SENSE MARK
POSITION
If it is a hole sense mark the command is ~XMH. If it is a reflective sense mark the
command is ~XMR. This command is followed immediately by the sense mark's
position. If the 3" X 2-1/4" tag described above had a hole sense mark in the middle of
the tag, the sense mark command would be ~XMH1125. If the sense to cut distance is
0, a properly adjusted printer will cut at the leading edge of the sense mark.
Another common command for header information is the flagging command. The flag
is the tag or pair of tags that are made to separate batches. The flagging command is
~XF. The flagging command has several options that are described in the Reference
Manual. This tag will use the ~XFL command. This tells the printer to do a long/short
flag between the batches.
The complete format header for this example would be:
~XA~XP2250~XW3000~XMH1125~XFL
The field definitions would follow the header information. At the end of the field
definitions the command ~XZ is required to signal the end of the format description.
The overall format description would be structured like this:
~XA{Format Header}{Field 1 Desc.}{Field 2 Desc.}...~XZ
There are more features that can be presented in the format header information. These
other features are specific to certain printer and tag characteristics. The commands for
these features are described in the Reference manual.
