Editing Label Formats And Working With Fields - Intermec 4630 User Manual

Editing Label Formats and Working With Fields

In addition to understanding the different types of printable fields on the
printer, you need to know how to arrange them to define or change the format
of a label. The following sections use examples to describe the commands that
position, size, rotate, and edit label fields. For a complete list of all
programming commands, see Chapter 6, "Intermec Printer Language
Commands."
Whenever you create a format, the printer automatically creates a human-
readable field zero (H0) along with it. The printer creates the H0 field with all
field parameters set to the default setting. You can only delete field zero after
you create one or more other fields. You cannot delete the last field in a format.
The defaults for the H0 field are:
Command
o0,0;
f0;
h2;
w2;
c2;
b0;
r0;
d0,30;
When creating a new format field, it is not possible to specify field zero as
anything other than human-readable field zero (H0) without creating another
field first. For example, you cannot make field zero a bar code field by doing
the following:
<STX><ESC>P;E1;F1;B0;<ETX>
To make field zero a bar code field, you have to delete human-readable
field 0 and then define bar code field 0. To do this, you must create a temporary
field (L1) before you delete human-readable field zero (H0):
<STX><ESC>P;E1;F1;L1;D0;B0;D1;<ETX>
