Part 1; selecting a label for printing over Ethernet.
As mentioned in the new features section, functionality has been added in order to be able to select a label for
printing by sending a command over Ethernet. To make that possible, we have actually added two commands that
perform the exact same operation, selecting a label for printing.
Select Label command standard version (Unicode)
The first command is in line with the default command protocol as is used in the X-series. The command provided
is called SELECT_LABEL. The command must be used with 1 parameter, the location of the label. The label that is
selected for printing needs to be in the controller.
The full command is as follows: SELECT_LABEL \NANDflash\QicControl\Labels\barcodes.X18
The first part is the command, SELECT_LABEL. This part is followed by a space character which is followed by the
filename of the label complete with the full path. The text of this part must be Unicode encoded. Here a real
example including the header and dummy CRC characters at the end (the "." Characters are actually <NULL>
characters. The "." Is used to make it more readable and shorter):
^R.US0000095SELECT_LABEL<SP>\.N.A.N.D.f.l.a.s.h.\.Q.i.c.C.o.n.t.r.o.l.\.L.a.b.e.l.s.\.b.a.r.c.o.d.e.s...X.1.8.&%
This example shows the header indicating a payload of 95 bytes,
<SP> is the space character (0x20),
\.N.A.N.D.f.l.a.s.h.\.Q.i.c.C.o.n.t.r.o.l.\.L.a.b.e.l.s.\. is the path to the label location
b.a.r.c.o.d.e.s...X.1.8. is the filename of the label
&% are the two dummy CRC characters (could also be 0xFF)
The controller will respond with ^....0000002OK##
When the command has been send, the controller will select it for printing and show the selected label on the
display in the "Live preview" area.
The extension used behind the label filename also needs to be added as one can see above. This is done because the
controller can also contain labels which are created by an external application.
Extensions that one can come across are:
X18, labels made on the TsC20 controller with a X18 coding unit
X54, labels made on the TsC20 controller with a X54 coding unit
X72, labels made on the TsC20 controller with a X72 coding unit
PRN, PNL, labels exported from Nicelabel using the windows driver for the X-series
QDL, a legacy format that was used in the past with PC software QicDraw, which is obsolete.
QDM, a multi label format containing labels that will be printed sequentially.
