Avery Dennison ADTP1 - Using Online Configuration Packets; Configuration Packet Header

Configuring the Printer 2-3
Using Online Configuration Packets
Use online configuration packets to change the printer’s settings. Send an individual
configuration packet or a single packet containing all the configuration packets. Supply all
parameters for each packet. Leave the parameters blank that do not need to change. For
example,
{I,A,,,,1 | }
prints a slashed zero and uses the last sent online System Setup parameters.
Make a copy of the online configuration worksheet in Appendix D, “Format Design Tools
,” and
save the original. Packets A-M are listed on the worksheet.
When turning off the printer, all the information in the online configuration packets is saved and
used when the printer is turned back on. After changing the printer’s configuration, resend the
format, batch, or graphic to the printer before the changes take effect.
Configuration Packet Header
Always include an I, immediately after the left bracket { and before the packet identifier (A, B, C,
etc.). The I parameter identifies the data stream as a configuration packet.
Note: Include the I parameter with each packet if sending them individually. Include it only at
the beginning of a data stream if sending multiple packets.
Use this syntax to create online configuration packets:
Syntax
{ Start of Header
I, Configuration Header
1 - 9 optional records
A, parameter 1...parameter 5 | System Setup
B, parameter 1...parameter 6 | Supply Setup
C, parameter 1...parameter 7 | Print Control
D, parameter 1...parameter 3 | Monetary Formatting
E, parameter 1...parameter 9 | Control Characters
F, parameter 1...parameter 5 | Communication Settings
G, parameter 1...parameter 3 | Backfeed Control
M, parameter 1...parameter 3 | Memory Configuration
T, parameter 1...parameter 5 | Time/Date
Y, parameter 1 parameter 5 | RFID Setup
} End of Header
Syntax for single packet
{ Start of Header
I, Configuration Header
A, parameter 1...parameter 5 | System Setup
} End of Header
Add a configuration to RAM or specify units for supply, print, margin, and cut positions. If using
the optional parameters with the I packet, any online configuration packets following the split
vertical bar (|) must specify distances using the selected units. However, the test labels display
the units in dots, even if entered in English or Metrics units.
