11/24/09 APL-I Reference Guide 14177L-003
Format Position in a Page, Assign
Purpose To assign a format to a page position.
Syntax
Mp,n
Supported Based on testing, this command works the same on the Zebra printer with
APL-I firmware as on the 3400D printer.
Important If the format ID is out of range, an error code of 36 is generated. A format can be
in several locations within a page.
Notes n is the numeric format ID, and p is the page position.
Graphic, Select
Purpose To choose a graphic for graphic fields.
Syntax
cn
Supported Based on testing, this command works the same on the Zebra printer with
APL-I firmware as on the 3400D printer.

Important • Valid for graphic fields only.
Graphic or UDC, Define
Purpose To map a column of bitmap for a graphic or a font character.
Syntax
u

APL-I firmware as on the 3400D printer.
Height Magnification of Bar, Box, or UDC, Define
Purpose To determine box, bar code, or UDC height magnification.
Syntax
hn
Supported Based on testing, this command works the same on the Zebra printer with
APL-I firmware as on the 3400D printer.
Notes n corresponds to the vertical magnification of the character bitmap for human-
readable fields, POSTNET symbology, and graphics. The printer uses the highest value
possible when n is set too large. For a 200 dpi printer in Advanced mode, a dot is 5 mil; for a
400 dpi printer a dot is 2.5 mil.
