Example of Changing Data

Intermec Printer Language (IPL) Developer's Guide
This example defines a simple bar code label format that prints a part
number in a bar code field with an interpretive field. The data (part
number) remains constant for all labels printed using this format.
This label format looks like this:
PART NUMBER FORMAT
*999-999-999*
Constant Data Example
The next example shows how to define a simple bar code label format that
prints a part number in a bar code field and an incremented order number
in a human-readable field. The order number changes for every label
printed in this format. You use the "Numeric Field Separator" command
(syntax <FS>) to specify the numeric data to be incremented, and the "Field
Increment, Set" command (syntax <ESC>I) to specify the increment value.

Definition
Places the printer in Program mode.
Erases current format 2 and creates new format 2.
Changes the default settings for field 0: places the origin at
200,50, and specifies the text "PART NUMBER
FORMAT" for the field data.
Defines a new bar code field at origin 200,200, enables an
interpretive field, specifies that data for this field will be
transmitted when the printer is in Print mode, and sets a
data length of 13 characters. All other field settings are
default values.
Places the printer in Print mode.
Selects format 2 and clears all previous data.
Selects field 1 (the new bar code field) and specifies the data
to be printed in that field (*999-999-999*).
Prints the bar code label.
