Designing a Label with ZebraDesigner™

• Sample Data — This is simply a representative sample of the data that will be printed.

Sample data is used for display purposes on the design screen, and in order to

calculate the width of the field. The width of the field can also be calculated by using

the Maximum number of characters (see maximum number of characters below).

Please do not use Parenthesis (Brackets “()”) within sample data as they are reserved

characters for ZebraDesigner™ mySAP Business Suite™.

• Multiline Variable — When Multiline Variable is selected, it enables Number of

Lines. See Number of Lines below.

•When Multiline Variable is not selected, when you click Next, the Automatic

Incrementing dialog opens. See Automatic Incrementing below.

•When Multiline Variable is selected, when you click Next, the Script Definition

dialog box opens. See Script Definition below.

• Number of Lines — This allows you to determine the number of lines parameter. The

sample data that you enter is verified according to the variable parameters (length,

number of lines) to assure correct display of the variable sample data on the label

design screen.

• Maximum number of characters — The width of the field is important for correct text

alignment, justification and word wrapping. In certain cases, if this value is not large

enough, text might word wrap on itself on the same line causing an appearance of

what looks like corrupt data. This value automatically defaults to the length of the

sample data, but you can extend it by using the spin control or edit box. The

maximum length of sample data is 100 characters. The real data stream can be

anything up to 3000 characters depending on the text or bar code object. This value is

not important for Zebra printers when using:

•Text fields not rotated and not using justification or word wrapping.

•Text fields rotated 90 degrees clockwise and not using justification, word

wrapping and not multi-line.

•Any field other than text.

This field is critical when using:

•Text fields on Zebra ZPL printers when they are rotated 180 or 270 degrees.

•Text fields on a Zebra ZPL printers where multi-line variable text fields are used.

This field basically sets the size of the object frame. Dragging the handles of text fields with

the SHIFT key held down can also set the frame size.
