Introducing XML

What is XML ?

eXtensible Mark-up Language.Text-based markup language, fast becoming the standard for data interchange on the Web

Why XML ? Easily processed. Regular and consistent notation makes it easy to interpret XML.

Data Identification. XML documents indicate exactly what kind of data you have. Data is identified using tags. The tags identify the data, rather merely specifying how to display it.

Plain Text. Since XML is not binary format, an XML file can be easily created using a standard text editor.

Traditional Data Processing. XML is increasingly becoming the data representation of choice for the Web. It is easier to transmit XML-encoded data back and forth between the client and server in any client/server application such as between the host and printer in a network environment.

Data Interchange. In the future, XML will potentially be the answer for data interchange in all types of transactions.

Data Interoperability. An XML file can be easily generated by a different enterprise application.

SATO XML-enabled printers have been tested in-house at the Oracle labs confirming that they can directly print from ORALCE® WMS/MSCA without any additional middleware or server hardware.

SATO XML-enabled printers are also integration with SAP® Auto-ID Infrastructure 2.1 via the SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure-Device Controller Interface (AII-DC-RFID) 1.0 integration scenario.

XML-enabled printer understands XML data stream and interprets it into SBPL format

ORACLE® WMS/MSCA or SAP® AG’s Auto-ID infrastructure (via the SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure-Device Controller Interface (AII-DC-RFID) 1.0 integration scenario) sends XML print jobs to printer

Printer processes XML output and prints directly from a ORACLE WMS/MSCA or SAP® AG’s Auto-ID infrastructure 2.1 via the SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure-Device Controller Interface (AII-DC-RFID) 1.0 integration scenario

XML parsing function embedded into printer makes it possible to print without resorting to any middleware

Function : SATO XML-Enabled Barcode Printer

1. Host downloads XML-enabled LABEL FORMAT . LABEL FORMAT is allocated to the printer’s memory using SATO LABEL GALLERY™ SOFTWARE

Direct Printing SolutionHOW DOES IT WORK?

2. The host sends a print job in XML DATA FORMAT to the printer over a network via an interface such as TCP/IP or some other means of connection

3. The XML print job data is parsed for label format number, variable name and field variable.

4. The printer will search for the label format number from its memory. The variable data field name is then inserted accordingly. The format is recalled and the print job begins (Merging the Format and XML variable data)

SATO Middleware Solution

You can perform customisations using Visual Basic script programming in LABEL GALLERY WATCH to meet your customers’ needs.

GALLERY WATCH is part of the SATO Label Gallery™TruePro software package, which will allow the user to manipulate the label at the appearance of trigger file / receipt of an e-mail from the ERP system. This activity generates a trigger event for GALLERY WATCH to start the execution of the intended action.

Customised programming requests can be done by all SATO GMCs.
