Working With Fields

Now that you have learned about the different types of fields printable with the
4400 printer, you need to know how to arrange them to define or change the
format of a label. The following part of the chapter uses examples to describe
the commands that position, size, rotate, and edit label formats. A complete list
of all programming commands is given in Chapter 7.

Editing Fields

If you make a mistake in a label format, you may not have to redownload the
entire format (depending on the severity of the mistake). You can change a
specific field in a format by sending a command in Program mode.
The printer uses a field pointer to point to the field that is to be modified when
the printer is in Program mode. The pointer continues to point to the most
recently selected field until a different format or field is selected.
The following format is used as an example. Assume you want to change field
3 (which is defined by the third line from the bottom) from h1;w1; to h2;w2;:
<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>
Download the following command:
<STX><ESC>P;F3;H3;h2;w2;R<ETX>
Each command in this string is described below:
Command
<ESC>P
F3;
H3;
h2;
w2;
R
Note: The <STX> and <ETX> commands mark the beginning and end of a message.
The semicolon (;) is the command terminator. All commands in Program mode must
end with this terminator except the last command in a message.
