Downloading Methods
You can use pclOpen or pclWrite to write the packet to the printer,
or you can download the format and batch data using one of three
methods: sequential method, batch method, batch quantity zero
method. Refer to the Programmer Manual for more information.
Sequential Method
Using the sequential method, you send all your format and batch
data at one time. Use this method when your application does not
require operator intervention to input data. All data is sent down
at one time, and the printer then images each field. As soon as
the last field is imaged, your labels begin to print.
Example:
{Format}
{Batch Packet}
Batch Method
This is similar to the sequential method, but it is used when you
want to send multiple batches. All data for the first batch is sent at
one time, and the printer then images each field. As soon as the
last field for the first batch is imaged, labels begin to print. This
process is repeated for each subsequent batch.
Example:
{Format}
{Batch Packet}
{Batch Packet}
Batch Quantity Zero Method
You may use the batch quantity zero method when your
application requires operator intervention to enter data. While the
operator is entering data, the previous field is sent with a batch
quantity of zero. The printer images the field, but does not print it.
After the operator enters the data for the last field, the batch
quantity can be specified. The last remaining field is imaged, and
the label prints almost immediately.
