Using Special Characters in Batch Data
There are two ways to specify special characters in batch data:
♦ Place a tilde (~) before each character
♦ Use a tilde with the decimal ASCII equivalent
For example, use “” or ~034 to print the “ character in the batch data; otherwise, the tilde
characters are ignored. You can also use ~XXX where XXX is the decimal equivalent of an
unprintable character.
Sample Batch Data with Special Characters
{B,1,N,1 | Decimal Character What Prints
1,"123~034456789" | ~034 is “ 123"456789
2,"~094983~’126LG4451" | ~094 is ^~126 is ~ ^983~’LG4451
Downloading Methods
Download the format and batch data using one of three methods: sequential, batch, and batch
quantity zero.
Sequential Method
Using the sequential method, send all format and batch data at one time. Use this method when
the application does not require operator intervention to input data. All data is sent down at one
time, and the printer then images each field. As soon as the last field is imaged, labels begin to
print.
Example {Format}
{Batch Packet}
Batch Method
This is similar to the sequential method, but it is used to send multiple batches. All data for the
first batch is sent at one time, and the printer then images each field. As soon as the last field for
the first batch is imaged, labels begin to print. This process is repeated for each subsequent
batch.
