 When the Terminal sends data to the host, it sends it in the

following format:

RF Terminal ID + DATA + CR

Typically, the data is simply a string of characters, but in the

instance of data coming from the magstripe reader, there are some

additional characters you need to be aware of. The magstripe

reader sends its data in the following formats:

Track 1:

T1: DATA

Track 2:

T2: DATA

Track 1&2:

T1: DATAT2: DATA

So, when the RF Terminal transmits the data to the host, it will be

in the following format:

RF Terminal ID + T1: DATA + CR

RF Terminal ID + T2: DATA + CR

RF Terminal ID +T1: DATA + T2: DATA + CR

For further information, see your Printing Systems Programming

Manual on the CD ROM shipped with the printer.

Zebra QL 3 Printer

The QL 3 Printer is used for label printing. It doesn’t have Magstripe input.

The classic application is for printing shelf labels during shelf price

verification:

1. The operator scans a shelf label.

2. The Terminal transmits scanned data to the host computer.

3. The host computer looks up the price, description, etc. and

transmits the computer price back and sends the necessary

commands to the attached QL 3 printer to prints a new shelf label

with the correct price.

4. The terminal operator then peels off the label and applies it to the

shelf.
