Defining Line Fields 8-1
DEFINING LINE FIELDS
Use lines to form borders or mark out original prices. Define each
line separately.
NOTE: This field is not assigned a field number, but is counted as a field
(keep this in mind, as the printer allows a maximum of 50 fields per
format).
You can define any line length and a thickness up to 10 dots, as long as the
solid black print does not exceed 30% of any given square inch of the label.
Data edits do not apply to line fields.
NOTE: All samples shown in this chapter are created using 2.0-inch long by
2.0-inch wide supplies.
