Introduction

The LabelWriter SE450 printer is a compact, thermal-transfer label printer. Featuring both

RS-232 serial and USB connections and including both an ASCII command set as well as

raster printing modes, this printer can fit a wide variety of uses.

The LabelWriter SE450 printer can be readily connected to most common computer systems

using the included Windows, Mac or Linux drivers. Or, for driver-less applications, the

printer can be connected and driven entirely by ASCII Escape commands. This makes the

LabelWriter SE450 an ideal printer to use in embedded applications, including medical

devices, paint matching systems, and so on.

The LabelWriter SE450 printer can accept label material up to 62 mm (2.44") wide, and has

a 57 mm (2.24") wide, 203 dot-per-inch (dpi) print head.

This Technical Reference provides all the information you need to be able to print labels

with the LabelWriter SE450 printer.

In addition, Windows and Mac sample code is available on the CD that came with the

LabelWriter SE450 printer.

In this Technical Reference, you will find:

nInformation about how to configure the host computer to communicate with the

LabelWriter SE450 over an RS-232 serial interface.

nInformation about programming the LabelWriter SE450 printer

nA list of commands by function

nA complete alphabetical command reference

nA complete list of the standard and extended ASCIIcharacter codes supported by the

printer

nInstructions for configuring the printer

nPrinter specifications

Configuring the Host

Computer for RS-232

Serial Interface

This chapter describes how to configure the host computer to communicate with the

LabelWriter SE450 printer over an RS-232 serial interface.

nRS-232 Settings

nRS-232 Cabling

nRS-232 Signal Levels

For information about communicating with the host computer using the USB port, see the

sample code located on the LabelWriter SE450 CD that came with the printer.

RS-232 Settings

In order for the host computer to communicate with the LabelWriter SE450 printer, the

communication parameters must be set as follows:

Baud Rate 9600

Data Bits 8

Stop Bits 1

Parity None

These settings can often be set using a BIOS setup program or an Operating System Control

Panel application. For embedded applications, you may need to build these settings into the

embedded system's initialization code.

Most languages provide a command or function to initialize a serial port.

If programming under Windows using Microsoft C/C++, use the function:

bios_serialcom()

Other C compilers offer a similar function. Consult your compiler user guide for the

appropriate function to use to configure a serial port.

If you are using the Unix OS, you’ll need to configure the RS-232 port as a dumb printer

port, with no special handling, control characters or form feeds. The LabelWriter printer will

handle these functions internally.

RS-232 Cabling

RS-232 cable pinouts are shown in the table below. For details on RS-232 signal names,

consult the RS-232 Standard documentation.
