Extern Text
With the
<Extern Text>
object it is possible to use external text files as a data
source for the print-out. There are three options for using the external data:
1.
A fixed length character string shall be transferred either via a RS232 or
Ethernet connection. For this requirement you can use the function
<Extern
Text fixed length>.
2.
A variable length character string shall be transferred either via a RS232 or
Ethernet connection. For this requirement you can use the function
<Extern
Text variable length>.
3.
The data is read from an.txt file saved on an external storage. This can
either be an USB stick or an SD card. This function is called
<Mailing>.
Requirements <Extern Text> – fixed and variable length
You have to set the interface parameters in the interface dialog box.
To use the
<Extern Text>
function you will have to create an extern text
object. The parameters for the object are set in the
<Extern Text>
dialog
box. For an
<Extern Text>
object with a fixed-length character string you
will have to define the number and the characters for the wildcards and an
optional offset. For an
<Extern Text>
object with a variable-length string
you will have to define additionally a
<Start symbol>
and
<End symbol>
.
You can send the serial data either via a RS232 or an Ethernet connection.
INFORMATION
The data can be transferred with any terminal software e.g. like Hyperteminal.
You have to make sure that the parameters in the terminal software correspond
with the parameter set for the JET3up.
Shoot & Print
Alternatively the data can be sent with a bar code scanner connected to the RS232
interface. The data is coded as bar code, read with a bar code scanner and finally
sent to the printer through the RS 232 interface. Working with this method avoids
errors by wrong data input. Suitable bar code scanners are optionally available.
For this option a bar code scanner with serial interface is required!
A bar code scanner with a USB interface (HID device) cannot be used in
combination with the <Extern Text for serial interface>
.
