Overview
ATCs
new
CodaJet XP Print Server is an enhanced replacement for
the CodaJet MIO plug-in controllers used in HP LaserJets but
provides faster, high-resolution throughput.
*The only
requirement is your printer be PCL 5e compatible or higher.
It features an Ethernet 100BaseT
input port and a bi-directional parallel output port. Its powerful RISC
processor performs a Code V to PCL conversion but is transparent to
PCL data. It simplifies the generation of high-resolution bar code forms and
labels in response to QMS Magnum Code V (VGL) data streams
extensively used in main-frame and mid-range systems. In addition to a
multiple-format download, "fill-in-the-blanks" function, a new CodaJet
feature enables a remap of the variable data strings in a legacy data file
into an entirely new format that is stored in the printer. Complex forms and
labels are generated with minimum data transmission to the printer providing
higher printer throughput. Fifty-two bar code types including popular
two-dimensional codes are supported.
The CodaJet XP serves as a
filter in the printer data stream that is transparent to PCL data but
responds to the Code V ASCII printable command sequences identified
by a "trigger character". Its fast RISC processor translates the Code V
commands to PCL graphics for drawing by the printer. The new programs
provide more attractive, faster, high-resolution print compared to previous
CodaJets and facilitate use of the LaserJets fonts in Code V mode.
The CodaJet XP is supported
by many popular WYSIWYG label software packages including TL Ashford?
in AS400 applications and Strandware LabelMatrix , Teklynx
Labelview and Loftware for PC and server applications.

Re-map variable data strings within a legacy format
data stream into a new format stored in printer. Reuse any variable data
string in multiple print fields and new bar code types in the new
format.
-
Repetitive Forms Print with
Auto Increment:
Label formats may be repeated across and/or
down the page while simultaneously incrementing or decrementing number
fields and bar code values.
