Data Entry

Release 3.00
Leibinger-Jet 2 se
Inside the printer there is a input buffer of totally 256 characters available.
For every “PrintGo” the printer will check, if the amount of characters have been entered
on the input-buffer, which are given by the amount of the wildcard characters. If enough
characters have been received, they will be taken over to the data-buffer and will be
printed.
If not enough characters have been received, the characters are printed which are taken
over to the data-buffer at last (the previous text will be printed again).
Example for text input:
Fix text
Variable text/data field
Fix text
Content XXXX
pieces
The input of the fix text (the non-variable part of the text) can be done as usual. After the
input of the first text part, the definition of the wildcards for the variable data is carried
out:
By touching either several touching of the
<SHIFT>
button, further menus to enter small
letters, special characters and additional parameters are called-up.
In the menu “Additions”
<E60>
and with the button
<ExText>
you can set the required
wildcards to implement the variable external data via the interface (wildcards can be any
alphanumeric characters; in the shown example the “x” has been used as wildcards).
Print-out of our example:
After pressing the button
<Printstart>
the first four data bytes have to be sent via the
RS232 interface => e.g.
“1000”
After the first “PrintGo”-signal the following text will be printed out:
Content 1000 pieces
Now the second data record has to be transferred via the interface (this transmission can
already happen during the first print-out) => e.g.
“2345”
After the next “PrintGo”-signal the following text will be printed out:
Content 2345 pieces
