AUTOFR - Au tomatic Form Printing Fea ture

AUTOFR treats any in coming data as a vari able in -

tended for printing.

This means if you send the printer a mem ory par tition command, the la bel will print,

if you send a delete com mand - the la bel will print! So, while you are testing AUTOFR it is best to use an other name for the form. Once you are sat is

The printer will switch be

c1 = Bi nary mode

The printer will en code the symbol in byte com pac tion mode.

PDF417 uses an in termediate data type called a “codeword” to store the char acters in the sym

bol. Each code word typ

ically consumes a

fixed-size

por tion of the to tal sym bol. More

characters

serted

into a codeword

results

fewer codewords needed

to cr

eate

a sym

bol.

This re sults in a smaller sym bol. To provide

ef ficient data compaction, PDF-417 sup ports three types of codewords: text, nu meric and bi

nary.

Page 32

b Com mand - 2D Bar Code - PDF417 Specific Op tions

Auto-En cod ing (c0) data com paction method is set by de fault, and provides the best compaction. If Bi nary data compaction

(c1) is se lected

the symbol will typically be larger. Binary dat

a compaction may help to minimize the amount of time it takes a sys tem to scan and de code the data en coded within the sym bol.

C Command - Counter

Description The coun ter (C) com mand de fines one of 10 au -

to matic coun ters used in con sec u tive num ber ing ap pli ca tions (i.e. se rial num bers). Counters must be de fined af ter vari ables.

For Numeric Serialization Only. The counter function does

not support Alpha or Alpha-Numeric

Serialization.

Syntax Cp1, p2, p3, p4, “[-]PROMPT”

Parameters

p1 = Counter num ber. Range: 0 to 9

p2 = Maximum num ber of digits for coun ter.

Range:

1 to 29

p3 = Field Jus ti fi ca tion.

L = Left R = Right C = Cen ter N = N

o Jus

fi ca

tion

p4 = Step Value. + or - sign followed by

single digit of 1 -

9. Using a step value

of +0 al lows the counter to be used as an ad ditional vari able data field.

“PROMPT”= An ASCII text field that will be

trans

mit ted to

the KDU or host (via the serial in terface) each time the command is ex ecuted. Typically used to request the op erator to en ter a start ing coun ter value.

KDU Prompt

Options

[-] = Having the first char acter of the prompt

a sin gle mi nus sign will cause the prompt to dis play only once af ter form re

tri

C Com mand - Counter

The C com mand is used in forms that require se quential num bering. When initializing coun ters, they must be de fined in or der (e.g. C0 first, C1 sec ond...).

Field jus ti fi ca

tion (p3) af fects the print ing of

counter data. When

L, R or C are se lected, the

counter field is the width of

p2 value. Data will

justify within the coun ter (p

q Com mand - Set Label Width

All Printers

This

com mand will automatically set the left mar gin

cord ing to the fol low ing rules:

(print head width

- la bel width) / 2

The q value affects the available print width. Min imiz

ing the q value will maximize the print length and

print spee

d (dou ble buff ering).

If the R Com mand (Reference Point) is sent after this command,

the im age buffer will be automatically re-

formatted

to match the width of the print head and is

offset by the R com mand spec i fied im age buffer star

t ing point, nul li fy ing the q com mand.

Example:

q416 :sets label width to 416 dots wide

Q Command - Set Form Length

Description Use this com mand to set the form and gap length or

black line thick ness when us ing the transmissive (gap) sen sor, black

The

Q com mand will cause the printer to re cal-

Parameters p1 = Label length measured in dots

Default: Set by the AutoSense of media

• Distance be tween edges of the label or black line marks.

• For con tin u ous mode, the p1pa ram e ter sets the feed distance be tween the end

of one

p2 = Gap length or thick ness of black line

Range: 16-240 (dots) for 203 dpi printers

[18-240 (dots) for 300dpi print ers

]

Gap Mode - By de fault, the printer is in Gap mode and pa rameters are set with the me dia AutoSense.

r Command - Set Double Buffer Mode

Description: Use this com mand to disable or reenable the

double buffer im age (la bel) print ing. The dou

ble buffer fea ture is a au tomatically tested

and

set by the q and Q com mands.

Mobile print ers, such as the printer,

ig nore this

command and au tomatically set the printer

single buffer mode.

Syntax:

Parameters: p1 = N - Dis able Double Buffer Mode

Y - Re-en able the Double Buffer Mode if

the printer memory sup ports the im age buffer size set by

Q and q pa ram e ters

The rN com mand must fol low the q and Q com mands in a fo

rm (la bel) program.

Verify the im age buffer status with the U com mand(s

). See page 2-2, for a sam ple of the

Dum

Mode P

rintout.

Page 97

R Command - Set Reference Point

Description Use this com mand to move the ref erence point

for the X and

Y axes. All hor izontal and vertical

measurements in other commands use the set

ting

for R as the or igin for mea surements. Use

the

R com mand as an alternative to send ing the

q com mand to position (cen ter) la bels that are

narrower than the print head.

Syntax

Rp1,p

Parameters p1 = Hor i zon tal (left) mar gin mea sured in

dots

p2 = Vertical (top) margin mea sured in dots.

The

R com mand in teracts with im age buffer set -

ting, as fol lows:

• The R com mand forces the printer to use the

full

dth

the print head as the width of th

image

buffer. The R com mand overrides the

q com mands print width setting.

• Rotate the im age buffer with the Z com mand

to es tablish top and left

margins (ZT) or the

bottom and right mar

gins (ZB).

• When po si tioned cor rectly, pre vents print ing off two (2) edges of the la

bel op posite the 0,0

ref

ence point.

Use the Q and R com mands to gether for the

sies

method

of po sitioning form el ements in the print im-

age

in left aligned printers: LK-B10

Repeated printing off the edge of the la bel can cause excessive pr

int head wear.

S Command - Speed Select

Description Use this com mand to se lect the print speed.

Mobile print ers, such as the printer
