4.7 Line Draw
It is possible to design lines into a label utilizing some of the elements of label format fields.
Specifically, a TCI value of “6” enables the line draw function. XB and XY provide a starting
position for a line draw. CMX and CMY provide length and thickness to a line. Other
elements not necessary to draw a line such as CC, CGN, FO, FJ, CS, and AN are ignored
by simply adding delimiters (commas) without values.
An example of two lines drawn on a label is shown in Figure 4-5. This 3 x 3” label was
designed for a printer with a 300 DPI print head.
