bar codes. For information regarding PAL

TM
Print and Program
Reference Manual.
The Windows driver included with the printer is an excellent method to generate PAL
TM
print
sequence based commands. For example, to easily determine which PAL
TM
print sequences are
used to produce a given label format, the Windows driver can be used to generate the necessary
commands. In this case the basic label format would be generated using a Windows program,
then the "print to file" option is selected. This will produce a file containing the exact commands
required to produce a given label format. Using this file as a template a programmer can
incorporate the necessary commands into the host or Windows based application. For more
information refer to the section titled Using the Windows Driver To Produce PAL
TM
Print
Command Examples.
