Syntax

In the command syntax, there are a few conventions for substituting data
or indicating how data can be used:
•
p1 – pn
Indicates parameters listed separately below the command syntax.
•
[ ..... ]
Square brackets indicate optional parameters or data.
•
|
A straight vertical lines indicates alternatives.
•
"Name"
Enter the name of the form or graphic within double quotation marks
(ASCII 34 dec.), for example "Intermec".
•
"DATA"
The data could be from another source such as a .PCX file, a database,
or entered by the operator. "Data" designates the place in the com-
mand sequence to input the data.
Because the firmware uses " " (ASCII 34 dec.), you need a special
designator if you need to print text or bar codes which include these
quotation marks
that purpose:
To print: "
To print: "ABC"
To print:
To print: \code\
/. If a 7 bit character set is selected, this syntax will not be supported.
