Deleting Fields

You can delete a field from a label format entirely. However, you cannot delete
the last field in a format.
For example, you cannot delete field 0 from a format that has no other fields.
When a format is created, human-readable field zero (H0) is automatically
created along with it. If you want to delete field 0 from a format, define field 1,
and then delete field 0.
The following command string can be used to delete field x from format y.
<STX><ESC>P;Fy;Dx;R<ETX>
Each command in this string is described below:

Scaling Fields

The size of a field is determined by the size of either the font or graphic you use
and the field magnification factors you apply. The human-readable and bar
code fonts have default sizes, and the user-defined character fields will print as
large as you design them, but by using magnification commands, you can scale
them to be up to 4 inches by 4 inches.

Magnifying Fonts and Character Fields

The internal fonts in the printer already have sizes associated with them. For
example, the letters in font c0 are 7 dots wide by 9 dots high, and there is a one-
dot gap between characters. If you design a field that will print 10 letters in font
c0, the field will be 79 dots wide by 9 dots high.
By applying magnification factors (h for height and w for width) you can
increase a field's height or width. If you increased the height to 2 (h2) for the
field described above, the field height would double, and the final field would
print 79 dots long by 18 dots high. If you changed the magnification to h3, the
field height would triple, and the field would print 79 dots by 27 dots.
Increasing the width of a text field to 2 would make each letter in the field
twice as wide. If this was done to the example above, with field height h2, the
final field would print 158 dots wide by 18 dots high.
