A format defines which fields appear and where the fields are
printed on the label. The printer requires this information in a
special form. This section describes how to create a sample
MPCLII format packet.
Make sure supplies are loaded, you have a fully charged battery,
the printer is connected to a host and ready to receive data, and
you have software in the printer. Refer your
Operator’s Handbook
for more information.
