Installing the Applications Software
The software to drive the Paxar family of printers is covered in separate
documentation. The "PcMate Plus / Formatter " software to create formats on site
for the Paxar 545 printer is a Windows application. The original "Selfform" will not
support the 545. The new "PcMate Plus / Formatter " package is capable of creating
formats for all Paxar control printers. Version 3.16.3 or higher is needed.
The original DOS version of "PcMate" has been updated to drive the 545 printer.
PCMate DOS version 3.05 or higher is needed.
The printer is also capable of operating directly from a mainframe when using the
RS-232 interface and Paxar's PCL command language.
