Line Field

The message structure below transmits a line field. This data stream defines the bit map to form a graphic line field. Use the line field to emphasize data by printing a line or box.

You can have up to 100 line images. The line record can be placed in a format data stream anywhere following the format header record.

Syntax

NOTE: Lines are counted as fields, just like text or bar code fields. When determining the number of fields in your format, count each line as a separate field.

	The L is followed by one or two digits for
	the field number. There can be up to 100
	fields per format, in any combination of
	text, barcode, line, or graphic fields.

	location of the field on the supply. This is
