Setting Up for Database Operation __________________________

The printer must be set up to use the database. Following are instructions for

♦ setting up the printer. ♦ creating sequential or flat files.

Setting up the Printer

In database mode, you update the records by downloading data from the PC and uploading data to the PC. Updating requires you to set up the printer for communication with the PC.

To install the printer application files, database file, and DOSPFX transfer utility on a PC:

NOTE: The PC should NOT be running Windows during this

process.

1. Insert the diskette in the A or B drive.

2. On the c: drive, create the directory called Monarch:

md \Monarch

34

3. Change to the directory containing the database files:

cd \Monarch

4. Type at the DOS prompt:

copy a:*.*

NOTE: If you used the B drive, type: copy b:*.*

Item Pricing Application

________________________________________________________________________

To set up the printer to communicate:

♦ the communication parameters must be set. ♦ a communications cable must be connected from your PC to your

printer. ♦ the printer must be in Receive mode. The following are the correct settings - an asterisk indicates factory-set

defaults.

Parameter Default

Baud Rate: 9600* Parity: Odd* Data Bits: 7* Stop Bits: 1* Flow Control: Xon/Xoff* Echo BEL: (does not matter) ENQ Polling: enable Resp.Timeout: 30*

35

Item Pricing Application

________________________________________________________

Creating Sequential Database Files

The printer requires a comma-delimited ASCII sequential or flat file to use the database option. Create the sequential file using nine commadelimited fields.

NOTE: Although formats may not require all of the fields, separate

each field with a comma even if the field is blank.

The nine fields include the following:

1. bar code - numeric or alphanumeric (UPC-A, EAN+5, UPC+2, Code 39, and Code 128 can be supported.)

2. item number - numeric only

3. description 1 - alphanumeric (general information field)

4. description 2 - alphanumeric(general information field)

5. price - numeric only (decimal automatically inserted for cents)

6. lot number - numeric only

7. date - numeric only (entered with or without slashes)

8. user 1 - alphanumeric (used for NOW price field)

36

9. user 2 - alphanumeric (used for VENDOR or DEPT field)

For the maximum size of each field, see the individual formats. A full record might look like this example:

028028111119,11111,DESC1,DESC2,10000,111,11/2/59,USER1,9999

Item Pricing Application

________________________________________________________________________

Make sure data entered in the sequential file is appropriate for the formats you are using. For example, you cannot print formats using EAN+5 bar codes if the sequential file contains only UPC-A bar codes.

If you use one file for several formats, make sure the data matches the combined requirements for all formats selected. For example, if you want to use Formats 1-4, the sequential file must include all fields required by Format 3 since that format requires the most data. In this case, the data stream

028028111119,,Toothpaste,,239,,,45342,

could be used by Formats 1-4. NOTE: You must save this file to data.txt or you cannot download

successfully.

For individual formats and their contents, see “Selecting Database Formats.”

Database Operating Instructions ____________________________

Once data is entered in the sequential file, the printer can print labels using the database. You can update database files by downloading or uploading records. Use F3 at Format Menu to change the saving records option for uploading.

NOTE: You must select Save Upld Recs before scanning data if

you plan to upload.

Following are instructions for

♦ updating the database files. ♦ operating in database mode. ♦ selecting database formats.
