MPCLII Packet Reference Manual

2.Input data for each field, and send it with a batch header using the parameter U (update) and a quantity of zero. When the printer receives the data, it immediately images the field, but does not print it.

Example {B,1,U,0 p

1,"RODGER DIST CTR" p } {B,1,U,0 p

2,"8292" p }

At this time, the printer is imaging all associated fields, including fields that copy from other fields.

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 }

Increasing Throughput

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. Using a baud rate of 19200 is almost twice as fast as 9600 baud.
