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 w ill reject your print request.

Row,Column: where to print text, graphics, bar codes and lines. A typical print 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.
