HOW TO PRINT STORED FORMATS

The O’Neil thermal printers offer the ability to store a format that co

ntains the structure of the image to be printed together

with fixed data. Variable data is supplied at the time of printing. The MFLASH Windows Configuration Program or the

OPDI Suite of programs can be used to download the format.

To create a format to store, simply create a file with a singl

e Easy Print print job with data in all fields. This file can contain

any fonts, graphics, or bar codes that are in the printer. You can test the file by sending it to the printer. Once the print

job is exactly as you want it, replace any fields with variable data (data that you want to be able to change when you print

the stored format) replaced by a unique variable name that begins with “&” (0x26). Any fields with fixed data can remain

as they are.

Use the MFLASH Windows Configuration Prog

ram or the OPDI Suite to download the format. When you download the

format, you will need to give it a five character and a single character name. In addition, you can supply a version

number, date, and description (up to 20 characters).

Printing of stored formats will be available in a future release of firmware.
