What is a Format?
A format is a set of dimensions, parameters, and instructions
defining where to place information on labels or tags. Labels
and tags are also called
supplies.
The goal in designing a format is to map your label or tag.
Later, you will insert actual information, like a bar code, price, or
serial number. The format defines where to put this
information, and how to print it.
Each "slot" that will contain an item of information (bar code,
price, etc.) is called a
field.
The actual information that fills this framework is called batch
data.
