Print and Program Overview
Printers featuring PAL TM Print and Program ability can be used in several ways in
any given environment. This section describes 3 common ways this advanced
capability is used. For help and assistance determining the best way to use this
ability in your situation, please consult your sales representative.
Traditional printing
This environment represents the most common use of printers. Generally a
single print job (PAL
TM print sequences) generates a single label. In this role the
PAL TM Print and Program interpreter accepts the print job, performs the required
operator processing and prints the; label, tag, or ticket. Using a Windows driver
in conjunction with a Windows application program is a typical way to print in this
environment. Alternatively, PAL
TM print sequences may also be generated by
any host application written to take advantage of this powerful language.
When a PAL
TM capable printer is used this way, no special “PAL TM program” must
be loaded on the printer. Print sequences generated by a Windows driver or host
program are simply sent to the printer resulting in print output just like traditional
printers.
Legacy data stream interpretation
PAL
TM Print and Program capable printers uniquely address applications where
upgrading to modern cost effective technology is desired. Often cost-prohibitive
software reprogramming to change a data stream prevents an organization from
moving to new printing technologies
