40 PRINT #1,E$;"A";

Sends an “<ESC>A” command code to

 

 

Print Port #1 opened by statement 20

 

 

above.

50

PRINT #1, E$;"H400";E$;"V100";E$;"WL0SATO";

Sends the data “SATO” to be to be

 

 

placed 400 dots horizontally and 100

 

 

dots vertically on the label and printed in

 

 

the “WL” font.

60

PRINT #1, E$;"Q1";

Instructs the printer to print a quantity of

 

 

one label.

70

The maximum print area for the various CX208/212 printers is listed in Table 1, Print Area. Most of your label applications will not require labels that fill the entire print area. To make label design simplier, the media on the CX208/212 printers is center justified, i.e. the label is always centered on the print head. An <ESC>A1 Media Size command is then used to specify the length and width of the label. The CT printer uses this information to automatically calculate an “offset” that will move the Horizontal Reference point to coincide with the first printable dot position on the specified label. It is extremely important to use the Media Size command. If you do not, you will have to manually calculate the offset and send it to the printer using the <ESC>A3 Base Reference Point command.
