4.4 LABEL FIELDS
A field is broken down into fourteen different parameters. These parameters contain the
information necessary to position data (text, bar codes, 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. A carriage return must follow each label field. The following is a list of the field
element mnemonics and their default values:
TSN, XB, YB, CC,TCI,CGN, FO, FJ, CMX,CMY, CS, TSP,CLX,CLY
1, 0, 0, *, 1, **, 0, 0, 1, 1, *, 1, *, *
* The default depends on the character generator (CGN) used.
** The default depends on the TCI used.
TSN TEXT STRING NUMBER
Determines from which text string the field obtains the printable information. 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 for more details). A TSN of 1 accesses the first line of text
data. A TSN of 2 accesses the second line of text data, and so forth. (Note: Text data is
the information that follows the ^D2 command (section 5.3).)
XB X BEGINNING COORDINATE
The X coordinate of the field is measured in dots. The far left edge of the print head as
viewed from the front of the printer is X co-ordinate 1. There is no X co-ordinate 0. The X
coordinate increases in size from left to right (See figure 7). An XB of 154 would place
the text one inch from the left side of the print head.
YB Y BEGINNING COORDINATE
The Y coordinate of the field is measured in dots. A YB of one 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
154 would place text one inch from the bottom of the label.
