Using databases
The MK offers simple, yet effective
database printing support.
It’s simple to use, and can be made non-
accessible for operators
Database limits and possibilities
Database printing on the MK should perhaps more correctly be considered “list
printing”. The controller can:
Load a text file from USB drive
Use up to 5 fields, separated by same single character
Use up to 2,7 mio records
Remember where print was stopped, and continue on next record, also after
power-off
Prevent operator from re-printing same data
Use same content multiple places
Print content in non-English languages (ANSI encoded)
Traditional database functions are not available though. You cannot search, select,
evaluate, repeat or skip data. The idea is to allow the database function to be simple
to use.
Database layout
As indicated above, a database for the MK should follow these rules exactly:
Parameter Rule
Fields Maximum 5, but can be less.
Delimiter Fields delimited by single character. Fields cannot be quoted
Line-ending CR LF (2 bytes, Windows format)
