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
L##, ROW, COLUMN, DIRECTION, STOP, THICKNESS p
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.
