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.

The following diagram illustrates an example of pin 1 orientations for the
three locations:
The rotation byte in binary is 00010011. Convert 00010011 binary to 13
hex. The record becomes
Q70213EA.
Q8
Reserved for future use.
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.
