8. Now that you have determined the Conditional Surround Graphic shape and color, you need to determine its size.
Change all the parameters for the Conditional Surround Graphic row. Please note that as you alter the values in these
boxes, the changes will be made dynamically in the Conditional Surround Graphic Sample window. The parameters are
as follows:
a. Start char – This parameter, measured in character columns, specifies where the left edge of the Conditional
Surround Graphic will print relative to the left edge of the receipt. The default value for this parameter is 0
character columns. To move the Conditional Surround Graphic to the right, increase the value within the Start
char field.
b. Width in chars – This parameter, also measured in character columns, determines the width of the Conditional
Surround Graphic. The default value for this parameter is 1. To increase the width of the graphic, increase the
value within the Width in chars field.
c. Height in chars – This parameter, measured in characters or lines, represents the vertical height of the
Conditional Surround Graphic. The default value for this parameter is 3. To increase the height of the
Conditional Surround Graphic, simply increase the value within the Height in chars field.
9. After identifying the specifics of the Conditional Surround Graphic, identify where the data within your shape will be
positioned on the receipt. To do this, you must change the parameters for the Data Surround Area row, which is located
directly underneath the Conditional Surround Graphic row. Please note that as you alter the values within these
boxes, the changes will be made dynamically in the Conditional Surround Graphic Sample window. The parameters
are as follows:
a. Start char – This parameter, measured in character columns, represents the position of the first character of text to
be surrounded in relation to the left edge of the receipt. The default value for this parameter is 0 character columns.
To move the Data Surround Area to the right, simply increase the value within the Start char field.
b. Width in chars – This parameter, also measured in character columns, determines the width of the text that
you wish to surround. The default value for this parameter is 15. To increase the amount of text to be surrounded,
increase the value within the Width in chars field. For example, if you want to surround the words “YOU SAVED,”
you would enter 9 as a value for Width in chars, because it contains 9 characters.
c. Height in chars – This parameter, measured in characters or lines, represents the vertical height of the text to be
surrounded. The default value for this parameter is 3. To increase the height of the Data Surround Area, simply
increase the value within the Height in chars field.
