~AR9 630,650,960,6X6,SNAP
This command specifies how the field will be drawn on the label. There are four
possible ways to place the field's image on the tag. The DIRECT option is the default
and will print the image directly, as it was created. However, when part of the image or
the entire image is coincident with any part of a previously printed image, the two field
images will be compared in those areas where they are coincident. Using the DIRECT
option can cause one field to clip an earlier field if they overlap.
The DIRECT option is specified by a 0 in the command. The dot will remain on only
when it is on in the last mapped image for that same dot position.
The AND option is specified by a 1 in the command. The dot will remain on only
when it is on in both images for that same dot position.
The OR option is specified by a 2 in the command. The dot will remain on if the dot is
on in either or both images for that same dot position.
The XOR option is specified by a 3 in the command. The dot will remain on only
when it is on in one of the images - but will not be on if it is on in both images for
that same dot position.
The INVERSE option is specified by a 3 in the command. The dot will remain on only
when it is off in the last mapped image for that same dot position.
Compatibility Note:
630, 960 These printers support DIRECT, AND, OR, and XOR.
650 The 650 only supports DIRECT, OR, and XOR.
6X6, SNAP These printers only supports DIRECT, OR, and INVERSE.
~AO99 6X6,SNAP
This command specifies the slant of the characters within the field. This command tells
the printer to print the field with the scaleable font selected by the command AL and
slant the characters giving the field an italic look. The range of the slant is -90 to 90.
~AT_ 6X6,SNAP
This command specifies the character orientation. With this command, the scaleable
font defined by the command AL is oriented as defined within the field. The option of
H for Horizontal text is the default selection. With this selection, the text is printed left
to right just as it always has been. The option of V allows the text to be printed with
each character rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise within the field. This gives the
appearance of each character following below the last character instead of beside it.
~AM_ 6X6,SNAP
This command causes internal data from the printer to be printed. Depending on the
selection, the information requested is obtained and printed on the tag in the field
defined. In the batch data, a ~D must be present as a place holder for this field, but any
data will be ignored. The underscore should be replaced by one of the following.
D - Specifies the date is to be printed on the tag (mm/dd/yy format). The date is
obtained internally from the printer and can not be edited.
E - Specifies the date is to be printed on the tag using the European style (dd/mm/yy
format). The date is obtained internally from the printer and can not be edited.
