4.5.2 VECTOR FONTS
The following is a list of vector font field element mnemonics and their default values:
TSN, XB, YB, CC,TCI,CGN, FO, FJ, CWX,CWY, CS, TSP, AN,STK
1, 0, 0, 1, 4, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, *, 1, 0, 1
* The default depends on the size of the characters (CWX,CWY).
Note: All values must be positive integers.
TSN TEXT STRING NUMBER
This parameter determines from which text string the field obtains the data. This allows
for more than one field to use the same text string. A TSN of 0 accesses the clock chip
text string (see section 5.3.4). A TSN of 1 accesses the first line of data. A TSN of 2
accesses the second line of data, and so forth. Data is the text that follows a ^D25
command in a label layout.
XB X BEGINNING COORDINATE
The X coordinate of the field is measured in dots. The far left edge of the label as
viewed from the front of the printer is X co-ordinate 1. There is no X co-ordinate 0. The
X coordinate increases in size from left to right (See Figure 7). An XB of 203 would
place the text one inch from the left side of the label.
YB Y BEGINNING COORDINATE
The Y coordinate of the field is measured in dots. A YB of one would be specified as
the first edge of the label coming out of the front of the printer during a label print. The
Y coordinate increases in size from the bottom to the top of the label (See Figure 7). A
YB of 203 would place text one inch from the bottom of the label.
CC CHARACTER COUNT
This parameter determines the number of characters that will be used in a field. If the
number of characters in the selected text string is more than the quantity specified by
CC, then the remainder of the text string is ignored. If the text string has less than the
number of characters specified by this parameter, then only those characters defined
by the text string are printed. For example, the text string - MICROCOM - would be 8
characters long.
TCI TEXT CONVERSION IDENTIFIER
Always set this parameter to a value of 4.
