3.   Printing a Label

Before you can print a label, you must have formats in memory.
To receive format and label data records, you must:

•

attach a fully charged handle.

•

set the communications parameters using Format 81.
See "Special Operating Features" for instructions about
Format 81.

•

connect a cable interface to the host system.  See
Chapter 7, "Specifications and Accessories" for a list of
cables.

The printer will automatically print a label once the data is sent
to the printer.  A programming specialist will provide the data
records you need in the printer. 

The remainder of this chapter tells how to receive records from
the host system.
