3.Repeat step 2 for each field except the last one.

{B,1,U,0 p 3,"BROADWAY" p } {B,1,U,0 p

4,"555 WEST OAK AVE." p }

4.For the last field, input data and send it with the quantity of labels you want printed. When the printer receives input for the last field, it immediately prints the labels.

Example	{B,1,U,10 p
	5,"DAYTON, OHIO" p }

Reducing the imaging time increases throughput. You can also increase the baud rate to increase the transmission time and increase throughput. Make sure the communication settings at the printer match those at the host.

G e n e r a l F o r m a t T i p s a n d H i n t s

The following tips and hints are helpful to keep in mind when designing MPCLII formats.

W i t h F o r m a t s

If you want to modify your format fields, check digit fields, and configuration commands, use the optional entry method. This method enables you to reset only the parameters you want to change. Commas act as placeholders for unchanged parameters. The optional entry method reduces file size and increases the speed at which files are sent to the printer.

W i t h P a c k e t s

Leave parameters blank that you do not need to change when sending online configuration packets.

You can group fields with similar parameters. For example,

T,1,10,V,250,50,1,1,1,1,B,C,0,0 p

T,2,15,,,75 p

T,3,,,,100 p
