Creating an MPCLII Format Packet
A format defines which fields appear and where the fields are printed on the
label. The printer requires this information in a special form. This section
describes how to create a sample MPCLII format packet.
Make sure supplies are loaded, you have a fully charged battery, the printer
is connected to a host and ready to receive data, and you have software in
the printer. Refer to your Equipment Manual for more information.

{F,25,A,R,E,200,200,"FMT-25" p
