INTRODUCTION
The Monarch 9430RX printer control language contains a variety of
commands to
♦ create and print formats.
♦ configure the printer.
♦ enable specific printer features.
You download these commands in a data stream from another device. This
manual describes the printer's control language.
Duty Cycle
The printer is designed to print up to 1000 inches per day. The average print
rate is 1 inch every 10 seconds at a text character print density of 25% (i.e.,
one character printed out of every four positions). Bar codes and graphics are
more dense (print with more dots) than text and may need a lower duty cycle.
In high temperature environments, pause the printer for one minute after every
four (4) inches printed. If the duty cycle is exceeded, the printer may not print
all of the information that was sent to it.
