Font and Font
Size
When working with fonts, you have three considerations:
♦ font appearance
♦ font size
♦ font spacing (monospaced or proportional)
See Appendix B, "Using Fonts," for more information.
Rotation
The rotation of your field or individual characters. Fields and
characters can be rotated 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees.
Row
The horizontal line where printing begins. The number of rows
available depends on the label size you use. You can begin a
field at any row. However, towards the top and bottom of the
label, you must make sure there are enough rows to print the
font size or bar code selected.
Column
The vertical line where printing begins. You can begin a field at
any column. However, on the edges of the label, you must make
sure there are enough columns to print all the characters in a
field. Bar codes require a “quiet zone” (non-printing zone) on
each side of the bars for scanning. The quiet zone is .10 inches
per side. Fore more information about bar codes, see Chapter 6,
“Defining Bar Code Fields.”
NOTE: All samples shown in the “Defining Fields” chapters are created
using 2.0-inch long by 2.0-inch wide supplies.
