Font and Font Size

Rotation

Row

When working with fonts, you have three considerations:

font appearance

font size

font spacing (monospaced or proportional)

See Appendix B, "Using Fonts," for more information.

The rotation of your field or individual characters. Fields and characters can be rotated 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees.

The horizontal line where printing begins. The number of rows available depends on the label size you use. You can begin a field at any row. However, towards the top and bottom of the label, you must make sure there are enough rows to print the font size or bar code selected.

Column

The vertical line where printing begins. You can begin a field at

 

any column. However, on the edges of the label, you must make

 

sure there are enough columns to print all the characters in a

 

field. Bar codes require a “quiet zone” (non-printing zone) on

 

each side of the bars for scanning. The quiet zone is .10 inches

 

per side. Fore more information about bar codes, see Chapter 6,

 

“Defining Bar Code Fields.”

NOTE: All samples shown in the “Defining Fields” chapters are created using 2.0-inch long by 2.0-inch wide supplies.
