Enable Code V Graphics
1. The Code V must be enabled for the Graphics Mode using the Graphics
Mode Enable command (PY). This is the first input to change the Code V
from the Normal Mode to the Graphics Mode.
Format: (cc)PY (cc)-
Enter: ^PY^-
2. To avoid accidentally terminating the graphics command sequence by a
host-generated terminator, enable the Free Format command (F). This
allows the Code V to accept the data as one continuous stream even
though the data may contain host-generated paper motion commands.
When Free Format is enabled, the Code V only recognizes the Free
Format command terminators: Carriage Return (^-), Form Feed (^,), Line
Feed (^*), Vertical Tab (^+), and EVFU commands.
Format: (cc)F (cc)-
Enter: ^F^-
Enable Dynamic Form Processing
3. Dynamic form processing allows specific data fields within the form/label
to be identified. After all form or label components have been created,
different sets of data can be supplied to the fields as copies of the label
are produced. To enable dynamic form processing, the Dynamic Form
command (B) is used followed by a Graphics Mode carriage return. It is
part of the standard graphics command set, and must be sent to the Code
V without being introduced by an alphanumeric command. Once dynamic
form processing is enabled, the Code V continues in the dynamic form
mode until properly completed.
Format: (cc)B (cc)-
Enter: ^B^-
Enable Horizontal Duplication
4. One label is created and duplicated on the page horizontally. This
produces a duplicate copy of the label when the dynamic data is supplied.
All commands required to create the label must fall between horizontal
duplication on and off commands. Begin with the Horizontal Duplication
(S) command to turn horizontal duplication on. Specify 2 copies (
n )
spaced 4.0 inches apart (
gap ). Send a Graphics Mode carriage return
after the Horizontal Duplication command.
Format: (cc)S
n gap (cc)-
Enter: ^S0240^-
