Description<br />

Addressing describes the process of printing an address<br />

information onto an object, so that it can be delivered by postal<br />

means. Usually addressing refers to applying the receivers<br />

address.<br />

<strong>AS</strong>Cll is the abbreviation for "American Standard Code for<br />

Information Interchange". The printer commands used in this<br />

manual are entered in the form of <strong>AS</strong>CII codes. Also decimal or<br />

hexadecimal codes may be used.<br />

The data information of a print medium is converted into a<br />

single-line barcode. This is done in a language-neutral and<br />

character-neutral manner. A barcode is easy to create and<br />

readable with the help of simple opto-electronic devices. It is<br />

printed in addition to textual information.<br />

Baud rate is the speed with which the data are transferred<br />

between the computer and the printer on the serial interface.<br />

The computer and the printer must have the same baud rate. It<br />

may range between 1,200 and 9,600 baud, depending on the<br />

computer used. The baud rate is only determined when a serial<br />

interface is used.<br />

Bitmap represents a collection of dots as a graphic or text<br />

graphic in output devices (printer, monitor).<br />

The buffer is a storage memory area in the printer. In the<br />

buffer, information which is destined for input or output is<br />

stored until it is processed.<br />

A cartridge is an ink container with an integrated printhead.<br />

Inserting a new cartridge always includes inserting a new<br />

printhead.<br />

A character set is defined specific to its application. It is usually<br />

a combination of letters, ciphers, lines and symbols within a<br />

font. However, character sets may also exclusively consist of<br />

symbols.<br />

Characters are understood to be letters, numbers and symbols<br />

which can be printed.<br />

Coding Coding describes the printing of a code. This code can be a 1-D<br />

code (e.g. EAN 128) or a 2-D code (e.g. Datamatrix 200).<br />

Configuration<br />

In a configuration, particular printer settings are ascertained.<br />

You may set up several configurations and save each one of<br />

them under its individual configuration number.<br />
