Using the Windows Driver To Produce PAL TM Print Command
Examples
To use the Windows driver to produce a PAL TM sample for use in host programming do the following:
1) Design the label as needed using suitable Windows application.
2) Where possible always use the printer resident font such as AMTDS Sans Serif.
3) Use bar code fonts for data fields to be printed as bar codes. Use the driver Advanced Properties
dialog box to select various options for the bar codes to be printed.
4) While working on the label format, print to the attached Fastmark printer as needed to finally adjust
the position of text, lines, boxes, graphics, and bar codes.
5) When the printed output closely matches the desired output, use the Print to File option of the driver
and give the output a descriptive name with a .txt extension. For example shipping.txt.
6) Edit this text file using any text editor for a sample PAL TM Print and Program commands. This file
may be further adjusted referring to the PAL TM Print and Program Reference Manual, or used as is. It
may be incorporated into a host program or just used as a reference.
