Note: The command ^FWR in the command node has no effect on printing barcodes, as
these have their own parameters for rotation. Define the barcodes needed for the
landscape label in SE73 with the necessary rotation.

Field Positioning—X, Y Coordinates


Labels normally use a “field” concept whereas Smart Forms use a “Page Window” style
of design. Label fields normally have a fixed “origin” whereas text in forms is much
more dynamically positioned.

We recommend that you make a separate “Window” for each field on the label. Each
Window should then have an associated Node (Text, Bar Code or Logo). Multi-line Text
fields may all be tied to a single Window. The reason for this is the location of each
Window specifies the fields (Nodes) X and Y co-ordinates.

All of these fields must be inside the Main Windows. Please ensure that your Main
Window is large enough! We also believe that it’s good practice not to associate any
Nodes with the Main Window.

Lines and Boxes


Lines and boxes are drawn, as with any Smart Form, via drawing a new Window,
selecting the “Output Options” Tab and then entering a point size for the “box and
shading” options.

Reverse boxes, for text reversing, can be enabled by using the ^LRY command in the
printer settings node

S_LZPL_SETUP.

See printer setting for more information.


Note: Ensure that you have “Always draw box and shading” checked in the “output
Options of your Windows” Grey Value must be 0 (hollow) or 100 (sold).
