Editing Label Formats and Working With Fields

In addition to understanding the different types of printable fields on the
3440 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, "IPL Commands."
Whenever you create a format, the printer automatically creates a human-
readable field zero (H0) along with it. The 3440 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;
h1;
w1;
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>
