1.4 Using this document

1 Preface 1.1 Summary This document explains the technical information necessary for using ESC/Label commands to develop printer control software (drivers, utilities, applications) for the CW-C8000 series. As this document does not explain the specifications for ESC/Label commands in detail, you must refer to the ESC/Label Command Reference Guide. 1.2 Scope of this document This document applies to the development of printer control software for the CW-C8000 series using ESC/Label commands.

1.3 Reference materials  ESC/Label Command Reference Guide 1.4 Using this document This document is to be used as a reference for the design of user interfaces and the design of printer controls, for the functions that are recommended for inclusion in printer control software. Refer to this document to consider which functions should be included in printer control software, according to the target market and users. The UI samples and icons that appear in this document are included as examples of how users perform operations and the information that users want to know, but are not specifications about how printer control software should be implemented.

The usage cases that are described for each setting are intended to help users understand the settings, and should be used actively in the help functions and manuals for printer control software. Epson ESC/Label Application Development Guide CW-C8000 Series Rev. B Page 4

2.1 Model classification

1.5 Definition of terms The terms that are used in this document are defined as follows. Table 1.5-1 List of terms Epson ESC/Label Application Development Guide CW-C8000 Series Rev. B Page 5 Term Description Printer control software Refers to drivers, utilities, and applications, or a general term for such software. Gap, gap between labels For die-cut labels, refers to gaps between labels that are arranged on the backing sheet. The printer uses sensors to detect gaps between labels, in order to determine the optimum printing position for labels. The user can set it for full-page labels, too, within a certain range.

Equivalent to gap between printable areas, which is the distance from the bottom of one printable area to the top of the next printable area. Left gap Refers to the distance from the left edge of the paper to the left edge of the printable area. Right gap Refers to the distance from the right edge of the printable area to the right edge of the paper. Distance from the hole to the media edge For tag papers, refers to the distance from the trailing edge of the hole for position detection to the top of the next printable area. Black mark, BM Refers to the black mark on the back of the label papers.

The printer uses sensors to detect the black mark, in order to determine the optimum printing position for labels. Sometimes it is abbreviated as BM. Hole Refers to holes, long holes, or cut-outs of tag papers. The printer can determine the optimum printing position of tags according to sensor detection of holes and user settings. Batch Refers to printing multiple labels at one time. Job Refers to a group of multiple labels that the user prints at one time. Format Refers to a group of commands for printing labels, or an image that is rendered by that group of commands. A group of commands starts with ^XA and ends with ^XZ. A label format for printing includes at least one field.

Field Refers to a group of commands for arranging objects, such as text, barcodes, images, and graphics, in a label format, and the images for each object that is rendered by that group of commands. A field whose content does not change within a batch is called a fixed field, and a field that changes is called a variable field. Rendering canvas Refers to the printer's internal memory for rendering images for printing label formats. One sheet of memory is reserved, and a field rendered, for each label format. ICM Abbreviation for Image Color Management ICC Abbreviation for International Color Consortium
