4.5.5 FILLED RECTANGLE
A filled rectangle field is broken down into five different parameters. The first two are
the start coordinates, the next two are the length and width. The fields to be defaulted
must be separated by commas and a carriage return must follow each graphic field
definition.
The following is a list of filled rectangle field mnemonics and their default values:
XB, YB, RW, RH,TCI,,,,,,,,AN
1, 1, 1, 1, 9,,,,,,,, 0
Note: All values must be positive integers.
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 coordinate 1. There is no X coordinate 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.
RW RECTANGLE WIDTH
The width of the rectangle (measured in dots).
RH RECTANGLE HEIGHT
The height of the rectangle (measured in dots).
TCI TEXT CONVERSION IDENTIFIER
Always set to a value of 9.
AN ATTRIBUTE NUMBER
If this parameter is set to a value of 2, the field can be printed white on black. A value
of 0 is normal.
