Programmer’s Guide

Introduction
Scope
The TLS PC Link
TM
Programmer’s Guide is intended for technical personnel
who have basic programming knowledge and intend to create their own programs
to send controls down to the printer for printing labels (design their own label-
creation software). A programming language allows the printer to be integrated
with a piece of equipment such as a portable data terminal (PDT), scanner, wire
tester, electrical meter, or medical device. Operators without programming
experience may prefer to use a label-creation software package such as
LabelMark
TM
(included with every printer) or CODESOFT
TM
. This guide offers
detailed information on the Brady Programming Language (based off of the
Datamax programming Language (DPL)), specifically regarding the writing,
loading, and storing of programs for the control and production of label formats
(designs) using the TLS PC Link Printer. The Brady Programming Language
(BPL) provides a built-in communication language with every printer.
Note: The TLS PC Link Printer is referred to as “the printer” in this
programmer’s guide.
