Creating Duplicate Fields - Paxar TC6037PR Reference Manual

C r e a t i n g D u p l i c a t e F i e l d s
If a line of data is identical to a previous bitmap or next-bitmap field, the
duplicate field allows you to repeat the dot sequence without retyping the
data. A duplicate field represents one row of dots on the image.
Note: Duplicate fields are useful when you have a graphic with a lot of
repetition.
Syntax
D1. D Duplicate Field.
D2. adjdir Increments or decrements the row count. Inserts the duplicate line after or
before the current row.
0
1
D3. adjamt Amount of row adjustment in dot rows. Range: 0 - 999. The above
example adjusts the duplicate field to image on row 70 and 90 (adding 20
to the current row count).
D4. count Number of times to duplicate the line. Range: 0 - 999.
Example
Defines a duplicate field that is imaged after the bitmap line. This field
duplicates the preceding bitmap line twice (at row 118 and 119).
You can use constant text, line, or box fields in a graphic packet to create a
compliance label overlay. See Chapter 2, "Defining Fields," for more
information about these fields.
