5.6.1 Zebra Printer Formatting
Some Zebra Bluetooth
®
Printers (example: Cameo 3 BT or similar type) allow format
files (pre-loaded in its memory) to be selected for printing labels with different
formatting. These files can be preloaded onto the Zebra printer using the "Label
Vista™" program.
Gryphon™ BT as Master provides the possibility to define a number of formatting
parameters and their relative values (type), which can be passed to the printer format
files globally, (one setting is valid for all 16 possible pre-defined printer format files).
You can set between 0 and 4 parameters, which can be of two types, barcode data
or code ID.
Setting 0 parameters means printing a label with no barcode or code ID information.
Setting between 1 and 4 parameters allows printing barcode labels with barcode
and/or code ID information. The number of barcode/code ID values selected must
match the number of printer parameters selected.
The Gryphon™ BT default setting is:
“! UF DLFMT00.FMT[CR][LF]barcoderead[CR][LF]barcoderead[CR][LF]”
where Gryphon™ BT sends two parameters (both barcode data) to file 00. The
assumption is that one barcode is used to print the actual barcode and the other is
used to print the human readable numbers of the barcode all on the same label.
Not all barcode symbologies read by Gryphon™ BT are managed by the printer, see
your printer documentation for a list of printable barcode symbologies.
Note: "barcoderead" can also be a barcode formatted with headers and terminators.
5.6.2 Zebra Printer Format File Selection
Select the number of the Zebra printer format file which is pre-loaded in the printer
memory and contains the graphic and parameter value information for printing a
label. These files must be programmed correctly to accept the data passed to them
from the Gryphon™ BT reader.
