FO
FIELD ORIENTATION
This parameter defines the rotation of each field on the label. The point of rotation is
determined from the field justification.
0
0 degrees (normal rotation).
1
180 degrees (upside-down rotation).
2
270 degrees (right rotation).
3
90 degrees (left rotation).
FJ
FIELD JUSTIFICATION
This parameter defines the justification of each field on the label. See Table 6.
0
Left justified above base-line.
1
Right justified above base-line.
2
Left justified below base-line.
3
Right justified below base-line.
4
Centered above base-line.
5
Centered below base-line.
CMX
CHARACTER MULTIPLIER X DIRECTION
This parameter multiplies each character in the X direction. The valid range is 1 to 8.
(Values above 8 are possible but produce poor quality and are slower to process.)
CMY
CHARACTER MULTIPLIER Y DIRECTION
This parameter multiplies each character in the Y direction. The valid range is 1 to
65536. (Values above 8 produce poor print quality and are not recommended.
CS
CHARACTER SPACING
This parameter adjusts the spacing between each character. If this parameter is not
used, then the default for the selected character generator (CGN) is used. Multiplying a
text string will not multiply the spacing between characters. This element should be
used to properly space the characters.
TSP
TEXT STARTING POSITION
This parameter marks the starting position of the character in the text string to be used
as data. This is useful for allowing several fields to use sections of the same text string,
minimizing the amount of data transmitted. For example, for the text string
0123456789, A TSP of 5 and a CC (character count) of 2 would print 45. See section
5.3.4 for use of this parameter with clock fields.
CONSTANT FIELD
This field is always defaulted.
CONSTANT FIELD
