About The Partner Printer - Avery Dennison MonarchNet2 9855 Operating Insructions

data transferred to the partner printer and requires less processing by
the primary printer.
All formats, graphics, fonts, or check digits used with the Smart Relay
system must be sent to the primary printer. See "Connecting the
Printers" and "Configuring the Partner Printer" for more information.
The primary printer does not forward any of the following to the partner
printer:
♦ online configuration packets
♦
immediate commands
♦ status polling (ENQ) requests
♦ ADK scripts
If an XOFF character is received, the primary printer stops processing
MPCL data, until an XON character is received. The primary printer
displays "Please Wait... Partner Printer" while it tries to resend data to
the partner printer.
Pressing Escape/Clear on the primary printer exits Smart Relay mode for
the current batch, so the primary printer does not send the current batch
to the partner printer.
When the primary printer is in Smart Relay mode, you see "Smart Relay
Ready." If you print a Network Test label, Smart Relay information
appears on the bottom of the label, indicating this printer is a primary
printer.

The partner printer can be a 9855 or 9860 printer. The partner printer is
unaware that it is a "partner printer." It can accept data from other
sources besides the primary printer. Since the partner printer can accept
data from multiple sources, formats/batches can be overwritten.
Use unique format numbers. If you do not have a unique format
Note:
number, always precede the batch with the format you want to
print. For example, send the data to the printer in this order:
{Format} {Batch} {Format} {Batch}. Otherwise,
unexpected results or errors may occur.
