1. SCOPE
This specification applies to the external equipment interface for use with the TPCL (TEC Printer Control
Language) of the B-850 general-purpose thermal label/tag printers.
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The external equipment interface connects a printer to the host computer through a serial interface (RS-
232C), parallel interface (Centronics), or a network for making various settings and printing labels. PCL
emulation (Printer Control Language for Hewlett Packard laser printer) is enabled by connecting the
optional PCL board to the B-850 series printer. However, this specification describes how to use the
external equipment interface for the TPCL (TEC Printer Command Language).
