Q2
This record contains the index number in hex of the type of device to be
handled. The following device types and their index numbers are
available for handling:
To select a 28-pin PLCC device, send the following Q2 record:
Q20202FB
.
If the index number is 16, the record converts 16 decimal to 10 hex and
looks like this:
Q20210ED
.
The remote computer can download the most current device list
contained in the 2500 by sending an @15 command.
If you need to handle a device type not currently defined, you can use a
Q3 record in place of the Q2 record to define the device type. A Q2 or Q3
record must be present or an error is displayed.
Q3
This record type is used instead of a Q2 record to define a custom device
length. It contains a 4-digit field defining the device length in thousands
of an inch, represented in hex.
The length of a device is defined as the distance between the outermost
extensions of the device (pins included) in the direction of travel through
the 2500’s track. The device length must be represented as an integer
before it is converted to a hex value.
To define a device with a length of .491 inches long:
1. Convert 0.491 into an integer by dividing it by 0.001. The result is 491.
2. Convert 491 (decimal) to 01EB (hex).

Q6
This record contains print density information. It is allowed one data byte
and is defined as follows:
To select a print density of 26 CPI for the dot matrix printer, the record
would be
Q60201FC
. If this record is not received, the 12 CPI print
density is assumed.
Q7
This record defines the device pin 1 orientation at three locations on the
2500:
• Out of the input tube.
• The label application area.
• Into the output (receiving) tube.
This information allows the 2500 to rotate the device correctly before it
inserts it into the programming station, labels it, and inserts it into an
output (receiving) tube.
The location of pin 1 with respect to the 2500 and the direction of travel, is
represented as a number from 0 to 3 displayed in the diagram below:
All three pin locations are represented in one-binary byte that is
converted to hex. An example of the rotation byte is illustrated below.

00 = Auto-Select 00 = Auto-Select
01 = 26 CPI 01 = 28 CPI
02 = 26 S CPI (Short) 02 = 28 S CPI (Short)

04 = 16 T CPI (Tall) 04 = 11 CPI

Q9
A termination record for a block of label records. There is no data field.
Only one termination record is used in a Label Hex Format file. Usually,
only one header record is used, although multiple header records are
allowed.
Creating Hex Label
Records
You can create a Hex Label Format file using a standard text editor,
although it is easier to use a program that can create a Hex Label Format
file, such as the LABEL program included with the ProMaster 2500. You
can use this program, which is written in the C programming language,
on any computer able to run a C compiler. The LABEL program creates a
file named
label.hex
after you enter the labeling information. You can
compile the source for this program, included in this chapter, using any C
compiler.
Example of the Hex Label
File Format
A typical Hex Label Format file used for downloading labeling and
device information to the 2500 is shown below:

The elements of this file are one Q0 record, one Q1 record defining the
labeling information “LABEL,” CR, “TEXT,” CR a Q2 record defining the
device type, a Q6 record defining print density information, a Q7 record
defining pin 1 orientation, and one Q9 record.
One Q0 record comprised of the following character pairs:
Q0
Label record type — Q0 indicates a header record.
01
Record length — Indicates that 1 hex byte follows in the record.
FE
Checksum.
