Chapter 9. Creating Graphics
This chapter explains how to use graphic packets in your
formats to create graphic images on your tag and label
designs. This chapter includes how to:
✦ design graphic images.
✦ create graphic packets.
✦ include graphic images in your formats.
✦ use Binary to Hexadecimal and Dot to Run Length
charts.
You can use graphic packets to create
✦ compliance labels
✦ bitmapped images.
This chapter gives an overview of both approaches. To
include a graphic packet within your format, your format must
contain a Graphic Field. Refer to "Placing the Graphic in a
Format," for more information.
Overview of Compliance Labels ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
You can create compliance labels by using a graphic packet
for the fixed fields and a format packet for the variable fields
of your compliance label. The fixed fields of a compliance
label are composed of text, lines, or boxes, which are
repeated on each label. The variable fields are composed of
text, bar codes, and order information, which change with
each label. Using a graphic packet for the fixed fields saves
time, because the printer does not have to image all the lines
or boxes each time the compliance label is printed.
