Rotating Fields

16
For example, to position a field to print approximately 0.25 inch from the
left side and 0.5 inch from the top of your label, the "Field Origin, Define"
command value is o51,102.

*Bar code interpretive field*

A = o51, 102
B = o51, 203
Field Positioning: This illustration shows the relative positions of four fields with
different origin points.
Note: If you are operating your printer in Emulation mode, the dot sizes
are doubled (101 dots per inch or 4 dots per mm), so the origin for 1 inch
from the top of the label and 0.5 inch from the left side is o25,51.
You can rotate any type of printable field in increments of 90 degrees
counterclockwise around the field origin. To position a rotated field,
remember that the field origin remains on the corner where it was before
you rotated the field. If you rotate a field 90 degrees counterclockwise, the
origin that was at the upper left corner is now at the lower left corner. Use
the "Field Direction" command (syntax fn) to define the field rotation. See
the IPL Command Reference Manual for more information.
• To rotate a field 90 degrees, you must position the lower left corner of
the rotated field.
• To rotate a field 180 degrees, you must position the lower right corner
of the rotated field.
• To rotate a field 270 degrees, you must position the upper right corner
of the rotated field.
