Editing Labels and Working With Fields

The next few sections explain the commands you use to position, size, rotate,
and edit label formats. Chapter 7 lists all programming commands.

Editing Labels

If you make a mistake in a label format, depending on the severity of the
mistake, you do not have to redownload the entire format. You can change a
specific field in a format by sending a command in Program mode. This is true
if you want to fine tune your format or change the entire look of your label.
For example, if you want to change field 3 (defined by the third line from the
bottom) in the following format:
<STX><ESC>c<ETX>
<STX><ESC>P;<ETX>
<STX>E3;F3;<ETX>
<STX>H0;o81,100;f0;c0;d0,16;h1;w1;<ETX>
<STX>H1;o81,120;f0;c0;d0,16;h1;w1;<ETX>
<STX>H2;o81,150;f0;c2;d0,14;h1;w1;<ETX>
<STX>H3;o81,190;f0;c2;d0,16;h1;w1;<ETX>
<STX>B4;o81,0;f0;c0,1;h50;w1;d0,11;i0;p@;<ETX>
<STX>R<ETX>
from h1;w1; to h2;w2;, you can use the following command:
<STX><ESC>P;F3;H3;h2;w2;R<ETX>
This command string tells the printer to:
<ESC>P;
F3;
H3;
h2;
w2;
R
Note: The <STX> and <ETX> characters simply mark the beginning and end of a
message.
