7-4 Defining Constant Text Fields
Font Color
Depending on your printer’s configuration, enter the color of
the selected font. For more information about your printer’s
configuration, see Chapter 3, “Configuring the Printer.”
Solid black print should not exceed 30% on a given square
inch of the label, or printhead life may be decreased. There
are two types of field color overlay attributes:
Transparent The overlay field (text or
constant text) does not block
out or “erase” existing fields.
Opaque The overlay field blocks out or
“erases” existing fields.
Field placement is an important consideration when using
field color attributes. If a line field is defined before the
overlay (text or constant text) field, the line field is blocked
out by the overlay field, depending on the overlay field's
color attribute. If a line field is defined after the overlay
field, the line field is not blocked out by the overlay field,
regardless of the overlay field's color attribute.
Choices include Black Opaque, White Opaque, Black
Transparent and White Transparent.
Justification
Alignment of the text within the field. Choices include Left
(L), Right (E), and Center (B). Fonts 1012 and 1013 (Letter
Gothic 6.5 and 9 pt) default to L (left).
Character Rotation
Depending on your printer’s configuration, enter the
character rotation of the selected field. For more information
about your printer’s configuration, see Chapter 3,
“Configuring the Printer.” Choices include Top of Field, Left
of Field, Bottom of Field, and Right of Field.
The field or supply does not rotate, only the characters do.
