Barcode Field Definition
The definition of a barcode field with a length of twelve would start with an ~FB12.
The field is to be placed at a position that is 1" from the inside edge in the web direction
and 1/2" in from the trailing edge in the pull direction. The commands for these
positions would be ~FW1000 and ~FP0500. The top left corner of a barcode includes
the quiet zone area of the barcode. The rotation for this field is zero degrees so the
command would be ~FR0. This barcode is to be a UPCA Barcode so the command
~BF01 is to be used with the barcode type 01. The barcode is to have Human Readable
Information underneath it, so the command ~BA08, is used to specify an HRI using a
10 point font for the numbers. Also the barcode is to be 1/2" tall so the command
~BH0500 is used to specify a bar height of 1/2".
This barcode field definition will look like:
~FB12~FW1000~FP0500~FR0~BF01~BA08 ~BH0500
There are more features which can be implemented for barcode fields described in the
Reference manual under the ~B commands.
Box / Underline Field Definition
The definition of a box / underline field starts with an ~FL. There is not a field length
associated with a box / underline field. Starting point for a box / underline field is the
initial web and pull position. This position is presented with the ~FW command and
the ~FP command. The web position for the end web coordinate is specified with the
~LW command. The pull position for the end pull coordinate is specified with the ~LP
command. The LW command and LP command should always contain values greater
than the FW and FP commands. The width in dots of the lines used to make the box /
underline field is specified using the ~LV for the lines in the web direction and the ~LH
command for the width of the lines in the pull direction.
A box that started at web position 1/2" and pull position 1/2" and had a web size of 1"
and pull size of 1" and line widths of 2 dots would have the command string of:
~FL~FW0500~FP0500~LW1500~LP1500~LV02~LH02
Logo Field Definition
The definition of a logo field with one logo would have a starting command of ~FG01.
The logo is to be placed at web position 1" and pull position 1-1/2". The position
commands would be ~FW1000 and ~FP1500.
The logo type would be in the command ~GT. The logo type is determined by the logo
size class which the logo is in. The logo's must reside on the printer and the logo type
information must be presented with the logo files (650 type) or IC card (630 type) when
they are received. In this case the logo type will be one.
The logo command string would be:
~FG01~FW1000~FP1500~GT01
