Blazer Compatibility
As shipped, Barcode Blaster, Solus, Blaster Advantage, Advantage LX,
Advantage DLX, and C-Series printers are not compatible with older
Barcode Blazers, or with enhanced Blazers operating in nonlinear dot
time mode. High speed Blasters can closely emulate Barcode Blazers.
Solus, Advantage, and C-Series printers are more limited in their
Blazer emulation.
As a rule, only use Blazer emulation mode if you are replacing an older
Barcode Blazer and must avoid modifying any label formats or
software. Do not use Blazer emulation mode if you can print
successfully without it.
Blazer emulation mode is controlled by the VARIABLE MODE
command. VARIABLES ON/OFF controls access to VARIABLE MODE.
Please refer to these command descriptions before using the label
formats.
The following label format sets up any Barcode Blaster to emulate an
enhanced Barcode Blazer operating in linear dot time mode:
! 0 0 0 0
VARIABLE MODE 1
VARIABLE WRITE
END
The following label format will set up a high speed Blaster to emulate
a non-enhanced Blazer or an enhanced Blazer operating in nonlinear
dot time mode. Adjust the second parameter in the VARIABLE MODE
command to compensate for the speed of the Blazer that you are
replacing. The value shown (70) will vertically scale all labels to 70% of
their normal height.
! 0 0 0 0
VARIABLE MODE 2 70
VARIABLE WRITE
END
