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.
