~FP99999 630,650,960,6X6,SNAP
This command specifies the field origin for the pull position in thousandths of an inch.
This distance is measured from the trailing or left hand edge of the tag as the stock runs
through the machine. The field origin is the top left-hand corner of a field. This corner
is also the reference point for field rotation. For example: If a field is to be placed two
inches from the edge of a tag in the pull direction the command would be ~FP2000.
Compatibility Notes:
630, 650 For the 630 and 650 printers the resolution or smallest increment is 0.0042”
(0.11mm).
960 The 960 resolution is 0.014” (0.36mm) in the pull direction.
636, 656, 676, 686, 545, SNAP The actual resolution or smallest increment is 1/dpi of
the printer.
- 240 DPI = 0.0042 “ (0.11mm)
- 300 DPI = 0.0033” (0.084mm)
- 545 = 0.005” (0.13mm)
NOTE: For an RFID field, this value specifies the distance from the leading edge of the
label to the leading edge of the transponder.
~FR9 630,650,960,6X6,SNAP
This command specifies the rotation of a field. The rotations can be performed in
increments of 90 degrees. The increments are 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 270
degrees. These rotations are represented in the command by 0, 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
A field is rotated about its top left corner. The direction of rotation is clockwise.
Compatibility Note:
960 The 960 will accept 0,1,2,and 3 for rotations and will also accept 0, 90, 180, 270 as
values for the rotation.
~FD_ 960,6X6,SNAP
This command specifies which side of the tag that the field is printed on. Replace the _
with the appropriate letter.
Compatibility Note:
960 Use F for front, B for back and A for flag.
676, 545, SNAP Use 1 to print field using head 1
676, 545 , SNAP Use 2 to print field using head 2
676 Use 3 to print field using head 3.
636, 656, 686 All have just one printhead – therefore all field commands
will print on the same printhead. The correct default
command is 2.
676, 545, SNAP Use A1 to print on flag using head 1
676, 545 , SNAP Use A2 or A - (default) to print on flag using head 2
676 Use A3 to print on flag using head 3.
636, 656, 686 All have just one printhead – therefore all flag commands
will print on the same printhead. The correct default
command is A.
