GETTING STARTED

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

Monarch® Printer Control Language II (MPCLII) format on the Avery Dennison® Monarch® 9419

printer. The 9419 printer supports both thermal direct and thermal transfer printing. Review the

printer information in the Equipment Manual or Online Mode System Administrator’s Guide.

Note: Formats created for the 9416 and 9416XL printer print on the 9419 printer.

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 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 a format.

See “Defining Text Fields” in Chapter 3 for a list of available fonts for the printer. See Chapter 4,

“Defining Field Options,” for a list of available options for the printer.

Before You Begin

1. Connect the printer to the host. Refer to the Online Mode System Administrator’s Guide 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 the format. See “Designing a Format” for more information.

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

1-2 Packet Reference Manual

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" |

2. Type the following constant text field:

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

3. Type the following bar code field:

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

4. Type the following text field:

T,2,18,V,50,50,1,1,1,1,B,L,0,0,1 | }

This is an MPCLII format packet. Next, create a batch packet before printing the format.

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

{B,25,N,1 |

6. Type the following bar code data:

1,"02802811111" |

7. Type the following text field data:

2,"TEXT FIELD" | }

8. Save the file as SAMPLE.FMT.

9. Type MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1 at the Command prompt when using serial communications.

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

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

the host’s documentation for more information.

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

label prints:

{F,25,A,R,E,200,200,"Fmt 25" |

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

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

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

Sample Batch Packet

{B,25,N,1 |

1,"02802811111" |

2,"TEXT FIELD" | }
