Your Monarch® Sierra Sport 2™ 9460™ printer uses the RCL
control language to print labels. There are several RCL
commands. However, you need only three commands to design and
print labels.
The printer prints on labels, tags, and receipt
paper. For simplicity, this manual refers to all of
these supplies as labels.
The label design is called a format. A format consists of one or more
fields, which contain data.
To create a label:
1. Sketch a format to resemble how you want the label to look.
2. Define the fields using the ^R command.
3. Create the format using the ^T command.
4. Specify print data and the quantity using the ^P command.
5. Create the data stream.
6. Download the data stream from the host to the printer.
7. Modify the format as necessary.
This chapter guides you through this procedure, using a sample label
for an item in an appliance store. The description of each step refers
to the sample label. At the end of each step is an example of
information you need to create the sample appliance label.
See Chapter 3, “Command Reference,” for more information on RCL
commands.
