Introduction
IMPORTANT : We highly recommend to read the introduction first !!
• The described commands and sequences are tested and approved with original cab printers.
cab Produkttechnik cannot guarantee that all functions are available on OEM products.
• All sample labels are created with a 300 dpi Apollo-series printer,
• All measurements are in millimeters for the usage in international markets- Label positions have to
be recalculated if the printer is set to "country = USA".
• Some described functions are only available if your printer contains the actual firmware. We highly
recommend to download and install the actual firmware release from our website at:
http://www.cabgmbh.com
• We tried our best to write an easy understandable programmer´s manual which should contain every
possible function of cab printers.
Multiple different methods have been used to make sure that every shown example works properly
and a few proof reads have been done to avoid any error in this manual.
Nevertheless - we would appreciate your comments , where more explanation is required and where
we have to do things better. Every comment is welcome and will influence our future work.
Thank you for your help !
Nomenclature, Syntax of the commands
• All commands are accepted when the line end identifier is transmitted, with the exception of ESC
commands, they are processed as soon as the required character is received.
• Carriage returns are not displayed in the headlines and not in the example files of this manual, to
keep a better overview. Carriage Returns (ASCII 13, HEX 0D) are only shown in the syntax
description in italic letters ( CR ).
You may use either CR (carriage return), LF (line feed) or CR/LF (carriage return/ line feed)
(See the ASCII table in the APPENDIX of this manual)
• It is not required to use special charcters to create a label format. Data can be keyed in with a
simple text editor.
• For a better overview it is allowed to add spaces or tabs within a command line. Numeric
parameters accept additional zeroes.
• Separators for the parameters are either semicolons or commas.

Print Positions:
The Home position or "Zero point" of a label is shown on the picture below.The "Headline"appears
first, as it is usual on all laser printers etc. Most users prefer to get the printed label "foot first" out of
the printer. This can easily be done when the "O R" command is added to the shown examples.
We did not add this command in the samples to keep a better overview. You may add this whenever
it is required. "O R" rotates the orientation of the label by 180 degrees. So all shown examples which
do not contain the "O R" command have been rotated for a better view in this manual.
Initial Home position
Home position when the "O
R" command had been
used.
The Orientation is identical on all printers as it is shown on a Apollo-series printer as an example.

Example:
Overview
The programming language of the cab Printers is based almost completely on ASCII characters.
Together with the selectability of different codepages it is possible to connect to nearly each computer
system.
The printers accept additionally all types of line end identifiers (CR, LF, CR/LF), so that the
descriptions of labels can be created with the most simple text editors, such as "Notepad" or
"Wordpad" - saved as plain text files.
Instruction types
cab printers are using basically three types of instructions
• ESC instructions,
• Instructions with lowercase letters and
• Instructions with uppercase letters.
1. ESC instructions
are responsible for status queries, control functions, memory management etc. and are usually
executed immediately, i.e. even if a printing job runs. They are not absolutely required to print labels,
but they offer additional features and possibilities
ESC ? - Request for free memory.
ESC c - Cancel Job
ESC p0 - Ends printer pause state
ESC s - Printer status request
2. Immediate Commands
Instructions with lowercase letters are used for adjustments and settings which must not have
something to do with the actual printjob.
These are for example requests of fonts or graphics which have previously downloaded to the printer.
a- Activate the ASCII dump mode
c- Immediate cut
f- Formfeed
t- Performs a test print

PRODUCT MARKING AND BARCODE IDENTIFICATION
[TABLE OF CONTENTS][COMMAND LIST][INDEX][ESC][i][L][S]
3. Label Format Commands
Instructions with uppercase letters are used to describe the label itself.
This has a fix structure, beginning with the startcommand, the description of the labelsize and
description of each object in the label.
At the end of the label the printer expects the amount of labels.
J- Job start
S- Set label size
H- Heat, speed, and printing method
O- Set print options
T- Text field definition
B- Barcode field definition
G- Graphic field definition
I- Image field definition
A- Amount of labels
Additionally to that, special commands for text formatting, calculations, comparisons etc. can be
used.
Special Content Fields
are used within Label Format commands.
They consist of instructions in squared brackets, [ ], which offers various data insertion and data
manipulation functions.
[DATE] Print date
[/ :oper1,oper2]Divide
[>: oper1,oper2]Greater than
A huge amount of more complex and powerful commands are explained later in this manual in the
"Special Content fields" section.
On the next pages you will find a short training class which shall help you to become familiar with
the cab printer programming language "JSCRIPT". We recommend that you try this course first,
before you start with your own projects.

Programming cab printers - a simple lesson
Target:
Learn how easy it is to teach your printer to do what you want.
Understand the language structure of JScript by testing the following sample.
Get the feeling what might go wrong if the syntax is not correct.
Modify this sample with other items of this manual
Create your first label:
1. Connect your printer to the PC, select "Country United Kingdom" on the printer´s control panel.
The handling is explained in the operator´s manual (the language changes to "English" and the
measurements to "millimeters" - as the label is designed in millimeters)
2. Start your preferred plain texteditor ( we will use Notepad for this example)
3. Key in following data and don´t forget to ress the ENTER key on your keyboard after the "A 1" in
the last line is keyed in.

version)
6. At the command prompt key in: C:\> copy/b sample1.txt LPT1: ( LPT1: - if the printer is
connected with the parallel port of the PC.)
The result should be that the printer prints the label which is shown on the following side

... and if it did not work as expected ? - Following problems may occur:
1. The printer receives no data:
a: The wrong interface or wrong transmission speed is selected on your printer.
- Check the interface settings in the setup menu of the printer
b: Your interface is blocked by another application.
c: The cable might be defect- check the connecting cable
2. Printer receives data but shows "ribbon out"
a: No ribbon in the printer
b: Ribbon is not fixed on the ribbon unwinder
3. Printer receives data but shows "Protocol error" in its display
a: Transmitted data is wrong - this might be a missing comma or a accidentially set semicolon
instead of a comma or any other wrong data. Spaces after a command may cause a protocol
error too! Check your label data carefully.
