Print a New Label Format
If a known printable format is unavailable then a new format may be created
using an available text editor. Creating and sending the simple format listed
below should help isolate the problem.
! 0 100 120 1
TEXT 2 25 25 This is a test
END
If the printer does not print this label but does print labels that were
prepared on another system, the system being used may not be compatible
with the printer. The most common cause of this is improper end-of-line
termination.
Check the Label Format Header Line
When a particular label format does not print properly or is cut off at the
bottom, the problem commonly occurs in the header line. Refer to the
Cognitive Programmer’s Guide header line section before continuing which is
located on the Companion CD or the Cognitive web site:

“Comment Out” Portions of the Non-Working Label Format
Improper printer commands can be isolated by placing a "C" before selected
CPL command lines. Begin by commenting out the most complex lines first
and try printing the format again. If the problem persists, try commenting
out every line between the header line and the END statement and then add
lines one at a time until the problem recurs in order to see which lines are at
fault.
Once the flawed portion of the format has been isolated, reference the
Cognitive Programmer’s Guide to examine the code for errors or test the code
by itself in a simplified format. When examining label formats, look for
instances where the letters "O" or "I" have been incorrectly entered for the
numbers 0 and 1. These are very common typographical errors.
