Printer User Manual

If you use the COPY command to download your formats, set flow
control to DTR (not XON/XOFF). Also, do not use the MS-DOS
prompt from inside Windows, because you will get a framing error.
Refer to the Operator’s Handbook or Keypad Operating
Instructions for offline data entry and more printing information.
Defining the Batch Header
Batch data is the actual information printed on the supply. Batch
data fills in the format’s text, bar code, and non-printable text
fields.
A batch packet contains three parts:
batch header identifies the format and how many labels to
print.
batch control defines the print job.
batch data
(optional)
defines the actual information printed on the
label.
A batch header begins the file. It tells which format the batch
uses and how many labels to print. To record batch data, make a
copy of the worksheet in Appendix D, "Format Design Tools."
