Starting Your Format Design
To prepare a layout of your format design, you must define its
basic elements. You must decide the:
•
Size of the supply.
•
Number of fields to be printed on this supply.
•
Types of fields that will be printed (bar code, line,
graphics or text).
•
Location of each field.
•
Maximum data length for each field.
•
Font style and size for each field.
•
Direction each field will be rotated for printing. See
"Rotating a Field."
Section 3 contains a tutorial for entering the sample format you
are about to design. The design for the sample format has:
•
Supply size of 1.20 inches wide by 2.00 inches long.
•
Field rotation of TOP (the top of each field points toward
the top of the supply).
•
Five regular fields, a sub-field, a merged field, and a
graphic box around the date field.

our design:
