Creating Next-Bitmap Fields; Creating Duplicate Fields - Avery Dennison ADTP1 Reference Manual

C r e a t i n g N e x t - B i t m a p F i e l d s
This field uses the previous field's row and column locations. Use the bitmap or duplicate field
data without having to recalculate row and column locations. This field represents one row of
dots on the image.
Syntax

N1. N
N2. adjdir
N3. adjamt
N4. algorithm
N5. "data"
Example B,39,56,H,"3FFFFFF0" |
N,0,1,H,"000000E00000" |
Defines a next-bitmap graphic field beginning on row 40. The row count increments by 1. Hex
representation is used.

If a line of data is identical to a previous bitmap or next-bitmap field, the duplicate field allows
repeating the dot sequence without retyping the data. A duplicate field represents one row of dots
on the image.
Note: Duplicate fields are useful when a graphic has a lot of repetition.

Next-Bitmap Field.
Increments or decrements the row count. Inserts the duplicate
line after or before the current row. 0 is the default.
0 Increments (inserts duplicate line after)
1 Decrements (inserts duplicate line before) For example:
B,50,35,R,"GsSsG" |
N,0,1,R,"DpZoD" |
prints a next-bitmap field on row 51 at column 35.
Row adjustment in dot rows. Using 0 overwrites the same line.
Range: 0 to 999.
Coding method for bitmap data:
H Hex Representation
R Run Length Encoding
Character string made up of hex or run length encoding. Do not
put spaces or any other character between the hex numbers or
run length code letters. Range: 0 to 2710. 2710 is the default.
Duplicate Field.
Increments or decrements the row count. Inserts the duplicate
line after or before the current row.
0 Increments (inserts after)
1 Decrements (inserts before)
For example:
B,50,35,R,"GsSsG" |
D,0,20,2 |
inserts row 50 again at row 70 and row 90. Rows 70 and 90 do
not have to be defined later.
Amount of row adjustment in dot rows. Range: 0 to 999. 1 is the
default. The above example adjusts the duplicate field to image
on row 70 and 90 (adding 20 to the current row count).
Number of times to duplicate the line. Range: 0 to 999.
