CodeWriter 4500 Series Features
The Datasouth CodeWriter 4500 Series printers are compact, rugged, direct thermal/thermal transfer label printers designed for the bar code industry. The printers’ high speed and high dot density offer the ability to create quality labels, tickets, and tags containing text, graphics and bar codes.
CodeWriter Series printers are part of Datasouth's Adaptive Solutions Architecture (ASAtm) family of products. Each ASA product supports Datasouth's Printer Application Language (PALtm). In addition to supporting all traditional text, barcode, and graphics print sequences common to other label printers, PAL serves a general purpose programming language. PAL’s combination of sequence based printing commands and programming constructs allows each ASA product to provide unique solutions such as:
PAL programs can intelligently read and interpret existing
