B12. field rot Field rotation. Field rotation rotates the whole field, not just
the characters. Rotation is affected by the pivot point, which
varies depending on how text is justified. Lower left corner of
field is the pivot point. Options:
0
Top of field points to top of supply
(Use for Maxicode)
1
Top of field points to left of supply

NOTE:
Serial bar codes with an 8-dot narrow element do not
automatically print at 2.5 IPS. Serial bar codes
printed at speeds greater than 2.5 IPS may not scan
properly.
Example
B,3,12,V,150,40,1,2,80,7,L,0 p
Defines a bar code field (field #3) with 12 characters of variable
length starting at row 150, column 40. A UPCA bar code with a
density of 2 and a height of 80 is used. The check digit and
number system are shown at the bottom. The bar code is left
aligned without any field rotation.
Defining Non-Printable Text Fields
Non-printable text fields allow you to enter data without printing it
in its entered form. Typically, non-printable fields "hold" data that
later combines with other fields to form a merged field. Define
non-printable text fields before you define the field where the
information prints.
When you copy this field into another field, the maximum number
of characters for the final field is
2710 (
or
0-100
for 9403/9805).
Allow only as many characters as you need, because extra
characters use up space. Also, if you are copying into a bar code
field, the maximum number of characters in the destination bar
code is determined by the bar code specification (UPCA-12,
EAN-13, etc.). You need to apply field options to manipulate the
text entered in this field. For example, you may want to copy data
from this field into another field. See "Option 4 Copy Data" in
Chapter 4 for more information.
