Defining The Boundingbox Tag (Required For Non-Barcode Fields); Defining The Data Tag (Required) - Avery Dennison Pathfinder6057 Programmer's Manual

Defining the BoundingBox Tag (Required for non-barcode fields)

The BoundingBox tag defines the area on the label where the field appears. Each non-
barcode field on a label must fit inside a bounding box. The bounding box is represented by
the dotted lines in the following graphic.
It contains the following attributes: units, x, y, height, and width.
Syntax
<BoundingBox units="value" x="value" y="value" height="value"
width="value" />
units
x
y
height
width
Example <BoundingBox units="Inches" x="0.70" y="0.30" height="0.20"
width="0.80" />
Sets the coordinates for the text field's bounding box and specifies the height as 0.20 inches
and the width as 0.80 inches.

Defining the Data Tag (Required)

The Data tag specifies how many characters are expected in the field. It also can contain any
fixed data you want to print in the text field.
Note: If this field is Volatile, min and max are required attributes.
We recommend setting the min and max attributes.
Valid values include: Any Unicode string less than 2K characters.
It contains the following attributes: min and max.
Syntax
<Data min="value" max="value">value</Data>
min
max
To print special characters the field, use the tilde with the decimal ASCII equivalent. For
example, to print the Euro (€) symbol, use ~219 (using Code Page 100). You must use a font
that supports the code page selected. Arial or a similar TrueType® font supports Code Page
100.
Example <Data min="1" max="10" />
Specifies the data length from 1 to 10 characters in the text field.

Unit of measure. Options:
Inches Inches
MM Millimeters
Pixels Pixels (default)
X-Coordinate of the Origin corner of
the bounding box. Use an integer or
float (in selected units) that is less
than the width.
Y-Coordinate of the Origin corner of
the bounding box. Use an integer or
float (in selected units) that is less
than the height.
The height (in selected units) of the
print area. Use an integer or float
value that is less than the image height. Use zero to let the printer determine
the height.
The width (in selected units) of the print area. Use an integer or float value
that is less than the image width. Use zero to let the printer determine the
width.
Minimum number of characters in the field.
Maximum number of characters in the field.
