Using VARIABLE Commands
Printer configuration must be handled through VARIABLE
commands. The sample label formats in this section are provided for
your convenience, to help you set the printer up for some common
configurations. To use these label formats, copy the format to Windows
Notepad or a similar ASCII text editor, edit the label format as
required, and then print the label format.
NOTE: If you are printing the files directly from Notepad or another Windows-
based program, be aware that most Windows printer drivers will not work with
CognitiveTPG printers.
The "generic ASCII" printer driver supplied with Windows will pass the label
format to the printer without interference. Please install and use this driver
when sending these sample formats to the printer.
Do not use the CognitiveTPG Windows driver when sending these formats to
the printer from Windows. The CognitiveTPG Windows driver converts
Windows documents to ASCII label formats; thus, your label formats will print
as they appear in the text editor rather than directly control the printer as
intended.
Most of these sample formats use the VARIABLE WRITE command.
Familiarize yourself with this command before using the samples.
