~XG_
PcMate Plus Display
This command assists PCMate Plus in distinguishing whether a graphic field is
alphanumeric or logo during import. The printers ignore the command. The
underscore should be replaced by one of the following:
A - Specifies that the graphic field is an alphanumeric field.
L - Specifies that the graphic field is a logo field.
P - Specifies the point size of a graphic alphanumeric field. Not required for graphic
logo fields.
Compatibility Notes:
Only formats exported using PCMate Plus version 3.02 alpha or later will contain this
command in the PCL stream. Earlier versions of PCMate Plus will not export this
command.
Restrictions:
If manually editing the PCL stream to add this command, the command MUST
immediately precede the ~FM command which defines the graphic field. Otherwise,
the field will not import properly.

630, 650, 960, 636, 656, 676, 686
This command specifies how many tags to print across the web. This is often referred to
as “X-up”, e.g. “2-up” or “3-up”. When this command is used the printer accepts
information for the layout of a tag as if the printer was printing only one tag across the
web of the stock. The printer then duplicates this one tag multiple times across the
web. Extreme care should be taken when specifying the tag web size for this type of
format. Also it should be determined that the total width of the number of tags across
the web is less than or equal to the capabilities of the printer.
Note: The use of this command requires special stock. If multiple up formats are
desired, your AVERY DENNISON representative should be contacted to help
you with this type of layout.
Compatibility Note:
630, 636, 656, 676, 686, SNAP 700 These printers are capable of producing up to 4
tags across the web as long as the width of all four tags combined is less than 4.8”
(121.9mm).
SNAP 500, SNAP600 Because of the narrow web capabilities of these printers, X-up
printing is impractical. However, these printers do support this command.
650, 960 The 650 and 960 printers are only capable of producing 2 tags across the web.
