Chapter6 Information for Application Development Utilizing Templates If you have used templates with a monochrome thermal printer, you can register the template to CW-C8000 Series and use the templates from your application that directly controls ZPL II commands. For details, see "Replacing from ZPL II Compatible Monochrome Printer" on page 348 . Since the ESC/Label commands and ZPL II commands are different in supported range and template file extension, you need to change some commands in accordance with the ESC/Label command specifications. For more details about the ESC/Label command specifications, refer to the “ESC/Label Command Reference Guide”. The procedure is as follows.
1 Register the image. ( Page 195 ) Register the image to the printer. 2 Register the template. ( Page 196 ) Register the template to the printer. If you use template files created by using the ZPL II commands, change the file extension so that the file is supported by the ESC/Label commands. In addition to that, delete commands that are not supported by the ESC/Label commands. 3 Link the template and the image. ( Page 200 ) Configure the settings to link the template and the image. 4 Set the resolution.
( Page 211 ) Select [Advanced settings] from the [Detailed settings] menus, then select [Replace settings from printer using ZPL II commands] and set the resolution that is the same as the resolution of the monochrome thermal printer you were using. 5 Print the template. To print labels using template files, change the file extension of the template file specified by the ZPL II commands in the application so that the file is supported by the ESC/Label commands. The template specified by the ZPL II command in the application, variable information, and the image are combined and printed. Print job Register CW-C8000 Print CW-C8000 365
