Printing 6-9
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, you can use “” or ~034 to print the “ character in your 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
2,"~094983~’126LG4451" | ~094 is ^~126 is ~ ^983~’LG4451
Special Printing Considerations with the Optional Knife
Keep in mind the following considerations when using the optional knife:
With optional knife installed
Note: We do not recommend cutting die cut label supply.
Serial Bar Code Printing Information
Keep in mind the following serial bar code printing information when using the printer.
Print Speed Printhead Density Minimum Bar Code Narrow Element
2.5 ips 203/300 dpi less than 3 dots
4.0 ips 203 dpi 3 dots
6.0 ips 203 dpi 4 dots or more
Downloading Methods
You can download the format and batch data using one of three methods: sequential, batch, and
batch quantity zero.
Sequential Method
Using the sequential method, you send all your format and batch data at one time. Use this
method when your 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, your labels begin to print.
Example {Format}{Batch Packet}
Batch Method
This is similar to the sequential method, but it is used when you want 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.
