<ABC> - Start of the abc Basic Compiler
This command starts the internal Basic compiler. The Basic compiler offers the functions of the basic
programming language „YABASIC". The usage of abc requires good programming knowledge.
abc can be used to create functionalities which are not covered by JScript. The usage of the basic
compiler could be to convert incoming data into a format which can be processed by the printer
(JScript) or for additional calculations and further influence on the printer.
So an additional programming language has been added to your printer.
Syntax:
<ABC> CR
Possible usage is to convert text strings - sent by a scale into JScript, or to convert incoming data
which was prepared for competitive printers into an understandable format for cab printers.
See also the command: </ABC> End of the abc Basic Compiler.
abc is not an emulator !! More information can be found in the „abc a-series basic compiler" chapter -
later in this manual.
abc is not required for the programming of „standard labels", but it offers nearly unlimited functions.
abc is still a beta release.
More infos about the possibilities of abc can be found later in this manual.
