Using the Windows Driver To Produce PAL TM Print Command Examples
To use the Windows driver to produce a PAL TM sample for use in host programming do the following:
1) Design the label as needed using suitable Windows application.
2) Where possible always use the printer resident font such as AMT Sans Serif.
3) Use bar code fonts for data fields to be printed as bar codes. Use the driver Advanced Properties dialog box
to select various options for the bar codes to be printed.
4) While working on the label format, print to the attached Fastmark printer as needed to finally adjust the
position of text, lines, boxes, graphics, and bar codes.
5) When the printed output closely matches the desired output, use the Print to File option of the driver and give
the output a descriptive name with a .txt extension. For example shipping.txt.
6) Edit this text file using any text editor for a sample PAL TM Print and Program commands. This file may be
further adjusted referring to the PAL TM Print and Program Reference Manual, or used as is. It may be
incorporated into a host program or just used as a reference.
