HemaTrax Print Server versions 1.7 and 1.71 only – Print Unit ID Sets

1. In the Server machine where HemaTrax Print Server program is currently installed, locate the Digi-Trax Corporation sub-directory in the Program Files directory and double-click on it. 
2. If no other HemaTrax program is installed, only the HemaTrax Print Server program folder will be listed. Figure below shows multiple HemaTrax applications including the HemaTrax Print Server program.

3. Double-click on the HemaTrax Print Server folder. Figure below shows sub-folders and files associated with the HemaTrax Print Server program.

4. Locate the Format folder and double-click on it. If no replicant Unit ID Set format has been added previously, only one format will be available as shown below.

5. Now save the copy of the “FORMAT6M.FMT” into the
   C:\Program Files\Digi-Trax Corporation\HemaTrax Print Server\FORMAT folder.
6. Run and start the HemaTrax Print Server program if it has been closed.
7. From the already running HemaTrax Print Server program, click on the “Printer Settings” tab. If multiple serial ports are available from this Server machine then HemaTrax Print Server will display them in multiple columns as shown below.

1. If no serial port is already assigned from any of the “Printer Settings” columns to print Unit ID Sets labels then select one by clicking on any of the cells or rows in the just selected column and begin assigning all applicable serial port settings as well as label assignment and correct printer model to use to print Unit ID Sets labels. Skip this step otherwise.

Note:  The serial port selected for this particular label printing is displayed in the “Selected Comx Port” display panel.

2. If, however, there is already a serial assigned to print Unit ID Sets labels then select this column by clicking on any of its cells or rows and change the content of the “X-Offset” entry edit box to 3 if using the Sato CL-412 series printer. If, however, the target printer is the Zebra Z4M series printer then adjust the horizontal and vertical positions by changing the contents of the “X-Offset” and “Y-Offset” entry edit boxes to 1.5 and –1 respectively. Make sure all other entries specific to printing “Unit ID Sets” labels are properly set then click on the “Save” button to accept the change and minimize the HemaTrax Print Server window.
3. To test print using the included HemaTrax HTClient test program installed in the same Program Files directory as the HemaTrax Print Server, run this program by double-clicking its program icon. From the currently displayed HTClient test program window, click on the “Select” menu then select and click on the “Data Access Suite” item from the pull-down selections. Establish the client-to-server connection with the HemaTrax Print Server program by specifying the proper server machine’s IP address and listening port number in the “Data Access Suite” window and click on the “Open” button located below the “Server Connection Information” panel. Close this currently opened window by clicking on the window close button x.

Note: Do not click on the “Close” button in the “Data Access Suite” window after the client-to-server connection is established. This will disconnect the client-to-server connection.

4. Click on the “Select” menu then select and click on the “Label Printing Suite” item from the pull-down selection. In the now opened “Label Printing Suite” window, select the “Unit Id / Facility” tab page. In the “Unit ID Format” entry edit box, change its current content to FORMAT6M or enter this text if the “Unit ID Format” entry edit box is currently empty.
5. In the “Unit Number” entry edit box, enter an ISBT-128 unit number.
6. From the “COM Port” combo box pull-down selections, select the assigned serial port previously set in the HemaTrax Print Server program to print Unit ID Sets labels.
7. Now select the “Unit ID Set” button from the group of “Print Label” buttons and click on it to begin printing Unit ID Sets label.
8. Verify barcode and text positions in the labels -- adjust X-Offset or Y-Offset value if necessary from the HemaTrax Print Server program.
9. Test printing of Unit ID Sets labels using actual client program other than HTClient test program is beyond the scope of this procedure. Make sure the “Print Unit ID Set”  message being sent to the server from your client program contains the new label format file name parameter. The Unit ID Sets print label message should appear as follows:

PUN,”<Port Number>”, “FORMAT6M”,”<Facility Code>”, “<Collection Year>”,
”<Sequence Number>”,”<ISO Check Character>”<cr>

10. END OF PROCEDURE.
