COMMENT
Function
This command is used for documenting label
formats. Comment lines do not affect label printing.
Explicit Form
COMMENT
characters
Implicit Form
C characters
Parameters
characters
The non-printing comment. The
printer ignores all characters
following the COMMENT command, up
to the end of the line as indicated by
the presence of a line feed character
(ASCII character 10).
Comments
This command is primarily for internal
documentation of label formats, but you can also
use it to temporarily disable commands within the
label format. Placing a C or the word COMMENT
before the command will disable it.
This command is valid only within the label format;
it cannot be used to remove an entire format or to
add comments above the format. Placing a C or the
word COMMENT before the ! or after END will result in
an invalid command.
Example
In the label format below, the presence of the C
character at the beginning of the third line and the
word COMMENT in the fourth line tells the printer to
ignore everything that follows up to the next line
feed.
! 0 100 190 1
STRING 8X8 115 5 THIS COMMENT WILL PRINT
C STRING 8X8 115 15 THIS COMMENT WON'T PRINT
COMMENT this is a comment. It won't print
either.
