A format defines which fields appear and where the fields are printed on the
label. The printer requires this information in a special form, using
Monarch® Printer Control Language II (MPCL). This section describes how
to create a sample MPCLII format packet.
Make sure supplies are loaded, you have a fully charged battery, the printer
is connected to a host and ready to receive data, and you have software in
the printer. Refer to your Operator’s Handbook for more information.
