Objects

Objects are the basic units that the LabelWriter prints. An object
can be either a line of text characters, a bar code, a landscape
graphic, a landscape line, or an EL dot line. Each of these objects
has different rules relating to them, as discussed below.
Objects can also be either active or completed. An active object is
one that is still receiving the data that composes it. A completed
object is one that has been terminated. A line of text that has not
yet received a line feed or carriage return is a good example of an
active object. Until a terminator character, like a line feed, is sent,
more text characters can be added to the text object. Bar code
and graphic objects do not require special terminator characters
(such as line feeds). Instead they are considered complete as soon
as they receive the correct amount of data.

Print Modes

Before we move on to discuss the specific objects that the
LabelWriter supports, it is important to cover the different print
modes in which the LabelWriter may print the objects.
The LabelWriter possesses three modes of printing: EL (bitmap
graphics) mode, portrait printing mode, and landscape printing
mode. Each mode operates under very different rules. These rules
are detailed below.
