Filed:

Jun 3, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/071676

Inventors:

Mark W. Roth - Miamisburg OH

Assignee:

Monarch Marking Systems, Inc. - Dayton OH

International Classification:

G06K 1906
G06K 1900

US Classification:

395114

Abstract:

A barcode printer system is shown having a host processing system in communication with a barcode printer. The host processing system converts multi-level user input printer commands into a data stream in the printer control language of the barcode printer for transmission to the printer. The host processing system stores a number of printer command function routines, each of which is associated with a number of multi-level user input printer commands. Each user input printer command includes format and data information in a single command. A low level user input printer command, however, may include only a user readable word and data, the host processing system automatically utilizing stored default values for the format information when converting the command. A higher level user input printer command may include an abbreviation designating the command and values for one or more format variables as well as data. The multi-level user commands are not fixed in length so as to be user friendly for low level users but flexible for higher level users.

G06K 1500

US Classification:

395117

Abstract:

A hand held labeler is programmable to operate in accordance with a sequence of commands forming an application program that is downloaded to the labeler and stored in a random access memory. Each command is associated with a command routine selected from a set of command routines that is stored in a read only memory. The commands of the application program and associated command routines are executed by a microprocessor of the labeler to perform flexible data collection, data manipulation and label printing operations.
