The maximum value is 650. Example usage: ^A10^D765 - introduces a one second delay between printed labels. 48-466 Operators Manual...
  • Page 46 This condition occurs because the default ^D91 value cannot adjust for stock that has unusual translucent properties (old stock, thick tag stock, unusual backing paper, etc.). This problem can be easily rectified by auto-sizing the stock. 48-466 Operators Manual...
