Instruction manual

B10. text Appearance of text with bar code. For UPC and EAN only use 0 to 7. For all others, use 8, except
where noted. Options:
0 Default
MaxiCode Mode 0 (obsolete)
QR Code Model 2
1 No check digit or number system
QR Code Model 1
2 MaxiCode Mode 2 (Numeric Postal Code)
QR Code Model 2
3 MaxiCode Mode 3 (Alphanumeric Postal Code)
5 Number system at bottom, no check digit
6 Check digit at bottom, no number system
7 Check digit and number system at bottom
8 No text, bar code only
MaxiCode (autodetect modes 0, 2, or 3)
B11. alignment Choose L, R, C, B or E to align the bar code data correctly in the field. B centers variable width bar
codes, which may not allow pad-character centering (Code 128, Code 39, etc.) E right justifies
variable width bar codes. MaxiCode and QR Code must use L.
B12. field rot Field rotation. Field rotation rotates the whole field, not just the characters. Rotation is affected by
the pivot point, which varies depending on how text is justified. Lower left corner of field is the pivot
point. Options:
0 Top of field points to top of supply
(Use for Maxicode)
1 Top of field points to left of supply
2 Top of field points to bottom of supply
3 Top of field points to right of supply
Note: Serial bar codes printed at speeds greater than 3.0 IPS may not scan properly.
Example B,3,12,V,50,40,1,2,80,7,L,0 p
Defines a bar code field (field #3) with 12 characters of variable length starting at row 150,
column 40. A UPCA bar code with a density of 2 and a height of 80 is used. The check digit
and number system are shown at the bottom. The bar code is left aligned without any field
rotation.
Defining Constant Text Fields
A constant text field is a set of fixed characters that prints on all labels. Define each constant
text field separately. This field is not assigned a field number, but is counted as a field (keep
this in mind, as the printer allows a maximum of 1000 fields per format). The characters in this
field cannot be changed by batch data. Field options do not apply to constant text fields. Mark
the pivot point of your field. This will vary, depending on how your field is justified.
