4.4.1 A SAMPLE SESSION (HEADER)
This is the label header from the sample label in section 4.3.
5,812,1218,,20,355 5
5 - 5 fields following the header
812 - Label width (LSX) of 812 (812/203 = 4 inches).
1218 - Label length (LSY) of 406 (1218/203 = 6 inches).
- The WEB parameter can be defaulted.
20 - A GAP between labels of 20 (20/203 = 0.10 inch).
35 - Label print speed (DPS) of 35 = 4.5 inches per second (from
Table 3)
- No entry for the LCB parameter defaults to 0, normal stock
on backing paper.
- AGD is defaulted.
- SPG is defaulted (the label is larger than 305 dots).
5 5 - A carriage return must follow the label header. There were
some parameters left that were not entered into the header -
LCB, AGD,SPG, OFX, OFY, and FMT. Because they were not
entered, the printer assumes the default values.
Note: Defaulted fields must be separated by commas and ending commas may be
omitted.
4.5 LABEL FIELDS
A field is broken down into many different parameters. These parameters contain the
information necessary to position data (text, bar codes, graphics, etc.) on the label. It is
not necessary to enter values for all of the field parameters; the default values will be
used if left blank. The fields to be defaulted must be separated by commas. A carriage
return must follow each label field.
4.5.1 BIT MAPPED TEXT, BAR CODE, AND DOWNLOADED FONT/GRAPHIC FIELDS
The following is a list of bit mapped (ROM stored and Downloaded) field element
mnemonics and their default values:
TSN,XB,YB,CC,TCI,CGN,FO,FJ,CMX,CMY,CS,TSP,,,,,AN
1, 0, 0, *, 1, **, 0, 0, 1, 1, *, 1,,,,, 0
* The default depends on the character generator (CGN) used.
** The default depends on the TCI used.
Note: All values must be positive integers.
TSN TEXT STRING NUMBER
Determines from which text string the field obtains the data. This allows for more than
one field to use the same text string. A TSN of 0 accesses the clock chip text string (see
section 5.3.4). A TSN of 1 accesses the first line of data. A TSN of 2 accesses the
second line of data, and so forth. Data is the text that follows a ^D25 command in a label
layout. A graphic image field must point to a valid text string that contains at least 1
character. Maximum value is 65536.
