2-inch Label Technical Manual

1. Programming introduction

This manual details the various commands in the CPCL language which allow the programmer to utilize

the built in text, graphics, bar code printing and communications capabilities. The following notation

conventions are used throughout this manual.

{}

Required item

[]

Optional item

()

Abbreviated command

<>

Literal item

A space character is used to delimit each field in a command line.

Getting Printer Information

The printer can print a report containing information about the application resident in the printer memory.

This information can be printed by following these procedures.

1. Turn off the printer

2. While holding the FEED key down, turn the printer on.

3. When printing begins, release the FEED key.

The printing will contain information about printer model, ROM version, serial number, baud rate, USB, Bluetooth,

font extra information which has been saved in the printer. In addition, certain amount of ASII hex codes will be

printed to check the printing quality.

If you require to set for communication Diagnostic Mode, press FEED button again after printing information by

following the steps above. The printer then indicates received information with hexadecimal.

LabelMaker

As LaberMaker has similar interface as general graphic edit tool, you can design readily without specific expertise

for programming and print the data through LUKHAN Portable Printer. Moreover, you are able to save the label

image into your PC with LBL file format. Saved label file can be reopening and edited.

Apart from the function of designing, you can save the file by communicating with printer, reopen saved file or see

the state information of the printer.

2-inch Label Technical Manual

2. Printer commands

A label file always begins with the “!” character followed by an “x” offset parameter, “x” and “y” axis

resolutions, a label length and finally a quantity of labels to print. The line containing these parameters is

referred to as the Command Start Line.

A label file always begins with the Command Start Line and ends with the “PRINT” command. The

commands that build specific labels are placed between these two commands.

☞☞☞☞ NOTE:

NOTE: NOTE:

NOTE: Every line in the command session must be terminated with both carriage-return and line –feed

characters. All printer Commands must be in uppercase character ONLY.

A. PRINTER Commands

{height}

Maximum value of Label Height

The Maximum height of the label is the numerical value deducted 1/16” (1.5mm) from the value which

is measured from first bar (or gap) to the next bar (or gab). (In dots: 12donts on 203 dpi).

The quantity of label. The maximum value is 1024

B. Print command

The print command terminates and prints the file. This must always be the last command (except

when in Line Pint Mode). Upon execution of the Print command, the printer will exit from a control

session. Be sure to terminate this and all commands with both carriage-return and line-feed characters.

Be default, the printer will check for correct media alignment if it encounters the eye-sense mark

during a print cycle. If necessary, the Journal command can be used to disable this automatic

correction feature.

E. UNITS Command

The Units commands are used to specify a measurement system for all subsequent command fields

in a control session. Coordinates, widths, and heights for all control commands can be entered with

precision for four decimal places. The printer measurement system will default to dots until a units

command is issued.

Format

Command & option

IN-INCHES Measurement in inches.

IN-CENTIMETERS Measurement in centimeters

IN-MILLIMETER Measurement in millimeters.

F. Using Comments

Comments can be added between the first line of a command start line and the print command.

A comment is placed in the file by starting a line with the ‘;’ character in the first column. Any

remaining text to the end of the line will be ignored. Comments are illegal between the CONCAT and

ENDCONCAT commands.

3. TEXT

A. TEXT Commands

The TEXT command is used to place text on a label. This command and its variants control the

specific font number and size used, the location of the text on the label.

Format

{command} {font} {size} {x} {y} {data}

Command & option

TEXT (or T) Prints text horizontally

VTEXT (or VT) Prints text (vertically) rotated 90degrees counterclockwise

TEXT90 (or T90) Same as VTEXT above.

TEXT180 (or T180) Prints text (upside down) rotated 180 degrees

counterclockwise

{command}

TEXT270 (or T270) Prints text (vertically) rotated 270 degrees

counterclockwise

B. FONT-GROUP(FG) Command

The FG command gives a user the ability to group up to 10 pre-scaled font files into a single group. A

user can later specify the font group in a TEXT command. If a font group is used in a text command,

the printer will use the largest font specified in the font group that will produce the required text data

and still remain within the available width of the label the text. When specified in the TEXT command,

the {font} parameter is specified as FG, and the {size} parameter is specified as the {fg}. Note that a

user can also specify an FG command within a CONCAT/ENCONCAT command.

Format

{command} {fg fn fs} {fn, fs} …

Command & option
