Creating a Print job

 

There are two ways to create a print job: Use the Microsoft® Windows printer

 

driver, or create a text file using print commands.

Windows

• Printer drivers are available for different versions of Windows. You can print

Printer Driver

from nearly every Windows application using the printer drivers. However,

 

functionality is strongly dependent on the choice of software. We recommend

 

label layout programs.

 

Printer drivers for different versions of Windows are available on our Web site

 

(http://www.machines.averydennison.com/printersystems_gb.nsf/

 

wview/L4L3?OpenDocument). Select the drivers for models AP4.4 (9844)

 

and AP5.4 (9854).

PSee the printer driver’s help function for more information. Refer to your Windows operating system help to install a driver.

File with Print • You can write a sequence of commands in a text file and send it to the printer.

Commands To do this, you can use any text editor and the MS-DOS copy command. Easy Plug provides a special command language to program print jobs. However, writing a print job in text file format requires some programming knowledge. You cannot preview the resulting printout on the screen. Print a test print to see a copy of the finished result.

PRefer to the Easy Plug manual for examples of print jobs.

Sending a Print Job

The printer processes print jobs once the jobs are sent to the printer’s RAM either by direct transfer from your computer with a data cable, or by saving to a Compact Flash (CF) card for the 9854 printer.

Data Cable

The print job can be sent using parallel or serial communication. Connect the

 

computer and the printer with the serial or parallel cable. Send the print job

 

file – from the DOS window – to the interface (for example, “copy testjob.txt

 

lpt1” to send the print job to the parallel interface).

 

To send the print job from a text program, make sure the printer driver is

 

installed.
