Defining the BoundingBox Tag (Required for non-barcode fields)
The BoundingBox tag defines the area on the label where the field appears. Each non-
barcode field on a label must fit inside a bounding box. The bounding box is represented by
the dotted lines in the following graphic.
It contains the following attributes: units, x, y, height, and width.
Syntax
units Unit of measure. Options:
Inches Inches
MM Millimeters
Pi xels Pi xels (default)
x X-Coordinate of the Origi n corner of
the bounding bo x. Use a n integer or
float (in selected units) that is less
than the width.
y Y-Coordinate of the Origi n corner of
the bounding bo x. Use a n integer or
float (in selected units) that is less
than the height.
height The height (in selected u nits) of the
print area. Use an intege r or float
value that is less than the image
height. Use zero to let th e printer determine the height.
width The width (in selected units) of the print area. Use an integer or float value
that is less than the image width. Use zero to let t he printer determine the
width.
Example
Sets the coordinates for the text field’s bounding box and specifies the height as 0.20 inches
and the width as 0.80 inches.
Defining the Data Tag (Required)
The Data tag specifies how many characters are expected in the field. It also can contain any
fixed data you want to print in the text field.
Note: If this field is Volatile, min and max are required attributes.
We recommend setting the min and max attributes.
Valid values include: Any Unicode string less than 2K characters.
It contains the following attributes: min and max.
Syntax
value
min Minimum number of characters in the field.
max Ma ximum number of char acters in the field.
To print special characters the field, use the tilde with the decimal ASCII equivalent. For
example, to print the Euro (€) symbol, use ~219 (using Code Page 100). You must use a font
that supports the code page selected. Arial or a similar TrueType® font supports Code Page
100.
Example
Specifies the data length from 1 to 10 characters in the text field.
