GETTING STARTED 1

This manual provides the necessary information to design, write and print a

Monarch® Printer Control Language II (MPCLII) format on a Monarch® 9416®

or 9416® XL® printer. These printers support both thermal direct and thermal

transfer printing. Before you read this manual, review the printer information in

the Quick Reference or Equipment Manual.

About This Manual

You do not need to be a programmer to use this manual, but you must be

familiar with creating text files and using basic MS-DOS® commands. This

chapter describes how to

¨create and download a sample MPCLII packet.

¨use the Supply Layout Grid and Format Worksheet.

¨categorize data into field types and select fonts to use in your format.

See "Defining Text Fields" in Chapter 3 for a list of available fonts for your

printer. See Chapter 4, "Defining Field Options," for a list of available field

options for your printer.

About the Printers

The following features are standard on the printer.

Feature 9416*9416XL

Scalable font V1.33 software or greater Version 2.0 or greater

International fonts No Version 2.0 or greater

Prints 2D bar codes PDF417, MaxiCode, and

Quick Response

PDF417, MaxiCode, Quick Response, and

Data Matrix using Version 2.1 or greater

Memory Card No Yes

*Formats created for the 9416 printer print on the 9416XL printer. However, formats created for the 9416XL

printer may not print correctly on the 9416 printer.

Before You Begin

1. Connect the printer to the host. Refer to the Equipment Manual for more

information.

2. Load supplies in the printer. Refer to the Equipment Manual for more

information.

3. Turn on the printer.

4. Set the communication parameters and configure the printer. The

communication parameters at the printer must match those at the host. See

Chapter 2, “Configuring the Printer,” for more information.

5. Design your format. See “Starting with a Design” for more information.

6. Download your format to the printer. See Chapter 6, “Printing,” for more information.

GETTING STARTED 1-1

Creating an MPCLII Format Packet

A format defines which fields appear and where the fields are printed on the label. The printer

requires this information in a special form, using Monarch® Printer Control Language II (MPCL).

This section describes how to create a sample MPCLII format packet.

For detailed information about the format header, text, constant text, and bar code fields, see

Chapter 3, “Defining Fields.” For information about batch packets, see Chapter 6, “Printing.”

1. Type the following format header in any text editor:

{F,25,A,R,E,200,200,"FMT-25" p

2. Type the following constant text field:

C,140,40,0,1,2,1,W,C,0,0,"SAMPLE FORMAT",1 p

3. Type the following bar code field:

B,1,12,F,85,40,1,2,40,5,L,0 p

4. Type the following text field:

T,2,18,V,50,50,1,3,1,1,B,L,0,0,1 p}

You have created a format packet for your MPCLII printer. Now, a batch packet must be created

before you can print the format.

5. Type the following batch header, after the text field line:

{B,25,N,1 p

6. Type the following bar code data:

1,"02802811111" p

7. Type the following text field data:

2,"TEXT FIELD" p}

8. Save your file as SAMPLE.FMT.

9. Type MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1 at the DOS prompt if you are using serial communications.

This sets the communication parameters at your host. These communication parameters

must match those at your printer. See “Setting Communication Parameters,” in Chapter 2 or

your host’s documentation for more information.

10. Type COPY SAMPLE.FMT COM1. The following 2 inch by

2 inch label prints.
