User Defined Label
Internally generated, these labels are printed at pre-selected media type, speed, and heat
settings. Changes to these print settings can be made via the Menu System or through host
commands. When printing, use full width media to capture the entire format; otherwise, adjust
the printer and set the Label Width menu setting.
(1) Press the CANCEL KEY to stop printing.
(2) A printing delay can be set; see Print Test Rate (in Diagnostics).
4.4.1 User-Defined Label
The User-Defined Label allows a template to be populated by variable data (via the printer’s
control panel or a USB QWERTY keyboard). The template is a stored label format, where fields
delimited by an ampersand (&) become variable.
The printer will prompt you to enter the variable field data. For example, the stored label format
could contain the data 19131423443&ENTER NAME&
Afterward, when recalled from memory, the printer’s display will indicate the variable field: ENTER
NAME
(1) Variable data can be any part of the DPL format - font ID, positioning, etc.
(2) No error checking will be performed.
(3) Supports .dlb, .dpl, .prn, and .txt file types.
