When creating MPCLII packets:

Begin each packet with a start of header ({).

End each packet with an end of header (}).

Define no more than 1000 fields (100 fields for 9403/9805) in

a format. Each p indicates one field. However, options are not counted as fields. The actual number of fields a format can have may be less, because the number of fields is limited by the available memory.

The field number 0 to 999 (99 for the 9403/9805) must be unique. Monarch recommends starting at 1, instead of 0.

Do not use a field number more than once per format.

Define all fields in the order you want to image/print them. The printer does not print in field number order.

Separate all parameters with a Parameter Separator (,).

End each field with a Field Separator ( p ).

Enter all information in CAPITAL letters, except words or phrases within quotation marks.

Include all parameters for a field unless documented as optional.

Define non-printable text fields before the field to which they apply.
