Programming
There are two different ways of setting up the printout: Text oriented and driver oriented style.
Command code The printout can be seen as the page of a simple word processor. You send text and
graphics to the printer, which prints the information in the same sequence as the data is
received. Design features are limited to the font stored in the flash PROM of the printer.
Text and logotypes can also be printed in landscape orientation.
There are two text cursors, one for portrait, and one for landscape. The start positions of
the cursors are the upper left corner for the portrait cursor, and the upper left corner for the
landscape cursor, see Figure 17, Printout Styles, on page 32.
You can switch between these cursors at any time; the cursor will retain its last position on
the printout.
Driver oriented When a Windows driver is used, you can use any Windows program to design the printout
with text, graphics, bar codes or whatever you want to print and in any orientation you
want.
The Windows driver issues all the necessary commands. The cut, present, and black-mark
commands to send are indirectly selected through the settings in the Windows dialogue
boxes.
