INTRODUCTION TO PALTM ADVANCED TOPICS

Advanced Overview

As previously mentioned the PALTM Print and Program Language is both a powerful printing and programming language. For example the included Windows driver takes advantage of the powerful printing portion of the language. Your VAR or internal programming staff may take advantage of some of the programming abilities. The fact that a single printer language supports both capabilities is unique. PALTM Print and Program enabled printers can be used in many ways not supported by traditional printers.

A full technical description of the PALTM Print and Program Language is beyond the scope of this manual. Please refer to the PALTM Print and Program Language Reference manual for details.

For assistance developing PALTM applications or solutions for your unique labeling requirements, please contact your sales representative.
