Programming

There are two completely different ways of setting up the printout: Text oriented and driver oriented style.

Command Code

The printout can be seen as the page of a simple word processor. You

 

send text and graphics to the printer, which prints the information in the

 

same sequence as the data is received. Design features are limited to the

 

font stored in the flash PROM of the printer.

 

It is possible to select a fixed page length. If you do that, text and

 

logotypes can also be printed in landscape orientation.

 

There are two text cursors, one for portrait, and one for landscape. The

 

start positions of the cursors are the upper left corner for the portrait

 

cursor, and the upper left corner for the landscape cursor, see Ticket

 

Styles on page 28. You can switch between these cursors at any time; the

 

cursor will retain its last position on the ticket.

 

 

Driver oriented

All TTP 70x0 printers can print documents through a driver. When a

 

Windows driver is used, you can use any Windows program to design

 

the ticket with text, graphics, bar codes or whatever you want to print

 

and in any orientation you want.

 

The Windows driver issues all the necessary commands. By setting up

 

printing preferences in the driver you select how the printer should cut

 

and present the printout.
