Easy Print Command Format

You must follow the exact format for Easy Print commands:

{Command, Global Options:@row,col:Name,Field Optionsdata}

If anything is wrong in the Easy Print request, the image will not print

1)Be sure you use the correct names for Global and Field options (e.g. “QSTOPn” or “WIDEn” where “n” is a number in the proper range). A typo in the global or field option (e.g. “VNULT” instead of “VMULT”) will cause the command to be ignored.

2)A colon ”:” follows the dot row and dot column information (e.g. where the image will be printed on the receipt or label). There can be no spaces either before or after a colon.

3)If the column numbers are too large for the receipt paper, or the print request skips from one row to a row too much further down the paper, the print request will be unsuccessful.

4)The “Name” (see format above) is the name of the bar code, font, graphic or line. There can be no spaces in the name. A typo in the font name (e.g. MF225 instead of MF226) is a common error.

5)A vertical bar “” follows the Name of what will be printed and its field options (if any). A vertical bar “” signals the end of the data.

6)A right bracket “}” signals the end of the command.

Downloading Problems

1)Download via cable connect only, not infrared.

2)You cannot download your current configuration (see Chapter 3) to the same COM-Port that is in use by IrDA or any other device.

3)Prior to downloading, check battery by printing a self-test and checking the “Batt Volt” to see that it is “GOOD.” Alternatively, you can have the charger plugged into the printer prior to download.

4)Paper must be properly installed (with lever down)

5)Check all cable connections.

6)Make sure the COM-Port you selected in your microFlash Configuration Program (see Chapter 3) is the same COM-Port the printer is plugged into.

7)Do not toggle out of the microFlash configuration program during download, as this could interrupt the download.
