cern advanced utilities and setups:
Chapter 1 Introduction to PRESCRIBE introduces some basic concepts of PRESCRIBE.
Chapter 2 Graphics Tutorial outlines the graphic handling features of PRESCRIBE.
Chapter 3 Macros introduces program macros, a concept that makes it easy to define
sequences of PRESCRIBE commands, then call them repeatedly whenever they are
needed.
Chapter 4 Fonts provides how to manage font selection and font samples.
Later, Chapter 5 Barcodes explains the barcode printing capabilities of the command
language.
Chapter 6 Permanent Parameters explains how to reprogram the printing system’s firm-
ware for customization.
Chapter 7 Emulation gives notes on the printing system’s various emulation modes.
An Index is also provided at the end of this manual.
Notice
Most PRESCRIBE commands operate in the same way on all of these models. However,
on particular models, some commands are irrelevant. Model-dependent differences are
noted at the pertinent locations in this manual.
