2. Figure below shows sub-folders and files associated with 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\HemaTrax Print Server\FORMAT folder.
6. Start the HemaTrax Print Server service if it has been stopped.

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 “TCP/IP Host Connection” tab to display its page. 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 inside the “Server Settings” panel and click on the “CONNECT” located next to the right of the “Listening Port:” entry edit  box and make sure this button is now labeled “DISCONNECT”.

7. Click on the u button until the “Unit ID/Collection + Processing Labels Info.”  tab is displayed then click on it. With the “Unit ID/Collection + Processing Labels Info.”  page now displayed, change the current content of  “Unit Set Format File” entry edit box to FORMAT6M or enter this text if the “Unit Set Format File” entry edit box is currently empty.
8. Supply all additional ISBT-128 Unit ID Sets label information in the “Facility Code”, “Collections Year”, “Sequence Unit ID Number”, “Flag Digits” entry edit boxes respectively if none has already been supplied yet.
9. Verify label print port settings from the “Printer Port Definitions” page and make sure a label print port has already been assigned to printing Unit ID Sets labels. If no Unit ID Sets label print port is assigned then select an available port number from the “Printer Port Selection” combo box drop-down selections and set the correct “Printer Address”, “Printer Model”, “Baud Rate and CRC” – serial connection only, and “Label Form Loaded” respectively. Also make sure the current entered value in the “Horizontal Offset in mm” entry edit box is 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 “Horizontal Offset in mm” and “Vertical Offset in mm” entry edit boxes to 1.5 and –1 respectively. Click on the “Set” button to save or accept any change in the settings.
10. Click on the u button until the “Print Labels” tab is displayed then click on it. With the “Print Label” page now displayed, select the printer port number from the “Printer Port Selection” combo box selections defined previously on step 9. Now click on the “Unit ID Set ISBT” button to begin printing Unit ID Sets label.
11. Verify barcode and text positions in the labels -- adjust X-Offset or Y-Offset value if necessary from the “Printer Port Definitions” page.
12. 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>
