~AW9999 6X6,SNAP
This command specifies the width of the field. If this command is not present, the field
will be printed with the character proportions as defined in the font file. If this
command is present, the width of the characters may be modified according to the
method specified in the ~AQ command (below) to fit the text to the width specified
Some of the scaleable fonts are variable widths, which means that each batch can look
slightly different due to the text printed. This command gives the text a uniform width
requirement for the batches. This command is needed in order to justify the field using
the command AE when the font selected is scaleable. Also, this command is needed in
order to fit the text within the field using the command AQ when the font selected is
scaleable. The actual resolution or smallest increment is 1/dpi of the printer.
~AQ_ 6X6,SNAP
This command specifies how the characters printed are to be sized within the width
defined in the command AW. The underscore should be replaced by one of the
following.
0 - Squeeze to fit With this option, if the width of the characters in the text exceeds the
width defined in the command AW then the characters are squeezed (reduced in
width) into the width defined in the command AW. If the width of the characters in
the text does not exceed the width defined in the command AW then the characters
are mapped as is.
1 - Proportion to fit With this option, the widths of the characters in the text are
proportioned within the width defined in the command AW.
2 - Stretch to fit With this option, if the width of the characters in the text is less than
the width defined in the command AW then the characters are stretched into the
width defined in the command AW. If the width of the characters in the text
exceeds the width defined in the command AW then the characters are squeezed
into the field width defined in the command AW.
3 - Regular fit With this option, the characters are printed with the proportion defined
in the font file.
~AA_ Reserved for Future Use
Reserved for future printers.
CAUTION: Use of commands that modify the
appearance of the characters (such as the ~AW and ~AQ
commands) can result in labels that appear slightly
different when printed on different types of printers.
