PRINT LANGUAGE INTRODUCTION

This section provides an introduction to basic PAL

TM

print language abilities including fonts and

bar codes. For information regarding PAL

TM

programming abilities, creating stand-alone

applications, and other advanced topics please refer to the Fastmark PAL

TM

Print and Program

Reference Manual.

The Windows driver included with the printer is an excellent method to generate PAL

TM

print

sequence based commands. For example, to easily determine which PAL

TM

print sequences are

used to produce a given label format, the Windows driver can be used to generate the necessary
commands. In this case the basic label format would be generated using a Windows program,
then the "print to file" option is selected. This will produce a file containing the exact commands
required to produce a given label format. Using this file as a template a programmer can
incorporate the necessary commands into the host or Windows based application. For more
information refer to the section titled Using the Windows Driver To Produce PAL
