Label Fields; Bit Mapped Text And Barcode Fields - Microcom 465 Operator's Manual

LABEL FIELDS

A field is broken down into many different parameters. These parameters contain the
information necessary to position data (text, barcodes, graphics, etc.) on the label. It is not
necessary to enter values for all of the field parameters; the default values will be used if
left blank. The fields to be defaulted must be separated by commas. A carriage return must
follow each label field.

BIT MAPPED TEXT AND BARCODE FIELDS

The following is a list of bit mapped (ROM stored and SOFT) field element mnemonics and
their default values:
TSN, XB, YB, CC,TCI,CGN, FO, FJ, CMX,CMY, CS, TSP
1, 0,
* The default depends on the character generator (CGN) used.
** The default depends on the TCI used.
Note: All values must be positive integers.
TSN TEXT STRING NUMBER
Determines from which text string the field obtains the data. This allows for more than one
field to use the same text string. A TSN of 0 accesses the clock chip text string (see section
8.3). A TSN of 1 accesses the first line of data. A TSN of 2 accesses the second line of
data, and so forth. Data is the text that follows a ^D25 command in a label layout.
XB X BEGINNING COORDINATE
The X coordinate of the field is measured in dots. The far left edge of the label as viewed
from the front of the printer is X coordinate 1. There is no X coordinate 0. The X coordinate
increases in size from left to right (See Figure 7). An XB of 203 would place the text one
inch from the left side of the label.
YB Y BEGINNING COORDINATE
The Y coordinate of the field is measured in dots. A YB of 1 would be specified as the first
edge of the label coming out of the front of the printer during a label print. The Y coordinate
increases in size from the bottom to the top of the label (See Figure 7). A YB of 203 would
place text one inch from the bottom of the label.
