GETTING ST ARTED 1 This man ual provi des the ne cessary inform ation to d esign, wri te and print a M onarch ® Printer Contro l Language II (M PCLII) format on a M onarc h® 94 16 therm al di rect or therma l transfer Printe r . Before you rea d this m anual, re view the p rinter i nformation i n the Quick Referen ce or Equipm ent M anual .
Before Y ou Begin 1. Connect the p rinter to the host. Ref er to the Eq uipm ent Manu al for m ore inform ation. 2. Load sup plies in the printe r . Refer to the Eq uipm ent Ma nual for more in formation . 3. T urn on the printe r . 4. Set the com munic ation pa rameters an d configu re the prin ter .
2. T ype the followi ng cons tant text fiel d: C,325, 80,0 ,1,2 ,1,W ,C,0,0 ,"MO NARC H MARK ING" ,1 p 3. T ype the follow ing ba r code fiel d: B,1,12 ,F,1 85,1 15,1 ,2,120 ,5,L ,0 p 4.
9. T ype MODE COM1 :9600,N,8,1 at the DOS prom pt if you are using serial communic ations. This se ts the communica tio n par amet ers a t you r host . Thes e commun icatio n p arame ters m ust match those at yo ur printer . See "Setting C ommu nic ation P arameters ," in Chapter 2 or your host’ s docum entati on for more in formation .
7. Create a format pa cket, based on h ow you fil led out your worksheet. See Chapter 3, "De fining Fie lds," for more informati on. Determ ining F orma t Contents Before you la y out you r format, yo u need to ma ke a few decision s.
Drawing R ough Sketches After you de cide what in formati on you wa nt to print, sketch how you want the i nformation to appear o n the label . Note a ny areas that are preprinted on th e label , such as a logo .
If you want to use the supply layout gri ds, a copy of e ach is in Append ix D, " F ormat D esi gn T ool s." Considering Field T ypes After you sel ect a supply size , the next step in desig ning a fo rmat is to decid e what in formation you want to print on th e label .
Considering F onts When wor king with fon ts, you hav e three con sideratio ns: font appearance , font size (bi tmapped ), and font spaci ng (monospa ced or pr oportion al).
CONFIGURING THE PRINTER 2 This chapte r discusses ho w to N set c ommunicati on pa ramet ers. N upload the pri nter’s c onfi guration or font i nforma tion. N configure the printer usi ng onli ne config uration packets. N use i mmediat e comman ds to cont rol t he pri nter ’s ope ration at any tim e.
Setting Communica tion P a rameters Use the fol lowing in formati on if you are connecti ng to the prin ter’s 9-pi n seria l port . The comm unication p arameters at the printer mu st match those at the host, or you w ill n ot be able to communi cate.
Using MPCLII Conventions Here are some guidel ines to follow when using MPC LII. MPCLII Punctuat ion Use the following symbols when creating MPCLII packets: { start of header } end of h eade r p field separ ator , parameter separator "ABC" Quotation marks enclose ch aracter strings.
Standar d Synta x Gui deline s When creating MPC LII packets: N Begin e ach pa cket w ith a start of h eade r ( { ). N End ea ch packet wi th an end of h eade r ( } ). N Define no m ore than 1000 fields in a format. E ach p i ndica tes one field . However , options are not counte d as fields .
Using Online Configur ation P ackets Use onli ne configuratio n packets to chan ge the printer setti ngs. Y o u must send the online configuratio n packets one at a ti me, supplyin g all pa rameters for each packet. Leave th e parameters blank tha t you do no t need to chan ge.

DEFINING FIELD OPTIONS 4 This c hapter p rovi des a r eferenc e for d efini ng N field optio ns in formats N check digit packe ts. Defi ning Field Opt ions 4- 1.
Applying Field Options Field o ptions furth er define text and ba r code fiel ds. The text, constant text, o r bar code fiel d must b e previous ly define d before you can ap ply any fie ld optio n to it. Defi ne optio ns imm ediatel y after the field to whi ch they app ly .
Option 1 (Fix ed Data) Fixed da ta is inform ation (a compan y name or store num ber) you want to pri nt on all labels. Y ou can de fine fixed characters for a n entire field or for part of a field. Syntax R, 1,"f ixed cha r" p R1. R Opti on H ead er .
Option 4 (Copy Da ta) Y o u can create a fi eld that u ses data from another fi eld. Thi s is useful for cre ating merge d fiel ds or sub-field s. Y ou can copy the inform ation from mu ltipl e fields into one fi eld by apply ing the c opy procedure more than once.
Exampl e R,4,3, 1,3, 1,1 p Copies d ata from fie ld #3, starti ng at the fi rst positi on and co pying three charac ters. In the de stination fie ld, the in formati on is placed i n position 1 an d copied as fo rmatted da ta. Merging Fields Y ou ca n copy data to merge the co ntents of fields .

Fixing the Fir st Number in the Incrementing Sequence There are two ways to e nter the first n umber in the increm entin g sequence. Y ou can use batch data to de fine the fi rst number as a fi x ed ch a ra c te r . The first number in the sequence must contain the same amount of digits as the highest number to be counted.

3. Write the l etter codes in sequ ence, uni nterrupted, for e ach row . (row 1,po siti on 5 0) Z (row 2,po siti on 3 9) KzI (row 3,p osit ion 34 ) EzsF (row 4,p osit ion 30 ) DpZo D . . If the end of the l ine specifie s OFF dots (lower -case letters), the endin g lower -case letters can be omitted.
Graphi cs are store d in t he i mage buffer and remain the re until a nother form at is sent or the prin ter is turn ed off . Using T e mporary Storage Y o u shou ld use tempo rary s torag e whe n the grap hic imag e is used only in one format or your g raphic im age is very l arge.
Positi oning the Graphic Image This sectio n explai ns how to posi tion the g raphi c image w ithin a graphic packet head er , a fie ld of a graph ic packet, or w ithin a format.
Within the Field In a bitmap, co nstant text, line, or b ox field, the row and co lumn pa ramete rs control where an in divid ual fi eld or bitmapp ed row be gins i n relatio n to the coordi nates defi ned i n the grap hic head er .

Creating Bitm ap Fields This defi nes one row o f dots, starting at a specific row and column wit hin th e g raphi c imag e. E ach un ique row of d ots requires a bitmap fi eld. A bitma p fiel d can late r be repea ted by usin g a duplica te f ield. Syntax B, row, colu mn,a lgor ithm ,"data " p B1.
Creating Ne xt-Bitmap Fields This fiel d uses the p revious field’s row a nd column l ocations. It allows yo u to use the bi tmap or du plicat e field d ata witho ut having to recal culate row and column locati ons. This fi eld repre sents one row o f dots on the imag e.
Creating Duplic ate Fields If a line o f data is identical to a previou s bitmap or ne xt-bitma p field, the duplica te fiel d allow s you to re peat the dot sequ ence without ret yping the da ta. A dupl icate fi eld repre sents one ro w of dots on the imag e.

If you use the COPY com mand to downl oad your fo rmats, set flow control to DTR (not X ON/X OFF). Also, do not use the MS-DO S prompt from insid e Windo ws, because you wi ll ge t a framing error . Defining the Batch He ader Batch data is th e actual i nformatio n printed on the supply .

Sequential Method Using the seq uential me thod, you send al l your forma t and batch data at one ti me. Use thi s metho d when your a pplicati on does not requi re operato r interventi on to inp ut data.
T o use the batch qua ntity zero metho d: 1. Send the form at and a batch he ader in one fil e. The first ti me you send the b atch header , use the parame ter N (new b atch), and the parameter 0 for (zero quantity). Th is ensures the label is p roperl y po sition ed.
