1. When entering values for RSS composite bar codes, you need to provide the value
for the linear and composite (2D) parts at the same time. Use the following syntax

7. The Status Monitor regularly checks the printer for current status information. When

the printer. If the Status Monitor is in use and you are experiencing a delay in
printing, try right clicking over the Status Monitor in the system tray (by the clock)
and closing the Status Monitor.
