Note: Solid black print should not exceed 30% on a given square inch of the label, or
the printhead life may be decreased.
Field placement in the packet is an important consideration when using field color
attributes. If a line field is defined before the overlay (text or constant text) field,
the line field is blocked out by the overlay field, depending on the overlay field’s
color attribute. If a line field is defined after the overlay field, the line field is not
blocked out by the overlay field, regardless of the overlay field’s color attribute.

L Align on left side of field.
C Center text within field (monospaced fonts only)
R Align on right side of field (monospaced fonts only)
