Data: Depending on what is printed, the data
will be the text printed out on a receipt or label
that is human readable, or the characters that are
machine readable with a scanner.
Field Options: The user can multiply the height or
width of text, graphics and bar codes.
Name: The Name of what you are printing is the style of font or bar code
or line, or the file name of the graphic. An example of the name of a font
is “MF102.” Do not put spaces in the “Name” or the printer will reject
your pr int reque st.
Row,Column: where to print text, graphics, bar codes and lines. A typical pri nt
request will consist of the word “Print” and a number of items to be printed, each at a
different row and possibly at a different column. In order for text to line up properly,
keep the column number the same, (e.g. @10,30 (information)| @ 60,30
(information)|). Note: There can be no spaces before or after a colon.
Global Options: an action that refers to entire receipt or label. A global option can be used to stop
the paper after a specified number of dotlines or at a specified mark, to rotate an image, or to print a
specified number of copies all at once or on demand. A colon follows global options, if any.
