♦Printing Labels

2.0Introduction

This chapter explains how to generate labels using several different methods and how to print different bar codes. An optional Internal Batch Cartridge is available for generating label formats using the Printer as a standalone device.

A LINK MC2 or compatible CRT is required if the optional Internal Batch Cartridge is used. The optional Internal Batch Cartridge works much like a PC-compatible software package, but uses Cartridges instead of hard or floppy disk drives to store and retrieve label formats.

Labels can also be generated using RS-232 or parallel communications to a host computer or a PC with a compatible labeling software package. This chapter explains some of the basic programming commands that are required when writing programs to generate label formats. A programmer's manual can be obtained by mailing or faxing the request card located in the back of this manual.
