Unit 1: Introduction INTRODUCTION • • E/Pro Programming Reference About This Manual Print Area Calculation 1-1 PN: 9001096E
Unit 1: Introduction ABOUT THIS MANUAL This manual is laid out consistent with the product discussed and provides all of the information required for printer programming. This manual also incorporates the use of special information boxes. Examples of these boxes and the type of information provided in each, are below. WARNING: PROVIDES INFORMATION THAT, IF UNHEEDED, MAY RESULT IN PRESONAL INJURY. CAUTION: PROVIDES INFORMATION THAT, IF UNHEEDED, MAY RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
Unit 1: Introduction PRINT AREA CALCULATION Many print applications may not require labels that fill the entire printable area of the printer. Therefore it is important to understand how to calculate print size so that the printed image does not exceed the label size. There are two axis to consider when calculating for print position; horizontal and vertical. The horizontal axis is lateral positioning parallel with the print head and is measured from the right side of the media to the left.
Unit 1: Introduction delete all positioning commands to return the printer to its default state.
Unit 2: Programming Concepts PROGRAMMING CONCEPTS • • • • E/Pro Programming Reference Programming Language Selecting Protocol Codes Using Basic Print Position Commands 2-1 PN: 9001096E
Unit 2: Programming Concepts PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE A programming language for a printer is a familiar concept to most programmers. It is a group of commands that are designed to use the internal intelligence of the printer. The commands, which are referred to as SATO Command Codes, contain non-printable ASCII characters (such as , , ) and printable characters.
Unit 2: Programming Concepts SELECTING PROTOCOL CODES Protocol codes are the special control characters that prepare the printer to receive instructions. For example, the character tells the printer that a command code will follow and the character asks for the printer status. There are two pre-defined different sets of Protocol Control codes to choose from. Each set is made up of six special characters.
Unit 2: Programming Concepts USING BASIC It may be useful to test your printer using a BASIC program on a PC or write your actual production programs in BASIC. Whatever the reason, if working in BASIC, some of the following hints may be helpful. Set the WIDTH of the output device to 255 characters to avoid automatically sending and characters after every line. The command string should be continuous and uninterrupted by and/or commands.
Unit 2: Programming Concepts PRINTING WITH THE RS232C PORT 5 REM CL612 Parallel Example Identifies the program as a CL612e RS232C port print label. The “REM” prevents this data from being sent to the printer and displays it only on the screen. 10 E$=CHR$(27) Sets the“E$”string as an character. OPEN “COM1:9600,N,8,1,CS,DS”AS #1 Opens the COM1 port for output and sets the parameters as 9600 baud, No parity, 8 Data bits, 1 Stop bit and instructs the port to ignore the CTS and DSR control signals.
Unit 2: Programming Concepts PRINT POSITION COMMANDS There are three methods using command codes to properly orient print images on a label. They are as follows: MEDIA SIZE COMMAND The Media Size Command (A1) allows specification of the label width and length so the printer may autmatically adjust itself relative to the command entry. However, the label size specified and the actual label size must match.
Unit 2: Programming Concepts HORIZONTAL OFFSET COMMAND Allows print image orientation by combining a part of both methods above by establishing the media size and then orienting it through base reference point adjustment. EXAMPLE: A Printer with 8-dpmm: Label Width = 2" x 25.4 mm/in x 8 dpmm = 406 dots New Base Reference Point = Maximum Print Width - Label Width = (832 dots) - (406 dots) = 426 dots Each H command would have the value “426” added to it to correctly position each field.

Unit 6: Bi-Directional Communications INTRODUCTION Bi-Directional communications is a two-way communications protocol between the host and the printer enabling the host to monitor and control the printer’s operational status. The Bi-Com 5 protocol only works in the Multi-Job Buffer mode. GENERAL CONFIGURATION Refer to Appendix: Reference Table 40 for printer configuration commands.
Unit 6: Bi-Directional Communications ENQUIRE & RESPONSE ENQUIRE (ENQ) Upon receipt of an ENQ command, the printer responds with status information bounded by an STX/ETX pair. The status information is defined as follows: { # Byte ID }{ # Status Byte }{ # Byte Label Remaining }{ # Byte Job Name } ID Identifies the current print job ID. Is defined using the Job ID (ID) command transmitted with the print job. (2 bytes) Status Defines the current status of the printer.
Unit 6: Bi-Directional Communications OBTAIN HISTORY DATA (LW) This command enables the printer to send 500-items at a time of CR/LF history data to the host. Avoid any transmission to the printer while history data is being sent to the host. Also avoid the inclusion and use of this command in the print data. When the Item Number command is not in the receive data, or the command is incorrect, the item number is saved as “*****” and the status as “3” in the history.

Unit 7: Appendix GLOSSARY GLOSSARY AC (Alternating Current) Electrical current that reverses its direction regularly and continually. Accessory An optional assembly that may be used to provide an additional function. Active Tags RFID tags which use batteries as partial or complete source of power which are further differentiated by separating them into those with replaceable batteries and those which have the batteries inside a sealed unit. Also referred to as Utilized Active Tags.
Unit 7: Appendix GLOSSARY Bytes A collection of 8 bits used in the binary system. Capacity As it relates to RFID, the number of bits or bytes that can be programmed into a tag. This may represent the bits accessible to the user or the total number - including those reserved to the manufacturer (e.g., parity or control bits). Capture Window/Field Region of the scanner field in which an RFID tag will operate. Cavity A recessed area in something.
Unit 7: Appendix GLOSSARY Diode Allows current to flow in one direction but not the other to protect sensitive electronics. A diode functions by compositing two conductive materials with one possessing low resistance to electrical current on one side and high resistance on the other. Dipswitch Complex A group of tiny switches directly attached to a circuit board to enable configuration for a particular type of application. These switches are two-position: On/Off.
Unit 7: Appendix GLOSSARY Factory Programming Relative to RFID, the programming of information into a tag occurring as part of the manufacturing process resulting in a read-only tag. Field Programming In RFID, programming that usually occurs before the tag is installed on the object to be identified enabling the introduction of data relevant to the specifics of the application. However, the tag would typically have to be removed from its object.
Unit 7: Appendix GLOSSARY Key The button on a panel that may be pressed to send an electrical signal to influence a predetermined activity. Keyed A physical object shaped in a manner so as to prevent unwanted movement or to ensure desired movement. Kg (Kilogram) A unit of weight measure within the metric system. Kilo-Bytes Used to describe data transfer rates or storage capacity of approximately 1000 bytes.
Unit 7: Appendix GLOSSARY Modulation In RFID, the methods of altering carriers in order to transmit the encoded information. Nest A set of similarly shaped objects with one smaller and resting within the other. Nominal The point between a positive and negative deviation which is considered to be optimum. Nut A small metal block with a threaded hole through its center for screwing onto a bolt.
Unit 7: Appendix GLOSSARY Print Head The device on a direct thermal or thermal transfer printer containing the heating elements that causes an image to be transferred to print media. Processor A programmable device that performs all the instruction, logic, and mathematical processing in a computer - is the brains of the computer. The processor is a microchip that is installed on a motherboard (primary board) that coordinates hardware components. Also referred to as “CPU”.
Unit 7: Appendix GLOSSARY A system of finding the position or location of assets. RFID Tags A microchip attached to an antenna that is packaged in a way that it can be applied to an object. The tag picks up signals from, and sends signals to, a reader. The tag contains a unique serial number, but may have other information and come in many forms, such as smart labels that can have a barcode printed on it, or can simply be mounted inside a carton or embedded in plastic.
Unit 7: Appendix GLOSSARY Simultaneous To take place at the same time. Sleeve A thin hollow material that is inserted onto another to provide proportionate spacing. Snap Ring A circular clip that may be applied to a shaft, etc. to prevent another object from moving - used to retain objects in position. Solid An item that is not porous. An item that is not transparent or translucent. Spacer Any object of purpose to maintain a specific distance from two other objects - example: a sleeve or washer.
Unit 7: Appendix GLOSSARY Troubleshoot The act of locating the source of a problem or problems. Two-Dimensional Two of the projectories of an object: X axis is the distance left and right and the Y axis is the distance up and down. In a two-dimensional perspective, the Z axis is not recognized. Uniform The state of multiple objects being the same. Units Any fixed quantity, measure, etc.
