1-4 NCL Programmer’s Manual
C o n v e n t i o n s
This manual uses the following conventions:
Lines of text that you enter are shown in bold with a different typeface.
For example:
SupplyType="Die Cut"
All text shown in square brackets ([]) are required Section names and
must be entered exactly as shown. For example:
[NCL_START]
When a list of mutually-exclusive options exist, they are separated by a
vertical bar (|). Select only ONE of the options. For example:
Aperture | Die Cut | Black Mark | Continuous
When an alphanumeric value is required you see an “n” for each
character; for example, nnnn means to enter four characters, such as
9855.
NIC is an abbreviation for Network Interface Card.

When creating NCL files:
♦ All lines are processed in the order received.
♦ Groups of like parameters are divided into Sections.
♦ Within each Section are multiple options, which are identified by a
Key-name (Keys) and set to some Value.
♦ Major Sections are identified by square brackets ([]).
♦ Commands and options are identified by Keys.
♦ The assigned Values are separated from the Keys by an
equal sign (=).
♦ If no Value is specified, use 1.
♦ White space (spaces, tabs, and blank lines), outside of quoted strings,
is ignored.
♦ Sections and Keys are not case-sensitive, except for [NCL_START].
♦ Values are case-sensitive.
