A format defines which fields appear and where the fields are printed on the label. The printer requires this information in a special form. This section describes how to create a sample MPCLII format packet.

Make sure supplies are loaded, you have a fully charged battery, the printer is connected to a host and ready to receive data, and you have software in the printer. Refer to your Equipment Manual for more information.

{F,25,A,R,E,200,200,"FMT-25" p

2.Type the following constant text field:

C,140,40,0,1,2,1,W,C,0,0,"SAMPLE FORMAT",1 p

3.Type the following bar code field:
