You use the RASCAL printer Control Language (RCL) to print labels and operate
the printer. There are several RCL commands. However, you need only three
commands to design and print a label.
NOTE:The printer prints on labels, tags, and thermal paper. For simplicity, this
manual refers to all of these supplies as labels.
The label design is called a format. A format consists of one or more fields, which
contain data.
To create a label:
1. Design a format to resemble how you want the label to look.
2. Define the fields using the ^R command.
3. Incorporate the format using the ^T command.
4. Specify print data and the quantity using the ^P command.
5. Create the data stream.
6. Download the data stream.
7. Modify a format as necessary.
This chapter guides you through this procedure, using a sample label for an item in
an appliance store. The description of each step refers to the sample label. At the
end of each step is an example of information you need to create the sample
appliance label.
See Chapter 3, “Command Reference,” for more information on RCL commands.
