INTRODUCTION

Example

Sample program code is included here showing

proper use of the command.

NOTE: The sample code shown does not always include

all the lines in the label format that produced the sample

label. Header lines,

END statements and the like are often

omitted to save space.

Also, the label images shown only illustrate the features or

command under discussion. They are not to scale. The

labels your printer produces using the sample code will

differ considerably from the label images in this document.

Important Programming Rules

Use blank spaces exactly as shown in the command descriptions. Blank

spaces are the delimiters between parameters. Omitting a necessary

space may cause incorrect label printing.

Do not send extraneous control characters to the printer.

End every command line with a line feed or a carriage return and line

feed. If you create labels using a word processor, confirm that your

system uses "hard" carriage returns (inserts ASCII characters 10 and 13

at the end of each line).

Begin every label format with a header line. End every format with an

END statement, unless otherwise noted in the command descriptions. (A

few commands are "stand alone" and should not be followed by an END

statement or any other commands.)

Not all printers support all commands, and there may be some variation

in command use depending on the printer model. Review your printer's

User's Guide and the compatibility information in Tables 1, 2, and 3

before you begin writing label formats or software.
