3.9 Printable Data Instructions
Select a Layout
Before any variable data can be transmitted to a preprogrammed layout,
the layout must be selected by means of a
LAYOUT
RUN
instruction. If
the layout has been saved in the printer’s permanent memory ("/c") as
described in Chapter 3.8, it should be copied to the temporary memory
("tmp:"), and be run from there.
LAYOUT RUN "<tmp:><layout name>"
<layout name>
is the name given to the layout in the LAYOUT INPUT instruction and must
be enclosed by quotation marks.
Example:
COPY "/c/Shipping Label","tmp:Shipping Label"
↵
LAYOUT RUN "tmp:Shipping Label"
↵
Transmit Variable Data to a Layout
After having selecting a layout using a LAYOUT RUN instruction, you
can transmit the variable data to their respective layout fields:
•
°e transmission starts with a start-of-text separator.
•
°en comes a block of data to the field containing
VAR1$
.
•
A field separator separates the blocks of data.
•
Next block goes to the field containing
VAR2$
.
•
A field separator separates the blocks of data and so on.
•
°e last block must also end with a field separator.
•
°e end of transmission is indicated by an End-of text separator.
By default, the following separators should be used:
• Start separator:
STX
(ASCII 02 dec)
• Field separator:
CR
(ASCII 13 dec)
• End separator:
EOT
(ASCII 04 dec)
All separators can be changed at will using a
FORMAT INPUT
instruction,
see Chapter 5.5.
