- LabelMe!™ 1.0d1

- (ADSP & Newton portion by Ken Hornak)
-
- LabelMe is a Macintosh application that drives a Costar
- LabelWriter XL Plus label printer. LabelMe is controlled
- via AppleEvents.
-
- It can also be controlled by ADSP (Newtons, etc), but
- the protocol won't be documented until we work a few things
- out.
-
- THIS APPLICATION IS COMPLETELY UNSUPPORTED AND MAY CRASH
- YOUR SYSTEM. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
-
- Requirements:
- System 7 or later
- Any color-capable Macintosh
-
- Instructions:
- • Use ResEdit on the "LabelMe Extension" to change the
- return address.
- • Run the "LabelMe(TM)" application
- -- it has no user interface, but must be running
- • Copy an address to the clipboard
- • Press CMD-1 (that's Command-one)
-
- Limitations:
- • This is a *very* early version of this software.
- • Modem port only for now
- • Supports *my* LabelWriter XL Plus, but may not work on similar
- printers. We don't do auto baud rate detection or anything yet.
- • Works only with 3" shipping labels.
- • Drops into the debugger (with an error message) if errors occur.
- • Very slow
- • Doesn't downsize the text if it doesn't fit
- • You may have to switch out of the current application for the
- clipboard changes to "catch".
-
- AppleEvent:
- (This hasn't been registered yet, so it may change)
- Event Class: 'LbMe'
- Event ID: 'PRNT'
- The "from" address is a text descriptor (keyword 'RETN').
- The "to" address is a text descriptor (keyword 'MAIN'). Required.
-
- Notes:
- • Quit the program by bringing it to the front and typing "Q".
- -- it has no windows or user interface
-
- Distribution:
- You may not redistribute this software for money or other
- considerations without express written permission from Rock Ridge
