Defining Text Fields 5-3
Row
The horizontal line where printing begins. For monospaced
fonts, distance from the bottom of print area to the pivot point.
The pivot point varies depending on how text is justified.
For proportionally spaced fonts, distance
from the bottom of print area to baseline of
characters in field. The range is 0 – 365.
Column
The vertical line where printing begins. Type
the column position for the field. The distance
from the left edge of the print area to the pivot
point is the column location. The range is
0 – 183.
Gap
Depending on your printer’s configuration, enter the number of
dots between characters. For more information about your
printer’s configuration, see Chapter 3, “Configuring the
Printer.”
The gap range is 0 – 9. For mono-spaced fonts, the additional
spacing is added to the existing inter-character gap. This is
also true for proportionally spaced fonts, but the inter-
character gap varies with character combinations. Any
number other than 0 affects your field width. Default spacing:
Letter Gothic Bold 6pt 1 dot
Letter Gothic Bold 9pt 2 dots
All other fonts vary with each letter
Use the default unless you want to create a special effect,
such as P R I C E (additional character spacing) in a field.
