Markem-Imaje EtherNet communications

[Irajat49]

NOTE: This is for NextGen Markem printers only using NGPCL.

It's quite straightforward.
You send an ASCII string to the printer and you'll receive one back.
String looks something like:
STX|*command to printer*|*parameters for command*|ETX

Response looks something like:
STX|*reply*|*parameters (if possible)*|ETX

Note the usage of "|"

Example of string to select a job:

STX|~JS|*name of layout/job*|ETX

~JS is command for Job Select.

Example of job update:
(values update which it needs to print)

STX|~JU1|*Job name*|0|*parameter name*|*parameter value*|...|ETX

You can add several parameters as long as the packet does not exceed the transfer byte limit. Don't know the limit by heart though.

If you want, I can PM you the NGPCL user guide.
