Integration
Control
Every cab printer can be directly coded with the simple pro-
gramming language JScript and an extensive instruction set.
Alternatively, direct programming with ZPL is possible. The la-
bel software cablabel
®
S3 supports optimally JScript, but a
JScript program may also be created with any text editor.
As an integrated element of the firmware, the abc Basic
compiler enables the printer to process data via BASIC
programming before it is sent for print editing. That way, you
replace external printer languages or integrate data from other
systems, e.g. scale or a PLC.
11.4
In the stand-alone mode with additional network connec-
tion, the Database Connector enables printers to access data
directly from a central ODBC-, OLEDB compatible database
and to print it as a label.
In cooperation with SAP* cab developed the so-called replace
method to control cab printers quickly and easily from
SAPScript using SAP R/3. Using the replace method the host
computer only sends the JScript variable, respectively changed
data to the printer. As a Silver Level partner in SAP‘s Printer
Vendor Program, cab has access to the SAP development
area for optimum printer support in SAP environments.
11.10
The Programmer‘s guide explains and describes com-
mands for different printer models via direct programming with
JScript and abc and additionally the connection of the printer
to databases via Database Connector.
For the printer control via PC accredited drivers are available
for established Windows operating systems and additionally
CUPS-based drivers for Mac OS X and Linux. The drivers
ensure optimal stability on your operating system.
Monitoring
Using standard programs such as the web browser or
FTP clients, the integrated HTTP and FTP server enables print
monitoring, configuration, firmware updates and memory card
administration. Status, warning and error messages are sent
to administrators or users as e-mails or SNMP datagrams via
SNMP and SMTP clients. A time server is used to synchronize
time and date.

No printer is isolated – in a productive environment it is con-
nected to other equipment or networks for control and monitor-
ing. cab offers various possibilities to integrate the printer into
your environment.
