Capital and small letters are identified. A detailed description of the
commands follows but it must be underlined that if a command starts with
“;” it will not generate any action on the part of the printer. This command
may be used for comments if we register the commands in a text file.
The fastest and easiest way to work with this printer is to use the
accompanying program
DATECS Label Editor (LPeditWH.EXE)
with
the help of which you can arrange the elements of the label and see its
final appearance on the computer screen even before loading it into the
printer. You can also print it out as a test trial. In order to work with the
program successfully you will only need to have a general idea about the
functions of the printer.

No special knowledge of the command language will be needed.
It is, of course, possible to prepare the information for printing in
advance in a text file and send this over the serial interface. Here is a
description of one possible option for preparing a label. It includes the
following stages.

When working under DOS, the setup of the PC serial port is done
with the MODE COMn command in parallel to the setup of the printer, the
format of this command being:
MODE COMn: BaudRate,n,8,1
where “n” is the number of the serial
port and “BaudRate” is the set up speed of the printer.

Select a name for the form. In any case it is advisable that the first
line of the text file should include the command for deleting a form of the
same name (FK) - if such exists, it will be deleted and replaced with the
new one. You may then proceed with the loading of a new form
(command FS).

The length of the label is defined as well as the distance between
the separate labels. When using paper rolls these distances may be
arbitrarily selected and set but when working with self-adhesive labels,
the length of the label must be set as close to its actual dimensions as
possible or the result may be incomplete printouts or empty labels. The
command Q, with all demanded parameters, is placed at the beginning of
the text file. Other commands may also be located here - starting point (R),
select code table (I), print density (D) and printing speed (S).
