Bar Code Printer Connectivity Options - DATAMAX - #1

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

DMXConnect

DMXConnect is a comprehensive toolbox of solutions designed to increase a Datamax printer's value and performance in any application. Solutions range from simple port options for easy installation, to sophisticated design tools that create intelligence in the printer, allowing it to replace an entire workstation. Many of these solutions work in conjunction with one another, but all can be used individually. Their use or selection is determined entirely by the application. To take advantage of the tools available, and the solutions that can be achieved, using DMXConnect, it is necessary to understand all of its components and how they complement one another.

DMXConnect is divided into three sections and many components can be used in conjunction with other DMXConnect solutions.

Enhanced Applications

The choice of a thermal printer is defined by the application. Often the printer is a dumb device at the end of a receiving line of communication. With DMXConnect Application Enhancement, that printer becomes an intelligent, dynamic, and interactive component of the system, allowing the printer to replace the terminal/host computer that once drove it. Application Enhancement is designed to increase a printer's capabilities in a particular application. These revolutionary tools are all used in conjunction with other DMXConnect solutions and are designed to create more value in a printer investment.

MCL Collection: MCL (Macro Command Language) is a rapid application development (RAD) tool suite designed specifically for data collection applications. Datamax is the first thermal printer manufacturer to offer this unique capability. MCLscript, the result of an MCL application development effort, can now be ported to and run on an appropriately configured Datamax printer.
