Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0130581A1] A printer programming tool (40) that is configured for use by a programmer to generate a program which a printer (20) can use such that the printer can print labels, tags or the like using a data stream (84) which would otherwise be incompatible with the printer. The printer programming tool is configured to provide a visual display of at least a portion (108), of a data stream, and allows a user to specify delimiters which the user identifies in the data stream and/or automatically identifies the delimiters in the data stream. The printer programming tool generates a program (140) based on the delimiters which have been identified, where the program is configured to be used by a printer. Preferably, the printer programming tool provides a visual comparison of at least a portion of the data stream and at least a portion of a label, tag or the like (110) containing variables. Preferably, the printer programming tool displays a data correlator (112) which lists the variables of the label, tag or the like and provides fields in which identified delimiters are displayed. A method for programming an interpreter in a printer is also provided.
