Programming Manual 1. Introduction 1. Introduction This manual presents the commands that are used with the SATO RISC Printers to produce labels with logos, bar codes and alphanumeric data. All of the RISC commands use the same syntax. Some commands refer- ence a physical point on the label using horizontal and vertical dot refer- ence numbers. The allowable range for these references is dependent upon the particular printer to accomodate different print widths and reso- lutions. These differenc

1. Introduction Programming Manual 1.1 The SATO RISC Programming Language A programming language for a printer is a familiar concept to most pro- grammers. It is a group of commands that are designed to use the internal intelligence of the printer. The commands, which are referred to as RISC Command Codes, contain non-printable ASCII characters (such as , , ) and printable characters. These commands must be assembled into an organized block of code to be sent as one data stream to

The following two examples in BASIC show a typical example using these hints. Both of these examples use the Standard Protocol codes. 1.5 Printing with the Parallel Port 10 E$=CHR$(27) Sets the “E$” string as an character 20 WIDTH “LPT1:”,255 Sets the width of the output to 255 characters 30 LPRINT E$;"A";

1. Introduction Programming Manual 1.7 The Print Area The maximum print area for the various RISC printers are listed in the table on the next pages. Most of your label applications will not require tags/labels that fill the entire print area, therefore it is important to under- stand how to work with labels that do not use the entire print area. The goal is to help you avoid printing where no label exists, which may lead to print head damage, not to mention frustration when you cannot see the p

1. Introduction Programming Manual There are two methods available to make sure your printed output will appear correctly on your label. They are as follows: 1.8 First Method: Using Base Reference Point Send the Base Reference Point command as part of your data to the printer to set a new base reference point for your label. Calculate the dis- tance (in dots) from the normal base reference point to the closest edge of the label. Issue the Base Reference Point command A3 after the Start comm

Programming Manual 1. Introduction On the following 2 pages, the methods above are described with a sample tag/label output. These samples reflect how the printed information would appear on a 128mm wide label. If you want to test any of the sample tag/ label outputs and are using tags/labels less than 128mm in width, we sug- gest that you add the Base Reference Point command to the data stream in order for the images to print on your tags/labels. Warning You must be careful not to print off the
