LAYOUT, cont.
Remarks, cont. Note 1:
The bar code extended field record (E) corresponds to the six last
parameters in the BARSET statement. Must have a lower element number
than the corresponding bar code record (B), which specifi es the other
bar code parameters.
Note 2:
The maximum font name length in the LAYOUT statement is 10 characters.
Most font names in Intermec Fingerprint are longer. A workaround method
is to use font name aliases with a maximum length of 10 characters,
See Chapter 6, “Fonts”.

element and error code -1 is placed in the error array/fi le.

(sorted in ascending order)
Array position/File line No. 0: Record number for error 1
Array position/File line No.1: Error number for error 1
. . .

Array position/File line No. 2n-2: Record number for error n
Array position/File line No. 2n-1: Error number for error n
Also refer to the chapter “Label Design; Layout Files" in the Intermec
Fingerprint v7.50, Programmer’s Guide.
To improve the performance, it is strongly recommended to create the layout
and logotype name fi les in the printer’s temporary memory ("tmp:"). Once
they have been created in "tmp:", they could be copied to the printer’s
permanent memory to avoid losing them at power off.
Do not confuse this statement with the statements LAYOUT INPUT,
LAYOUT END, and LAYOUT RUN.
