UBI EasyCoder 301 Direct Protocol – Programmer's Guide Ed. 1

Chapter 1 Introduction

Chapter 1

Introduction

UBI Direct Protocol is an easy-to-use printer programming lan-
guage that has been developed for use with the computer-control-
led direct thermal and thermal transfer printers manufactured by
United Barcode Industries (UBI).

UBI Direct Protocol can be used in two ways:
• To create label layouts consisting of fields with fixed or variable

information. A layout can then be selected and provided with
variable input from the host computer in the form of a simple
string of data.

• To send input data and formatting commands as a continuous

string of data directly from the host computer.

In both cases, UBI Direct Protocol provides a flexible error handler,
which allows you to compose your own error messages in any lan-
guage.

UBI Direct Protocol has been created with two main types of appli-
cation in mind:
• Applications where the end-user requires a simple printer control

program, but needs a versatile error handler.

• Applications which have a comprehensive printer control program

in the host computer.

Refer to chapter 13 in this manual for lists of the various commands
in UBI Direct Protocol.

We recommend that you have the following manuals accessible:
• EasyCoder 301 Installation and Operation Manual
• This Programming Manual.
